As anticipated, HBO's Saturday broadcast of You Don't Know Jack was phenomenal - Al Pacino was brilliant and the film was so well done, it's definitely getting Emmy nominations and probably some wins. Watch it on reruns or OnDemand. Similarly, "Breaking Bad" continues to be one of the best programs on television - last night's episode was suspenseful and intense from start to finish. Be sure to check out our interview with series star Dean Norris, who plays DEA agent Hank Schrader, who provides some great perspective on his character and the series. more ›

There's a lot of new TV on tonight with plenty of premieres and finales. Foremost among the premieres are Showtime's "Nurse Jackie" (see today's interviews w/Edie Falco, Peter Facinelli, etc.) and "The United States of Tara" - both half-hour dramedies with more of an emphasis on drama than comedy. With "Nurse Jackie" (10pm) you have the incomparable multi-Emmy winning Edie Falco supported by a more than capable cast with Peter Facinelli in a role much better suited to him than you will ever see in the Twilight film series. We've seen most of season 2 and it inspired us to go back and re-watch the season 1 DVDs, it is that good. more ›

Finally Shark Week is back on Discovery - and it's about time because other than Shark Week and IFC's "Bollywood Hero" (on Thursday), this is one dead week of TV. --- This week the TCA gave it's annual "Program of the Year" award to "Battlestar Galactica", with HBO scoring more awards than any other network. [Hey TCA, ain't it about time you offered LAist membership? We write more about TV than a lot of your members do.] more ›
