I love this show. The writing is incredible, and after a few episodes I really care about these characters. Edie Falso is such a great actress. And Judith Ivey should get an Emmy nod for last night's guest appearance, she was amazing.

This is one fantastic new show.

LOVE this show! Sorry, I missed your earlier reviews. I really like Peter Facinelli (Hope I spelled that right!) in this show. He plays the lovable dofus so well.

I was not a huge Sopranos fan (Let the lynching begin) But Edie Falco is amazing in this show.

this show is way more entertaining than I would have expected. I really enjoy it, but I can also understand how people in the medical profession can get annoyed at it too.

I hope the show can last without using up all the possible material right off the bat. I call that, "Boston Public" syndrome. Yes, I'm sure everything that happened on "Boston Public" was something that possibly happened at some point in some school, somewhere in the country, and they just took all those crazy things and had them happening at just ONE school. In Nurse Jackie, it's the same thing so far, just a hospital setting, and I think the only problem is that they'll run out of material.

you are right this is a great show, but in order to receive more comments, maybe try adding some more insights as to what was, what is, and what may be.

With that being said, fantastic show; one in which i hope gets picked up for many more seasons to come.

Favorite part: when the head lady says there better be nothing in that bag. Jackie always knows what she is doing!

the one that made me laugh the most was where Nurse Korsenowski said to the hospital adminstrator 'Sounds like a disease, like... I've got Ackalidis' or something to that effect. E. Falco is great in this series as well as the rest of the cast. I didn't think I would like a drama centered around a hospital setting, but all the episodes have been spot on and blast to watch.

Nurse Jackie is SO WELL WRITTEN!!!

Hilarious! I laugh every episode!

Boss Akalitus is too funny! Always pushing her authority :-)

I did like this episode... just half of an hour, and I laughed out loud (at Zoey and O'Hara) and got mad (I thought Eddie was mean to Zoey, that seemed weird) and cried, at the end, of course. Poor tough old bird.

Funny to see cat ball come back, and I suspect we'll see more of him. I liked the whole deal about Swoosie saying she got to do the fun stuff, because the other Mom wanted them to bond. That's real.

And, Akalitis is awesome. Also real, that she, as a hardass administrator, comes in for an off-shift, because she noticed Jackie schedules people she likes to work with her, and she wants to make sure they're working. Oh yeah. And they STILL got over on her. Which makes all us little people feel victory!

This show is what I wanted HawthoRNe to be, and in half the time commitment. Love it more every single week.

I like this show, but find the characters too unbelievable.

I agree with you. Nurse Jackie and Rescue Me are the only two "must see" tv shows left.

I thought the first episode was aweful but it keeps getting better week after week! And why doesnt the cat guy just get the cat declawed?? I would have (and did) gotten my cat declawed asap if it did something half as bad. Declawing is much better than killing it

I have to agree. This show does keep getting better. This episode was soo funny and sad at the same time. Nurse Jackie definitely did the right thing by letting Nurse K die with dignity. Also, Dr. Cooper's mother saying "for so much pain, it does look like much". lol. No wonder he loves the other mother more. Soo much laughter and tears. Love this show and cast.

I think I'm going to dig just a little deeper and maybe get nowhere: Cat Ball guy, I'm assuming is not just being attacked by a cat. I feel like the audience needs more to cling to. Maybe he has a bad boyfriend and doesn't want to admit it. I haven't read earlier posts, but why does Jackie hide that she's married at the hospital? Why does she fool around with Eddie and have a seemingly happy marriage at home? Why the double life? I have to believe that there's more character development to come in order to keep this show going. Anna Devere Smith as Mrs. Akalitis is awesome.

Since you're looking for comment love, I'll give you some. This is the only show I can get my husband to watch with me. He LOVES it. We look forward to it. It's awesome. And this episode was particularly thought-provoking.
Yeah, this series is 5-stars in my book.

I haD NEEN REALLY ENJOYING THIS NEW SERIES. But this episode, with the assisted suicide and lesbian"moms " for doctor 'grab=a-tit' are quite possibly my last episode. I will most likely drop showtime now since they are following CBS and ABC IN either dropping or ruining a sdries.

Judith Ivey was BRILLIANT as dying nurse Paula... when she dug into her purse and pulled out her finger I almost fell off the couch. I hope this performance is remembered at next years emmys... BY FAR one of the greatest guest roles in recent years
