Showtime’s NURSE JACKIE!!

Carola by gotilk	Jun 8th, 2009 04:03:46 AM
I second that. Could we all pitch in and buy him some mics though?
But with an additional "L". by gotilk	Jun 8th, 2009 04:04:24 AM
Damn.
Adam Carrolla is one funny cunt by IMFletch	Jun 8th, 2009 05:03:49 AM
I download with iTunes and listen in my car. Makes the commute soooo much better. He's made me laugh so hard I've actually had to pull over and stop the car so I didn't get in an accident.
herc - dont be shocked you didnt get nurse jackie by palewook	Jun 8th, 2009 05:20:26 AM
think this show is aimed at the female audience. its just bipolar, wanting to be for men and women, fails at male, and forgets to be for women. i see a 1 season series unless showtime decides to make a second season just for the sake of having a second season.
Just watched the pilot. Loved it by Chain	Jun 8th, 2009 09:12:44 AM
Falco is a tour de force in this show. Some really good honest observations are made that you don't get on network enough or with the same bluntness. Unpredictable and yet not. Jackie has a heart of gold but it's got a price being so empathetic. will watch this one.
Is it a comedy? Is it a dramedy? Is it a serious series? by santoanderson	Jun 8th, 2009 10:23:08 AM
The marketing for this show is just off. All the Nurse Jackie web banners make me think she's crazy... but that could just be Edie Falco. She should just go back to 30 Rock.
Adam Carolla is the Jean Sheppard for Gen X by Greggers	Jun 8th, 2009 10:50:46 AM
I'm liable to catch all kinds of hell for what I just wrote in that subject line, but to hear Carolla waxing nostalgic about his days growing up in California in the 70s and 80s, and about his assortment of knucklehead friends and associates -- it's like a vulgar version of Sheppard's monologues, or a modern version of Steinbeck's TORTILLA FLATS. He's a inadvertant raconteur, and when he's really rolling, he's one of the best things on the internet.* *Offer may not include occasional dips into Archie Bunker-esque racism and homophobia.
Well, I liked it. by fanboy71	Jun 8th, 2009 11:08:57 AM
I loved the Sopranos, but was never a big fan of Falco. I watched Nurse Jackie a week ago on on demand and thought it was very good. I laughed a few times, and really enjoyed the characters and their interactions. I didn't go into it thinking it was a sitcom, and that I would laugh. I actually thought it was a drama, so the laughs were nice. I love the Doctor (Peter "I'll kick everyone's ass in this room!" Facinelli) who has a tendency to act out sexually when nervous, like tourettes. All in all it's no Dexter, but it's enjoyable.
I liked it by punto	Jun 8th, 2009 11:20:00 AM
it's not a sitcom, so why compare it to them? I'm not that into this whole "us nurses, we know more than the doctors because we have a heart" bullshit tho. get a goddamned education and try again.

well, it seems like these reviews by oisin5199	Jun 8th, 2009 01:43:08 PM
mostly disagree with Herc. I'm having less and less faith in his reviews anyway. I don't get Showtime, but we'll probably watch this online or DVD. Still gotta catch up with last season of Weeds!
If it's on cable, it must have tits in it right? by lockesbrokenleg	Jun 8th, 2009 02:03:59 PM
I bet this thing wins 100 awards at the next Emmy's.
Is Cloris Leachman on this? by lockesbrokenleg	Jun 8th, 2009 02:20:07 PM

Ryan Chappelle lives!!! by Willyer Hero	Jun 8th, 2009 03:06:52 PM

pardon me by NudeandAroused	Jun 8th, 2009 03:49:08 PM
i remember getting razzed that I didn't laugh at "The first 10 minutes" of "30 Rock." Not that I didn't deserve it. I guess, though Herc didn't laugh either?
Falco isn't pretty but.... by Pissed Off And Bitter	Jun 8th, 2009 04:10:13 PM
She has one juicy ass! I was surprised when she went nude on the Sopranos. That is one great ass.
enjoyed the pilot by ls420	Jun 8th, 2009 04:39:07 PM
major potential, good partner to weeds.
Sounds like House by Crooooooow	Jun 8th, 2009 05:59:38 PM

Nurse Generic... by Henry Fool	Jun 8th, 2009 06:38:24 PM
What I love about these cable shows is that they've been giving us topics we don't see on the ordinary networks. The mafia, morticians, the royal family, a pot dealing mom. These are all shows who's unique premises made them immediately appealing. Now Showtime puts out a show with an actress who's an icon in of the cable drama and all they can give us is another medical soap opera? I mean if it were a show like the BBC's, Red Wing, where the medical establishment is really criticized. But I'm sick of all these shows that glorify doctor's and cops and paints them as superheroes. That kind of kind of stuff just reeks of propaganda.
nurse generic? did anyone here actually watch this? by karmakitten13	Jun 9th, 2009 01:34:20 PM
First of all, I didnt think it was meant to be a comedy. Its in that weird grey area of being a dark dramedy. And to call her generic? What generic nurse do you know that snorts meds to get thru the day, forges a patients donor card signature, and steals a fat ass money clip from another? I think this first episode shows real potential.
Paul Schulze & Edie Falco graduates of "Laws of Gravity" by AzulTool	Jun 9th, 2009 04:50:03 PM
If you've never seen Nick Gomez's "Laws of Gravity", it's worth watching.
