Lionsgate Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Weeds: Season Two on 24th July 2007 priced at $39.98 SRP. Starring Mary-Louise Parker, Elizabeth Perkins and Kevin Nealon, “Weeds” examines family life in the suburban neighborhood of Agrestic, California, where recently widowed Nancy Botwin (Parker) is finding it hard to make ends meet while raising her two sons. Funnier, darker and more daring, the second season picks up where season one left off. Nancy’s budding business continues to grow, but keeping up with the neighbors in this suburban utopia isn’t easy. She’s joined up with a few of her closest friends, and together they’re facing life’s highs and lows – because even in paradise, nobody’s perfect.

Timed to coincide with the third season premiering in August on Showtime, Weeds: Season Two includes all twelve episodes presented in anamorphic widescreen with English DD5.1 Surround audio and optional English and Spanish subtitles.

The Nominations for the 59th Primetime Emmy® Awards will be announced Thursday, July 19, at 5:35 AM PT from the Goldenson Theatre on the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences plaza in North Hollywood and according to Variety, here the contenders list for Comedy supporting actress for an Emmy nomination:

Jenna Fischer, “The Office”: Fischer shines in putting her character Pam’s internal battle over her tortured love life on display each week. On a rare half-hour with multiple comedy actress contenders, Fischer leads the way.

Alyson Hannigan, “How I Met Your Mother”: Never nominated for an Emmy despite her respected work on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Mother,” Hannigan keeps the comic wheels turning on the relationship-driven CBS sitcom.

Melora Hardin, “The Office”: Hardin’s scenes as the beleaguered superior (and lover) of Steve Carell’s Michael Scott have been so winning, her only problem has been not being in every episode.

Elizabeth Perkins, “Weeds”: Mary-Louise Parker may be the star, but Perkins, at least up to now, is the breakout thesp awards-wise. With two Globe noms and one Emmy nom, voters are impressed with Perkins’ turn as the unstable suburban mom.

Jamie Pressly, “My Name Is Earl”: Nominated last year, Pressly hasn’t lost any of her “oh, snap” as Joy. Though the show itself seems to have lost a little of its freshman luster, Pressly has crackled on.

According to ComingSoon.Net, Andy Milder has been promoted to a series regular on Showtime’s “Weeds” for the dark comedy’s upcoming third season, which kicks off August 13. Milder has been recurring on “Weeds,” playing Dean Hodes, legal counsel for the suburban drug cartel and husband to Celia Hodes (Elizabeth Perkins). Mary-Louise Parker stars as a pot-dealing mom. Earlier this week, Showtime said Mary-Kate Olsen would join “Weeds” in a co-starring role as a devoted Christian girl.

As well, Carrie Fisher will join the cast of Weeds when season three begins August 13. Fisher will play a divorce lawyer retained by Celia Hodes (Elizabeth Perkins). Awesome!
