I can’t believe how old Adam Ferrera is. I thought there was no way he could be playing a love interest for Edie, but he’s 46. Wow, seems like just yesterday he was on Caroline in the City.

Cannot wait for Nurse Jackie to come back. And, I hope that we get to see 12 or 13 episodes next season instead of only the 10 we got in season 4.

I agree, Fly. Never liked Grey’s Crap Anatomy, in fact I was only able to suffer through one episode. McPlease, I cannot believe this show is still on the air after 9 seasons!

Ahhhh!!!! I seriously CANNOT wait for Season 5! I actually just stared watching Nurse Jackie last year. I watched season 3 “On Demand”, and was instantly hooked….pun intended! Season 4 was absolutely incredible. The acting and story’s lines can’t be beat. And I identify with nurse Jackie, being in recovery myself. I absolutely love this show…bravo!

A friend suggested I watch Nurse Jackie, got hooked after first episode of season 1. Watched the rest of the 4 seasons in 3 days. I CAN’T WAIT. The last episode when Cruz’s son dies blew me away. Beside Jackie, I love Zoey.

- Totally agree, Trrevor. Zoey is my most favourite character after Jackie!
