Nurse Jackie is back on Showtime tonight at 9p. She is still clean and sober, but that doesn’t mean the show is any less good. In fact this is the first season of the show that I actually enjoyed and couldn’t wait for the next episode and the one after that. In fact I watched all 10 episode of season 5 I was given in a day because I was that addicted to it.
Now that Nurse Jackie (Edie Falco) is sober, she has to figure out how to raise her kids as a single mom as she runs the nurses in the ER. Her soon-to-be ex-husband Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) is not making their divorce or getting custody of her kids easy. And her daughters are not going to make her life easy either because that is just what kids do. One of her friends will be leaving her and that will be hard on her. Plus she is going to start dating (Adam Ferrera) and he is pretty darn near perfect. Can she make that last or will she screw it up?
Then there is work. There is a new head doctor of the ER, Dr. Ike Prentiss (Morris Cheastnut), he is ex-military with trauma experience. He is really good at what he does and he is also really abrupt with everyone. Zoey (Merritt Wever) moves out, finds some independence and gets some something something! Coop (Peter Facinelli) will meet his match in an intern and she will have him by the balls. And of course there will be a lot of patients with a lot of interesting reasons why they are there. There will be birth, there will be death and everything in between.
And through all of this, Jackie will try to remain sober. Will she be able to do it or will she go back to her old ways? You just have to tune in to find out in what I think is the show’s best season yet.
David Steinberg is back with the second season of Inside Comedy on Showtime tonight at 11p and you don’t want to miss a single laugh on this talk show where you learn more about your favorite comedians than you ever thought you would find out about them.
On tonight’s season premiere you will learn that Louis C.K. does not want to take a picture with you, but he will do something else to make you happy. You will also see a very young Bob Newhart doing stand up and listen to his stories about how he got started. In the upcoming weeks, you will hear how Tina Fey’s daughter is disappointed in her. You will see Judd Apatow doing comedy with Second City. Find out how Jim Carrey got his job on In Living Color. Martin Mull shares with Steinberg that he was turned down for The Tonight Show, but another comedian got him on the show and they had to have him on. And then there is Drew Carey who had an even more interesting story when it comes to The Tonight Show that delayed the start of his career for three years, but made him a better comedian.
These are just a few of the examples of what you can expect from the show, but there is so much more to enjoy! Where else can you get to know some of the greatest comedians of today and yesteryear as well as you do on Inside Comedy? No where, so start watching it tonight on Showtime!
It seems like Matt Damon is all over the place these days and on Sunday at 10p he is going to be on Showtime’s House of Lies. The Oscar winner goes to the consultants to find a charity that is bigger than George Clooney’s thus making Jason Bourne look better than the Fantastic Mr Fox. Once he is in the meeting he then goes off on his Ocean’s co-star to Marty Kaan (Don Cheadle), who gets what he is going for. Which makes me wonder if these 2 Ocean’s stars are trying to tell us something about the man who was was their leader in the movies?
House of Lies is back on Showtime at 10p and Marty (Don Cheadle) and Jeannie (Kristen Bell) are trying to piece together that night and we will see what happened in flashbacks. They might not want to remember it, but we will never forget it.
Marty and Jeannie are back with the team and they are trying to win a new account. Only problem is they have no idea what the account is for. Will they be able to win over someone when they have no idea what he does? You have to tune in for an episode that will have you laughing from beginning to end.
Then at 10:30p Californication is rocking! Hank Moody’s (David Duchovny) book is being made into a Broadway musical and rocker Atticus Fetch (Tim Minchin) is going to write the music for it. He wants to meet Moody and Hank thinks he is an idiot. When Moody gets so f*cked up at their meeting, Charlie holds (Evan Handler) an intervention and Hank enters rehab. That’s right Hank Moody is going to rehab and he will make Celebrity Rehab look boring.
While he is there he will meet Faith (Maggie Grace), who is a rock muse. Her latest rock star died in their bed and that is what made her enter rehab. In a future episode Hank and Faith will get to her late boyfriend’s funeral and it is the weirdest one you will ever see.
But that will be nothing as compared to near-death experience almost all of our Californication favorites will experience on a plane. I can’t tell you what happens just yet, but you will want to watch the shocking moment over and over again.
All in all I think that this is Californication’s best season yet and I have love 4 of the last 5! So tune in every Sunday to see why I loved it so much!
At 9p Dexter picks up where it left off on Showtime and Deb has caught her brother doing what he does. Now he has to explain to his sister why Travis is lying dead, wrapped in plastic on an alter in a church. Will she believe what he tells her, or will she put her brother away for the crime(s) he has committed?
Since Dexter was interrupted while he was killing Travis, he will leave behind some evidence that might be what finally does him. That is unless Deb does it first?
As the show wraps up it run, you can see where they are going with their final episodes. And it will be a bittersweet end.
Then at 10p, Homeland the show that took the top 3 Emmy Awards in drama last week, is back for it’s second season. Carrie is out of the CIA, or at least she thinks she is. When one her contacts comes out of hiding requesting her help, she is forced back in. Is she ready to be back in the field?
Meanwhile Nick’s secret of being a Muslim is out to his family and his wife is going to have a hard time dealing with it. How will this change things between the two of them?
The show continues it Emmy worthy work tonight, so don’t miss a single second of it. Especially with what happens with at the ned of next week’s episode!
