Is Mary-Louise Parker leaving Weeds?

Talk about harshing my buzz, bro. Actress Mary-Louise Parker is reportedly thinking about leaving the Showtime comedy Weeds, says the New York Post. Parker plays Nancy Botwin--the weed-dealing suburban mom--and has earned several Emmy nominations for the role.
Parker is signed on through season six, and "a source close to one of the cast members" says she is planning on exiting at the conclusion of Weeds' sixth season (season five starts this summer).
The move makes sense for Parker, who in good position to further her career in film or higher-profile television shows (which sucks because she's so darned good as Nancy).
Showtime would have to be high to think Weeds could work without Mary-Louise, so if Parker leaves, expect Weeds to be done too.

Ugly Betty Gets Earlier Return Date
Good news for Ugly Betty fans! ABC is bringing the show back from its spring hiatus a week early.
The four remaining episodes of the season begin on April 30 with "Rabbit Test," in which the Suarez family meets Matt's billionaire dad, Calvin Hartley (guest star David Rasche), and Wilhemina questions her biological relationship to her son, William. The May 21 finale, in which we hear there might be wedding bells, will be two hours long.
The early return means that In the Motherhood and Samantha Who? have been benched for now. While neither show has been canceled, it certainly isn't a good sign.

ABC Announces 12 Pick-Ups for the 2009-10 TV Season
The renewed scripted series are Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Lost (whew, that was a nailbiter!) and Ugly Betty.
On the reality front, Dancing with the Stars, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Supernanny, Wife Swap, The Bachelor and, yes, America's Funniest Home Videos are all officially coming back.
The biggest "news" here is perhaps that Private Practice made the cut. Some considered the sophomore drama to be on the "bubble," though its numbers have been strong-ish ever since its multi-week crossover with mothership Grey's.
Also of note: Although Ugly Betty is definitely back, Samantha Who? — which recently and unsuccessfully co-opted Betty's Thursday berth — thus far is MIA from ABC's future plans.
