Nurse Jackie

Nurse Jackie (Showtime, 2009-present) stars Edie Falco. It's a nifty series with Falco building on her previous work (The Sopranos, etc.). Anyone else seen this one? 

Looking back, the number of American TV shows with a woman protagonist has expanded over time. I remember reruns of Hazel (working as a house maid) from the 1960s, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Julia (Diahann Carroll). Lucille Ball, of course, before that. I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, The Flying Nun. Oh yeah, Gidget and The Patty Duke Show.

Today's Rune: Movement.

I've heard good things about it but haven't seen it. We don't get any of the movie channels
