She Wrote Feelings Down
Jackie spends the day at the beach with her family.
Yay. Something to look forward to on premium cable. With Dexter and True Blood on hiatus it feels like a massive waste to me to pay for it each month. You really need to watch Season 1 of Nurse Jackie if you are [...]

“Nurse Jackie is back on call for season two. New episodes Mondays at 10PM ET/PT beginning March 22nd. ”
SHOWTIME
Nurse Jackie is a show that is 30 minutes of great. Poignant, real, funny, heartbreaking, did I mention funny?
And Edie Falco. She is so much more ‘alive’ as Jackie than she ever was as Carmela on ‘The [...]

OMG!
SPOILERS!!!
I cannot believe that this has hit the internet! Unless being up here in the backwoods of Ontario for almost a month has completely thrown me off, Nurse Jackie’s Season finale “HEALTHCARE & CINEMA”  (Season 1: Episode 12), is not due to air until next week!
This type of ending was coming I suppose unless like [...]

Hey, fellow Nurse Jackie fans! Can’t believe that we have come to the last episode of Season 1 already!
I’m still in Canada (going home this weekend) where much of U.S. television preview content is unavailable to share, but hopefully the stuff I’m posting is viewable to the U.S. I’ll find out in a few [...]

Recap – S1E10 “Ring Finger”
It getting more difficult for Jackie to pretend that all is well in her life. On the way to one of her trysts with Eddie she almost forgot to take off her wedding band until prompted by O’Hara who earlier had apologized for her gaff (in Jackie’s over-reactionary opinion) and [...]

Last week:
Episode 9 – NOSEBLEED
Jackie admits a patient she has treated before. As his condition worsens, Zoey questions whether Jackie did enough to help him on his previous visit. Jackie’s drug use starts to cause spontaneous nose bleeds. O’Hara tells Jackie that her sister, who lives in Paris, has benefited from Jackie’s ability to juggle [...]

Episode 8
“PUPIL”
Jackie discovers that a new temp nurse is abusing drugs, but when she confronts him, he calls her on hypocrisy; Mrs. Akalitus still has the foundling infant left at the hospital; Coop reveals to Eddie that Jackie has a child.
Just finished watching E8 “Pupil.” Jackie is in full blown denial about her drug addiction,”Cancer [...]

OMG, Edie looks fantastic on Dave and she knows how to throw a ball (and catch) too!
I like her. She has absolutely no artifice. Is that the right word? She is who she seems to be and she’s at the top of her game, to be a bit punny.

Late Show
Letterman – Dave & Edie Falco’s [...]

“Edie Approaches the Mound”

The Proper No Thanks
Dr. O’Hara offers to pay for Jackie’s daughter’s education, but Jackie refuses her help.

Unisex, right?
Coop makes obnoxiously friendly conversation and Eddie decides to give him [...]

/EDIT 07.17 Wow. Sorry. Major proofreading didn’t get done here. Yikes./end edit Cool beans. EDIT/ Poo. Oh well. Warehouse 13 here I come!I thought that forthcoming eppys of Nurse Jackie were being made available by Showtime and if this embed works, indeed they are. Remind me why I’m paying a lot for television cable. For [...]

People Eat So Late
Dr. O’Hara takes Zoey out to dinner – much to Zoey’s excitement and O’Hara’s embarrassment.
(From Episode 5 “Daffodil”)

First off, apologies to any/all Nurse Jackie fans for the lack of video sneak peeks or promos. I was diligently scouring my Showtime YouTube subscription which, in the lead-up to series premiere, Showtime was [...]

Nurse Jackie
I think of all the reviews I’ve read thus far which critiqued Nurse Jackie, this one had the most imaginative way of describing a very telling aspect of Jackie. Her hair actually matches her demeanor. I’m hugely curious to know if the severe haircut on “Jackie” (Edie Falco) was her idea or was it [...]

Woah! That was even faster than Dexter!
Dexter, another Showtime original series got picked up for renewel after just two episodes.
Yesterday, after just one airing of  ”Nurse Jackie,”  Showtime said that it was part of the “biggest ever premiere night.” That was followed by the announcement that “Showtime has ordered a 12-episode second season of the Edie [...]

In episode 102, Dr. O’Hara and Jackie vents to Jackie about Dr. Cooper’s instincts diagnosing a patient with an abdominal aneurysm. New episodes Monday’s at10:30 PM ET/PT starting June 8th on Showtime.
I can’t help recalling Edie Falco’s character Carmela in The Sopranos always offering food whenever anyone is upset, using the same [...]

Jackie confronts Dr. Cooper after losing a patient during surgery.
It’s not what Nurse Jackie says to “Coop” that resonates as much as how Edie Falco plays her and thus it’s the unique-to-Edie style of delivery that really makes this scene pop.
“What you need to know is that I know you. I’ve seen hundreds of jerk-offs [...]
