Starring Edie Falco, Showtime's "Nurse Jackie" stands out as arguably the best medical drama on television, because the premium cable network allows writers and producers plenty of latitude for developing all of Jackie's passions"”the quality of her patients' care, the unbearable arrogance of vaguely sociopathic physicians, and the delicious relief of good orgasms and Oxycontin. "Nurse Jackie," both the character and the show, have some issues: The character suffers excruciating pain from a bad back and therefore has developed an addiction to painkillers. Yes, you have seen this dangerous dilemma recently on both "House" and "Southland," where the admirable characters continue doing their wonderworks despite their addictions. "Nurse Jackie," the show, suffers a subtle but unmistakable identity crisis, suggesting opportunities for some of the most brilliant black humor known to American medical drama; but, like a pensive and pretentious nineteen-year-old, it insists on taking itself much too seriously. One critic aptly observes, "'Nurse Jackie' doesn't look like the average network medical drama, but it does follow the formula of many premium cable shows, taking a knowing and at times dark, sardonic look at the classic themes of love, life and work." The critic, however, forgets to mention that nowhere does "sardonic" appear as a synonym for either "funny" or "engaging."

By some miracle, everybody in America knows all about "30 Rock," and everybody loves Tina Fey, the show's creator and star, but relatively few viewers tune-in every week. During its first season, "30 Rock" toted-up a record twenty-two Emmy nominations, but its ratings ranked 102nd of 142 primetime shows. NBC stayed with the project on the assumption that Fey's popularity and the intense critical buzz eventually would translate to ratings; and the gamble paid off as viewership steadily rose over the comedy's first six seasons. Based on Fey's experiences as head writer for "Saturday Night Live," the show satirizes life behind the scenes of a network comedy, trapping co-star Alec Baldwin in corporate intrigues as the writers and actors endure the trials and tribulations of producing a live weekly broadcast. Strong characters and brilliant badinage distinguish "30 Rock" from the standard sitcom fare, and the thirteen-member ensemble cast puts the plausibility in improbably characters.

Reilly, Will Ferrell, Alan Thicke, and Zach Galifianakis showing up as guests and plenty of satirical humor and special effects with editing tricks included this show is one to definitely catch whenever possible.

Wareheim and Heidecker's previous offering to television, Tom Goes to the Mayor, provides several of the comedy skits as well as repeat characters borrowed from their original show. A news channel correspondent, played by John C. Reilly, and "Weird Al" Yankovic, who's gravelly voice add humor to skits like the "Uncle Muscles Hour" and it's all done in fun"¦ truly hilarious!
