Do you watch any of them and what are your comments on them, if any?

I have watched HawthoRNe since it's beginning. I think I watch it like I do because of the actors than anything else. ER was another favorite to keep up with.

True stories in the ER is at the top of the list and rightfully, so.

And you?

I didn't like Nurse Jackie when I saw the first episode, then, for some reason, I started to watch on the internet and ended up liking the show. I think the half hour format stinks though. It takes at least an hour to develop an interesting story. I couldn't get through an episode of HawthoRNe. Did not like it. I do not get cable or satellite TV, so no TV for me. Internet TV is limited by what is available and the fact that my internet provider threatens to cut off my service for too much TV watching.

I have never watched Nurse Jackie. What is her position and where is its setting? These types are shows are better, to me, than some of the ones that are suppose to be funny.

I miss the 1960, 70, 80 and some of the 90 shows.

I have to say I love Nurse Jackie but I can't watch it anymore because we shut off the premium channels when my DH got laid off. As a nurse in recovery it was interesting watching my own story unfold. The first season put a human face on the nurse addict while still showing all her faults and indiscretions. I saw about half of the second season when Jackie's life started to fall apart. I would have liked to know how season 2 ended.

Peace and Namaste

Sounds like an interesting story line. Does it still come on and what network?

Nurse Jackie is on Showtime. If you want, you can watch it like I did, on the internet. Just search for "Nurse Jackie online" and you should be able to find it. I watched the entire first season online but haven't got to the second season.

I did find it online on Showtime. Will have to look at all of it later. The part where I left off, Jackie was in bed with the doctor.....

Oh my yes, Jessie. I used to rush home from school, as a teenager or younger, and watch Dark Shadows.
