united states of tara The entertainment media (of which I am an unapologetic member) loves its trend stories, and one of the popular trend pieces a few years back was about how Showtime had passed HBO as the standard-bearer for quality programming on pay cable. HBO was in its fallow post-”Sopranos” period, while Showtime kept rolling out one attention-getting new series after another, from “Weeds” and “Dexter” through to “Nurse Jackie” and “United States of Tara,” which both begin their third seasons tonight at, respectively, 10 and 10:30.
