Sure, it did precede Breaking Bad. I didn't mean to phrase it that way. And I'll agree with your assessment. The reason I linked them all together is that they all are focused around the drug trade. And I guess that's where I'm a bit short sighted.
There's another strange thing. You call Weeds a comedy, which I'll concede that it is, but bizarrely, I don't find it that funny. I don't mean that to say it's bad. But I hardly ever laugh at it. Hell, I laugh more at The Wire than Weeds. Except for Kevin Nealon, he's amazing.
In any case, I guess what I meant by comparing them was how seriously each show takes its particular drug. And compared to heroin and meth, weed is kind of eh. Still a good show though.
Though one point against Weeds, I haaaaate that theme song. I can take almost anything, but I have to mute that intro whenever I watch it.
