Nurse Jackie 9:30 p.m., Showtime
The series began just this week, but Showtime has already renewed it for a second season. Edie Falco plays a New York City ER nurse who, like so many other Showtime characters, is leading a fractured life. A married mother of two, she's sleeping with - and getting drugs from - the hospital pharmacologist. Amusingly, that pharmacologist is played by Paul Schulze, who was Father Phil on "The Sopranos." Falco and Schulze are old friends who went to the same college, and they've appeared together many times, in "Laws of Gravity," "The Unbelievable Truth," "Layin' Low," and "Oz."
