May

2010

We welcome our new Nice Boy of the Week, Joss Whedon! The Nice Girls have long been fans of Joss’s from way back, so the vote for his induction was unanimous. To write about Joss would mean a 20-part series and is better done by others, but we can tell you the reasons we heart [...]

3 Signs It’s Time To Stop Watching That Show

Mar

2010

Recently I was chatting with a fellow fan of a certain hour-long show which boasts a segment of the fanbase who are incredibly disgruntled. Thousands and thousands of words have been written expressing their displeasure about a certain plot development, extending to constant negativity about the show as a whole. Other fans, like the two [...]

Favorite Songs from TV and Movies

In my previous blogs about music, I’ve asked our readers about artists who should be featured in TV shows and discussed the types of music that have influenced me throughout my life. This time around I’m somewhat combining the two ideas together to highlight great songs for which I learned through some of my favorite [...]

The Standby

The other day, after a very draining day at work, I took a nap. Knowing full well that I needed something on in the background so I’d wake up again, I looked around my room for something to put on in the background. There’s enough television shows sitting around to easily provide white noise, but [...]

What I Should Have Been Posting About

2009

I should have had a post last week about my weekend filled with Supernatural convention or Sit Down, Shut Up, but then post-con depression took over (as well as a cold I’m still trying to kick nearly two months later) and I didn’t. Finally, I caught up with How I Met Your Mother and I [...]

2009

It’s no secret that Joss Whedon is a hero here at Nice Girls HQ. As if pimping Dollhouse for months prior to its debut wasn’t enough of a clue, we have a (possibly annoying) habit of gleeing over various Whedon alumni whenever we encounter them on the airwaves or in real life (see: Comic Con).

Is the FCC Sleeping?

Jan

2009

Yesterday morning I sat in my room to watch Trust Me‘s premiere episode. I enjoy basic cable shows on occasion (I’m a pretty causal USA viewer, but Mad Men has me), but I came away at the end of the episode wondering if something had happened to the FCC that they decided two small pieces [...]

On the Draw of Vampires

2009

Had anyone told me three years ago that I’d have fallen for a trio of shows about vampires, I’d had laughed in their face and scoffed. However, it is now a fact that now I’ve worked my way through most of the recent television shows on vampires. As it stands now, I’m twenty-eight episodes away [...]
