Weeds — Season 4
Season four of *Weeds* arrived in June 2008, bringing thirteen new episodes to Showtime and concluding that September. Marking a fresh start for the series, the premiere episode, "Mother Thinks the Birds are After Her," bid farewell to the familiar “Little Boxes” theme song. From there on out, each episode’s opening credits – following a quick recap – introduced a unique title card, subtly hinting at the story within. These clever visuals playfully incorporated a reference to the episode's plot, often transforming into a marijuana leaf in a surprising twist. One memorable example featured a highway sign bearing creator Jenji Kohan’s name, with a lane-designating arrow morphing into a leafy symbol. As the Botwin family navigated another year of challenges, Silas and Shane continued to grow up – Silas, notably, reaching the milestone of his 18th birthday by season's end.
