Nurse Jackie

I am not a very organized tv watcher. I rarely watch new things, I forget to watch things, I forget to DVR things so most of my viewing is either DVD's or random, hit and miss channel surfing. That is why I love Video on Demand -- when it works, of course.

Yesterday, as an option to pacing the floors watching the landscapers, I decided to channel surf and hit on "Nurse Jackie". Of course, I got in on the tail end but it held my interest for a little while so I went to my video on demand service and watched the first episode. I enjoyed it even though it is based on a drug-addicted, adulterous emergency room nurse that reminds me of Ellen. I never thought of Edie Falco as an Ellen-esque person -- maybe it is the haircut. I digress -- In any event, I am looking forward to watching the rest of the episodes as it is a pretty compelling program -- drug abuse and adultery aside

I've never watched Nurse Jackie, but I've seen some previews that looked pretty funny. Maybe just a trifle disturbing, of course. I mean, I can overlook the adultery (to each his own) - but the idea of a drug-addicted nurse overseeing an emergency room isn't something I really like to contemplate. Of course, I try to stay out of emergency rooms - but, still...

Yeah, she does have a sort of Ellen-ish vibe.

It is actually a pretty good show but yeah, the idea of drug addicted anything nurses is pretty scary.
