Toni Collette: TV Guide News

Personality Plus: Showtime Pledges More United States of Tara | Today's News: Our Take | 2/10/2009

Showtime's United States of Tara (Sundays, 10 pm/ET) is returning for a second season.

At least one of the show's writers had her fingers crossed for a Season 2 — and not just because she likes her job. "We really had a hard time putting everything we wanted to do [with the series] in 12 episodes — and that's not always the case!" Alexa Junge told TVGuide.com at the series' outset. "[Tara's] got a good story to tell, and we're just getting rolling here."

Showtime Sneak Peeks: Edie Falco and Toni Collette | Today's News: Our Take | 7/19/2008
Breaking news! Edie Falco is an awesome actress. This reporter learned this — definitely not exclusively — when he saw a sneak peek at Falco's new half-hour Showtime dramedy (tentatively titled Nurse Jackie) on Friday. Falco plays a complicated nurse in an inner-city hospital. "What do you call a nurse with a back problem?" she asks in the preview. (Pause.) "Unemployed." As a result, the wisecracking, potty-mouthed, maybe-promiscuous Nurse Jackie also has a bit of a painkiller problem. It looks very promising.Ditto for Toni Collette, who plays a suburban mom who suffers from multiple-personality disorder on United States of Tara. Here's what makes this show interesting to me: Tara's family (including husband John Corbett) is aware of her illness, tolerates it and even knows and has relationships with each of her personalities. Weird, right? Wait until you meet them. My particular favorite is "T," and I'm guessing she'll be yours too.Neither show has a solid premiere date y... read more

John Corbett Allies with United States of Tara | Today's News: Our Take | 3/19/2008
Sex and the City alum John Corbett has signed on to star opposite Toni Collette in The United States of Tara, the Showtime comedy pilot featuring Little Miss Sunshine's mom as a woman battling multiple personality disorder. Corbett, says the Reporter, will play Tara's husband, Max, "a ruggedly handsome contractor who... tries to read as much as he can about his wife's condition." In the meantime, I reckon, he gets the thrill of having three-ways, minus the usual complications. read more
