More proof that TNT is the official network of strong women: it's lured Jada Pinkett Smith back to television. She'll be starring in — and executive-producing — the network's new drama pilot called Time Heals.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the show "centers on Nancy Hawthorne (Pinkett Smith), a strong but caring director of nursing at Charlotte Mercy Hospital in North Carolina, a single mother who always puts the pain of others first." That sounds like it could be a meaty role — and a show that will fit well on the network that also recruited Holly Hunter for Saving Grace and Kyra Sedgwick for The Closer.
Frankly, I'm happy anytime a TV network turns out a show with a powerful woman at its core, and it's about time we had another show with a woman of color in the lead. I'll be interested to hear more about this show as it moves forward. How about you?

I don't like her so I don't watch her stuff. I love TNT's strong women though. The season finale of The Closer is some of the best TV I've seen in a while.
So I'll be interested to see how the new show goes, but I won't be tuning in.
1Love Jada. I well definitely check this out if the pilot is picked up. Hopefully it will be as successful (well-written) as Kyra and Holly's shows.
2well i think that it's really impressive that TNT is coming to the table with all these original shows and the fact that they all have BIG names in the lead role - that's commendable. i wonder how well this show will do - it doesn't sound like one that i'm really going to be into - but i love jada so you never know what the allure there will be.
3I like Jada and am happy to see that she is working on tv again. It's been a long time since "A Different World"
4I see that Joanna Cassidy is playing Jada's mother-in-law. Can't get enough of seeing her.
5Loved seeing Jada on this show. Have been waiting to see what she did next. I loved everything about it. She is all that. Thought she was going to play Winter in Sis. Souljah's book, Coldest Winter Ever. She would be great in that.
6Love her and would be watching every tuesday nights before i go to sleep. finally something good to watch on TV. you are beautiful and definitely a strong women. Good LUCK BEAUTFIUL
