Ditto about April and not March start time.

Again, thank you.

When this show first came out, it seemed like House with a nurse, which is why I didn't watch. If anyone who's watched would like to comment on that or that premise and feel of the show, I'd be curious.

[lostdragonfound]

Well, I feel that there's more personal drama, than medical drama in Nurse Jackie. House (at least for the years I watched...I didn't finish) felt like it had more medical drama than personal stuff. But it's been a while since I've watched House.

Jackie does have an abrasive personality. There's her personal drama stuff (husband and two daughters), work drama, and the friendships/work relationships she has with other people as well as the addiction aspect.

It is a both a bit comedy and a bit drama. It's only a half hour long...which is kind of odd considering that a lot of the time it seems more on the end of drama and there really aren't a lot of half hour drama shows that I can think of.

What part of it seeming like House turned you off from the premise?

Thanks; that's helpful.

It was the drug-addicted, abrasive personality medical professional concept that reminded me of House. But it does sound quite different in execution.
