We have known Madeline Zima as a brunette ever since she was a little girl on The Nanny, and now we are seeing the Californication actress as a blonde. I am not sure why the Heroes star finally changed up her hair color, but I think it looks great on her. She looks good with her natural color or the lighter version of it.
The Big C premieres on Showtime tonight at 10p and you are not going to want to miss this series that is something to clap about. Laura Linney plays a suburban mom and teacher who finds out she has stage 4 cancer and opts not to get treatment. She handles it by not telling anyone including her husband who she separates from when she hears the news, her teenage son and her homeless brother. Instead she keeps her diagnosis to herself, and she finds the strength to no longer give a sh!t what anybody thinks about her and tells people exactly what she thinks about them. That includes her rebellious son, an overweight student and her miserable neighbor. Those interactions are so brilliantly delivered by Linney that I can’t think of anyone else executing them as well as her. Gaboiurey Sidibe is great as an overweight student that Linney finds an interesting way to get her to lose weight. The two will form a bond that will have you laughing and also touching your heart. As unlikable as Phyllis Somerville tries to be as the mean old neighbor, you can’t help but like her. Oliver Platt is sweet as Linney’s estranged husband. Reid Scott is awwwdorable as her doctor and you will totally want him to check out your boobs, but that comes in a later episode. So you are not going to want to miss that and many of the other great moments on The Big C every Monday at 10:30p on Showtime.
The Big C will quickly become your latest addiction just like pot! Well that is my way of segueing into the fact that Weeds is back on Showtime tonight at 10p and picks up right where it left off. What will Nancy and Shane do now that Pilar is left floating in the pool after getting hit in the head with a croquet mallet? Tonight’s episode deals with the consequences and an ending you will never see coming and will change everything up!
The fourth season of the darling Secret Diary of a Call Girl will be its last on Showtime according to James Hibberd. I am so sad that this show is ending because it is such a sweet show even though it is about a woman who works as a Call Girl. Although the show is ending Billie Piper thinks it might live on in a feature film and I would love to see how much further they can take it on the big screen.
BTW why does Showtime always seem to end my favorite shows early like Queer as Folk, Dead Like Me, The Tudors and now Secret Diary?
Nurse Jackie is back on Showtime at 10p and she hasn’t changed at all and that is a good thing. In the upcoming season she will help on some cases and screw up one big time. She will continue using drugs and will have to go to school because of her daughter’s injuries. Jackie will continue her affair and somehow still have time for her family. She will continue fighting with Dr Fitch Cooper and he will kill a woman in a strange way. The economy is effecting the hospital and someone will have to be let go? And there will be lots of interesting cases that they will come in and they will try to help! So watch Nurse Jackie tonight on Showtime at 10p for a show that is good as its first season.
Make sure to stay on Showtime at 10:30p for United States of Tara or one of her alters will come after you. Well maybe not, but they are back this season and there are a few new ones too. Although Tara thought she was alter free, when one of her neighbors commits suicide and her husband decides to buy his house, it does something Tara. Next thing she knows is that she is back to being Buck and he has a female bartender who becomes obsessed with him and causes problems in her marriage. Tara finally decides to get professional help, but you will never believe who it is? Tara really needs help because this season some her alters begin interacting with each other. Also this season her husband Max is arrested. Her son Marshall comes out, but not before he sleeps with a girl. Her sister Kate is pregnant and that is going to make her life difficult. The Gregors get to know their neighbors and they will all come together when a tornado comes to the neighborhood. When the tornado is over something will happen that will change things, but what will happen we don’t know yet… You will have yo tune in to Showtime every Monday at 10:30p to find out because this is one show you are not going to want to miss. There is a reason why Toni Collette won an Emmy for this role!
The Tudors fourth and final season begins on April 11th and it looks like the Showtime show will go out just as sexy as it started. In the final season we will meet Henry VIII’s last 2 wives and by the looks of that trailer he is going to have a lot of fun bedding them. While I am sad to see this show go, I am excited for one last exciting season!
