Weeds fans seem to be a dedicated bunch. There are currently more than 263,000 of them on the show's Facebook page, many of them counting down until the show starts up again June 8, some of them coherently ("I love this show - can't wait until June!"), some of them not so coherent ("So very excite!!").

But then, this is a show about weed. So incoherent is okay, even encouraged. Look under the videos section on the Facebook page, and you find a commercial wherein several types of pipes and bongs argue who the best rock drummer was (votes for John Bonham from Led Zeppelin, Ginger Baker from Cream, Ringo Starr, and that dude from Def Leppard). Before you judge, more than 600 people liked that video, according to Facebook.

Then there's this video, for The Stoners: Second-hand Stoned, an action movie starring James Bong and Stash Box. Again, according to Facebook, more than a thousand people liked that one. And that will probably grow before Season 5 starts. If the videos get too popular, maybe Showtime should spin them off into their own series. Seems like it would be a lot easier to write.

And from the regular Showtime site, this preview:



For the enterprising, Web-savvy stoner (yes, they are out there), Showtime gives you the countdown widget. Consider that a bonus.
