Former Weeds co-star Romany Malco is developing his own series and testing it out on YouTube viewers. Malco decided to create his own character after his Weeds role was written out of the show. He's leaving Conrad Shepard behind and moving on to the role of Tijuana "T.J." Jackson. Malco described Tijuana Jackson as an ex-convict living under house arrest. Under a strange, "only on TV" legal arrangement, T.J. stays out of jail by supporting the three women that live with him. The women also happen to be prostitutes and T.J.'s employees.
Malco will release new episodes of the show each week, exclusively on YouTube. I can't say that I love this concept. It reminds me of Seinfeld's "so the judge decrees that he become my butler" idea. Romany Malco was fantastic on Weeds, though, and I'd like to see him do well. He didn't mention the possibility of a Weeds spin-off in his interview, so perhaps that project's on the back burner or still in the the very early stages of development.
Would you rather see Romany Malco do a Weeds spin-off or play Tijuana Jackson on YouTube?

Weeds spinoff of course. Of course I think he should be on at least a few episodes of Weeds.

What's the name of his new show? How about T.J.'s Hookers? If it turns out good maybe he can do both. But I hope he does the Weeds spin-off at some point.
