Who are Doug and Andys characters on Weeds?

Question

I have never seen the first season and I am just now watching the 2nd on DVD. Are Nancy and Andy actually brother and sister? and why is Doug even involved? Who is he? (funny as h**l though! haha)

Answer 1

Andy Botwin

Nancy's aimless, yet well meaning, brother-in-law came to her rescue when her husband Judah died unexpectedly. Andy stepped up to the plate as the eccentric uncle and de facto male influence. What pre-pubescent boy wouldn't love for his uncle to take him to a Thai massage parlor for his first happy ending? When he's not smoking his share of the profits, he's held disastrous stints in Rabbinical school and the U.S. Army.

Doug Wilson

Nancy's accountant's daily habit kept her in business during the early years — so much so that he joined her motley marijuana cartel as an advisor. Doug's inability to filter his thoughts before speaking frequently lands him in trouble. He also frequently squares off with fellow city council member Celia — his foe and former s*x partner. His marriage went up in smoke, but he's never depressed — he'll always merrily toke the blues away.
