This is not the first stoner TV series though. One of the first pot-themed TV series titled Weed hit the market in 2000. The eight-season show premiered on Showtime to tremendous success. Starring Mary-Louise Parker, Elizabeth Perkins, and Justin Kirk, the show picked up an Emmy award for Outstanding Cinematography in 2010.

According to the official synopsis of Disjointed, Kathy Bates plays the character of Ruth, a lifelong advocate for the legalisation of marijuana. She's living her dream as the owner of a cannabis dispensary, Ruth's Alternative Caring. But she is not alone in her endeavor. Her twenty-something-year-old son also joins her along with three charismatic "budtenders".

Disjointed will be a traditional multi-cam comedy. Chuck Lorre and David Javerbaum will double in brass as executive producers and writers. Chuck Lorre is the brain behind a number of successful sitcoms such as Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly, and Mom.
