Caption It: Which Caption Should Win?
Edie Falco's expression in this picture from Nurse Jackie inspired some great captions last week.
But there can only be one winner! Here are this week's Caption It finalists:
- "Is that a scrunchie in your hair?
Does Nurse Jackie Discourage People From Nursing?
If any buzz is good buzz, then Showtime execs must be mighty pleased right now as nurses react to the new series starring Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie. Falco's lead character is no Florence Nightingale . .
TV Tonight: Weeds and Nurse Jackie
"The Hemptress" is back — and this time, she's bringing a friend. Weeds returns to Showtime tonight to start its fifth season, and the network is using that opportunity to launch a high-profile and intriguing new series, Nurse Jackie.
I'm especially curious to see what this season of Weeds will hold considering the total transformation the show undertook last year.
First Look: Nurse Jackie and The United States of Tara
Showtime's got several intriguing new shows on its roster, and recently, the network released first glimpses of two of them: The United States of Tara and Nurse Jackie, both of which have intriguing actresses in the lead roles.
The United States of Tara, which premieres in January, stars Toni Collette as a woman with multiple-personality disorder. The clip has some scenes from the show, and in between those, the stars (and writer Diablo Cody) talk about how the project came together out of an idea from Steven Spielberg.
Edie Falco Brings Her Funny Side to Showtime
As someone accustomed to watching Edie Falco's dramatic turn as Carmella Soprano, I thoroughly enjoyed her hilarious stint as Jack Donaghy's liberal love interest on 30 Rock last year. So I'm welcoming the news that Falco is going to combine the dark and the funny in a new series for Showtime.
Falco will star in an as-yet-unnamed half-hour comedy — and though it's just a pilot at this stage, the positive comments from Showtime's entertainment president (which include the line "Bada bing is all I can think of to say!") make it sound like almost a sure bet to become a series.
Emmy Breakdown: Lead Actress in a Drama Series
In the weeks leading up to the 2007 Primetime Emmy Awards, I'll be looking at the nominees in some major categories and trying to predict who's most likely to win in these Emmy Breakdowns. Up today: Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
Patricia Arquette ("Medium") — "Medium" isn't a show I regularly watch (er, I even suggested it should be stopped), but I do know that Arquette is a strong actress who really carries her show.
David Chase Speaks Out about "The Sopranos" Finale
"The Sopranos" creator David Chase wasn't trying to mess with viewers when he put together Sunday's controversial ending to the series. That's what he told New Jersey Star-Ledger columnist Alan Sepinwall in an exclusive interview, the only one Chase intends to do for a while. Here's what he said about the final moments of the episode (which, incidentally, was the highest-rated installment of the series since 2004):
"No one was trying to be audacious, honest to God.
Were You Satisfied with the Ending of "The Sopranos"?
After eight years, six seasons — and more whackings than I can count — "The Sopranos" finished its run last night with a crazy ending that certainly has you talking. The final few minutes (which you can watch here) had me feeling physically tense, and after some thought, I think the controversial final moment was the perfect way to end it. That being said, I'm only a casual fan of the series and I totally understand die-hards feeling short changed.
TV Tonight: "The Sopranos" Series Finale
One of TV's great institutions, "The Sopranos," will air its final episode on HBO tonight. The show has been credited with changing TV, not only inspiring a new generation of shows focusing on both sides of the law but also driving writers and producers to create multidimensional, complicated characters who give viewers something to talk about week after week.
In honor of the finale, I wanted to throw out a couple of questions for fans: What will you miss most about the show?
Seventy-Seven Sopranos Episodes in Seven Minutes
If, like me, you've fallen behind on "The Sopranos" and don't think you can catch up before its final episodes begin April 8, don't worry. A guy named Paul Gulyas has condensed all six seasons of the mob drama into seven jam-packed, fast-paced, "whacked out," and totally addictive minutes. I suspect HBO will be ordering YouTube to pull the video soon, but they really should leave it up — after all, I totally feel ready to watch "The Sopranos" now.
