Nurse Jackie & The Big C on Showtime

This Sunday Nurse Jackie and The Big C come back to Showtime. It makes for a busy Sunday night with Mad Men and The Good Wife. Just set your DVR to overdrive and you should be fine.

Nurse Jackie
Can't wait to see how Jackie manages sobriety. From the preview it looks like she's taking it to her and everyone elses limit, before she checks into rehab.

The Big C
How will Cathy deal with being the widow when all along we had all thought she would be the one to leave a widower?

It should make for two fascinating seasons.

I'll be tweeting along with the shows #NurseJackie and #TheBigC

The Big C Season 2 Finale

Tonight is the season 2 finale of The Big C on Showtime. With each episode I have a bit of anxiety, will she get sicker...Even more so with the season finale.
Hopefully, we will have some loose ends tied up a bit more happily than last week.
If the show stays true to the original plan, I think there will only be 2 more seasons, one for each season of the year. Hopefully we'll get more if it continues to be sooo successful.

The Big C on Showtime Aug. 16

The Big C premieres on Showtime Monday, Aug 16th. It stars Laura Linney, as a women diagnosed with terminal cancer and how that effects her. I think this show is going to be so relatable for so many of us. At this point in my life, I have had several important people in my life go through cancer with good out comes and the worst possible for a couple too.

I love this thing that Linney said about how when this character is diagnosed she doesn't create a bucket list, she just wants to be the person she always wanted to be, but right now. I feel like that has been more my experience. People don't care about seeing the Eiffel Tower, they want to be the friend, parent, artist, whatever it is, they want to get that in before they're gone.

Linney's costars are Oliver Platt, as her husband, who I really love, and Gabourey Sibide, as a student. Cynthia Nixon will be joining the cast as Linney's wild college friend and Liam Neeson for at least one episode.

Hopefully, this show will be as good, funny, and emotionally poignant as I'm expecting.
