Paging 'Nurse Jackie' - The New Showtime Series
For ten years I watched and loved Edie Falco as Carmela Soprano. And I am thrilled that she is returning to cable television with her own show. Although Showtime has not announced when the new series Nurse Jackie premieres, apparently it is slated to debut in early 2009.
Click here for a behind-the-scenes look at Nurse Jackie, narrated by and featuring Falco.
Edie Falco first caught my eye when she was a corrections officer on HBO's Oz during the late 1990's; it was obvious prior to her many intense confrontations with Tony Soprano that she could more than hold her own among and against the tough guys.
Falco deserves every accolade and award earned as Carmela Soprano (3 Emmys, 2 Golden Globes, 3 SAG Awards), and was the first actress to receive all three of those major television awards for Best Actress in a Drama Series back in 2000.
In addition to being one of television's top talents, Falco battled and recovered from breast cancer four years ago. Her courage and strength on screen and off is inspiring. I will always tune in to whatever project she's attached to, and look forward to seeing her again every week.
Hey Jo! It's been a while since I commented...but I thought it was fun to see you wrote something about Nurse Jackie.
I am living in NYC right now and I just ran into Peter Facinelli (Can't Hardly Wait, Fastlane, Damages, Twilight) at a bar. He is currently in town filming the show and is honestly the nicest guy. He was so polite and nice to myself and my friends.
I will be 100% supporting this new show and hope the best of ratings for Peter, Edie and the rest of the cast.

So, people have been asking me who the band is performing the song on the new "Nurse Jackie" promo and after some quality research, I dug them up. The band is called "TERRAPLANE SUN" and the song is called "Is There A Way." They are from Venice, Ca. and they are apparently amazing. There's your answer.
