I caught a Nurse Jackie. Quite good, but I don't think I'll make special efforts to watch it regularly.

I like it. It has the kind of gallows humour which attracted me to M*A*S*H when the Beeb showed it without the laugh track.

Umm, no Al. This show is freakin awesome and one of the standouts for this year and the last few. Why? Well, it's not as good as BSG or The Wire, or any number of other "intellectual" shows. However, it's hilarious in places and just plain fun. Which quite frankly, makes it a guaranteed win for me in the current climate. When so many shows are about serious adult themes (I watch a lot of them and thoroughly enjoy them) this is breath of fresh air. The hint of Ryan Murphy is unmistakeable if you've ever seen Nip/Tuck and there's music for every taste. So yeah, if you hate song and dance - you **might** hate it. Aside from that, it's a great pick me up and hugely funny to boot. Recommended.

I agree. The thing is, it wasn't written as comedy, rather seeing the funny side of life in a tough environment. I think I found it rather sad in a way, which is why I probably won't watch it regularly. I get enough sad in my life as it is, and I want my comedy to make me guffaw and not go "hmmm". _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

Are you still watching Nip/Tuck? I keep thinking it's lost it's way then they introduce another random story line that gets me hooked. Christian with breast cancer? Quality! I did wonder wtf was going on when Rose Mcgowan suddenly appeared then realised they'd replaced Katee Sackhoff. They could've chosen an actress with same hair colour at least! _________________Still the official cheeky one

No probs. I gave the first episode a go on iPlayer and it's definitely quality but I'm more into my books and PS3 than TV at the moment, Hustle and QI being the only shows I'm really watching (and QI will end soon). _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Awwwwwwww @ news about his wife last night. Think I'm falling a little bit more in love every day. Get out of my head Vinnie! I will have to let go of you soon enough and my life will seem like an empty shell when you leave.

Oh you don't know the half of it lol. He was in my dream last night, but then so was my ex husband who was a plumber. Broken boiler on the brain methinks. _________________Still the official cheeky one

Why what's wrong with him? Good looking, sensitive, down-to-earth man who loves his wife? They're gold dust these days  _________________Still the official cheeky one

I haven't seen any of it, but I still hate it. E4 took Scrubs off to put BBLB on.
