This isn’t their first voyage into …

Nice Girls in History: Dorothy Arzner

Nice Girls in History

I’m going to step out of the box a little for this essay. Normally, Nice Girls focuses on television, but the woman in the spotlight today got her start before the days of TV, so she breaks the rules. This is pretty unusual for her, as it seemed like [easyazon-link asin=”0253208963″]Dorothy Arzner[/easyazon-link] knew exactly how to play by the rules—and how …

MERLIN: In Which There Are Many Hugs

Merlin - Herald 7

Episode: A Herald of a New Age.  Original air-date: 03/09/2012…so…yeah…turns out there was a new episode of Merlin two weeks ago. For some reason, this crazy blogger had it in her head that there wasn’t. I’m not entirely sure why I thought that, but we’re going to blame Fringe. And the fact that it’s not back on the air yet. …

BODY OF PROOF: Home Invasion (of Privacy)

Promo for Body of Proof

This Body of Proof episode features a TV classic: the perfect family that isn’t so perfect after all. Sixteen-year-old Greg Lux, at the movies, wants to call and see if he can stay out later on his awesome date, but is apprehensive about waking his parents. Some people might see this as foreshadowing for what happens later (controlling dad), but …

MERLIN: Morgana Needs a Hotness Intervention

Lancelot (Santiago Cabrera) and Gwen in his empty tent

This episode is a time for love and bringing back the ex-boyfriend to stir up trouble just as a happy couple gets together, finally. In the States, we call this phenomenon “Sweeps,” but since Merlin is a British show, I think it’s called melodrama. The ex-boyfriend is question is the ever-dreamy Lancelot du Lac, and boy, am I happy to …

BODY OF PROOF: Uncovering a Mummy Might Cost You Your Job

Promo for Body of Proof

I promised myself I was going to get caught up on anything and everything…and then Leap Day happened. Either way, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Today I’m going to review the episode of Body of Proof that aired, erm, sometime not this week. I’ve been a very bad recapper. Anyway, you would think that I should love …

MERLIN: In Which My Knights Fight Over a Woman That’s Not Me, And I Am Sad

Colin Morgan as Merlin

I swear, you throw one pretty face into the mix and it’s all testosterone and infighting and, oh yeah, evil vicious monsters.  Ain’t it always the way, ladies?  At least my Band of Hot Knights has an excuse this week: the pretty face they’re feuding over also has the benefit of being, you know, magical.  Also an evil snake demon.  But that’s getting way …

BODY OF PROOF: Shut the Freezer Door!

Kate and Megan examine the body

So this recap is over a week late. I know a lot of people don’t watch Body of Proof, which makes me sad because it’s a well-acted hour of TV that includes snappy dressers and snappier comebacks. The fact that this recap is so late is pretty much inexcusable. Does that mean I don’t have an excuse? Of course not. …

BODY OF PROOF: Like Glee, But With Corpses

Okay, so it’s not corpses singing “The Candyman Can,” but I promise you, this video will knock your socks off. Geoffrey Arend, Wendell Middlebrooks, Peter Dunlop, Dana Delany, John Caroll Lynch, and Jeri Ryan have answered a prayer I never knew I had: they joined together in song. And IT IS DELIGHTFUL. Feast your eyes and your ears to this …

MERLIN: Dragons and Tchotchkes and Knights, Oh My.

The Hot Knights of the Round Table

So BethAnne’s DVR may have been sabotaged this week. I claim no responsibility, even though I’m trying to overtake the Nice Girls group from the inside out. So I’m not saying I drove up to Chicago, sneaked into her home, set the DVR to record O’s back-to-back marathon of the Best of The Bachelor, nearly got caught by the Chicago …
