After eight exciting, hilarious seasons, SHOWTIME's hit comedy series WEEDS is nearing the end with its milestone 100th Episode (September 9th), followed by the one-hour Series Finale (September 16th). Catch up on some of the best moments from the series below!

Some favorite faces will make memorable appearances and remind critics and fans alike of the long-running comedy series' best jaw-dropping, laugh-out-loud moments and colorful guest stars. The final episodes find the Botwins (& Doug!) at the crossroads – will a fateful trip hold the answers to all their problems? It's sure to be one unforgettable last toke in honor of television's favorite pot-dealing family and the eight-year high they've given viewers worldwide.

Since its debut on August 7, 2005, viewers have watched and marveled as Nancy Botwin (series star Mary-Louise Parker in her Golden Globe Award-winning role) progressed from a suburban widow who turned to selling dime bags to make ends meet for her family to a full-fledged marijuana queenpin. She was aided by brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) to help raise her sons Silas (Hunter Parrish) and Shane (Alexander Gould) - along with fellow Agrestic neighbor Doug (Kevin Nealon) in constant tow. Her narcissistic, danger-junkie antics paved the way for future sympathetic yet highly flawed anti-heroes who have since become standard television fare. The show and its many signature moments (including Nancy setting Agrestic ablaze, Shane's croquet mallet-bludgeoning, Andy's dog-eaten toes and self-gratification speech, the Armenian mafia Mexican stand-off, etc.) generated critical acclaim, a legion of fans and watercooler buzz for their sheer outrageousness.
