Best Television Shows

Summer’s coming to an end, and so too are most of the cable series that kept us entertained between the regular network TV seasons. Here are the highlights of season finales this week:

“Nurse Jackie” (Monday, 10:30 p.m., Showtime)
In Monday’s season ender, Jackie’s juggling of her job, pill-providing lover Eddie, and now not-so-secret family comes to a head. The tonal problems of this series, which vacillated a little too clumsily between drama and comedy, kept it from being at the top of Mama’s must-watch list. But you have to admit: Edie Falco’s frank, stripped-down performance dispelled all memories of Carmela and make her a shoo-in for another lead actress Emmy nomination next year…it’s just a question of which category.
