I was also thinking about all the things I’m thankful for this year, including good television. Nice Girl Rueben posted many of the shows that I too am thankful for.

As the ‘most mature’ of the Nice Girls here, my holiday television memories are much different than the other girls. For one thing, there were only six network channels: ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, WGN and UHF/VHF, which was only watchable with a very good antenna on your roof.

To this day, it reminds us that even when others ... Read More »
Ah, Thanksgiving! Turkey, cranberries, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pies. The smells that go through my mother’s house at this time of year should be bottled and sold in Hallmark shops. At Thanksgiving, we gather with family and friends, laugh, play games, watch a little football, and no matter how bad a year has been, we somehow manage to think of many ... Read More »
At this time of year everyone typically gives thanks for the important things in their lives. We here at NiceGirlsTV are no different, but we do have a slight slant to the things for which we are thankful.
