Edie Falco, the woman who played the wife of Tony Soprano on The Sopranos, is back with a brand-new television series on Showtime called Nurse Jackie which debuts on Monday, June 8, 2009 @ 10:30PM EST. In the show, Edie plays a Nurse named Jackie who dances around lots of red tape at a hospital she works at in New York City. It sounds pretty interesting and the preview above certainly makes me want to tune in to see what the show is about.

But a part of me is probably just excited for me to see Edie Falco back on TV again in a major role. She’s been on TV since The Sopranos, but I can’t remember any role she’s had since that was nearly as big. This should be good.
