“Stitchers” returns tonight on Freeform, and while there are several reasons you should be watching this show, the three leading ladies are well worth a closeup. Of course, “Stitchers” centers around Kirsten Clark (Emma Ishta), however she wouldn’t be in the position she’s in without the help of Maggie (Salli Richardson-Whitfield), who actually drafted her for the Stitchers project, and …

I don’t claim to be an expert on Jane Austen, the person, but anyone who has read all of her writings multiple times can draw the obvious conclusions about her. Basically, Jane was a woman ahead of her time, who felt keenly the restraints of being a woman in the late 1700’s. She acknowledged those limitations on women often through …

The next episode of Pretty Little Liars, “Shadow Play” (8/7c/ABC Family) is filmed in black and white for a noir feel, as Spencer tries to work out her mystery in a dream. Ever since I heard they were doing this episode I couldn’t wait to see how it would look. Judging by these photos, the costume and set designers did …

TNT will premiere its newly resurrected soaper, Dallas, tonight beginning at 9/8c. I was curious to know why, after more than 20 years in the vault, would we even care to watch it again. Then my husband reminded me of the reasons people watched in the first place, and why they kept watching for 14 seasons. The beautiful women – …

Last night CBS aired the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which has become so much more than just a fashion show, over the years. The highlights were the Superheroine segment, the Aquatic segment, the steampunk-y “I Put a Spell on You” segment and Club Pink, which is always a whole lot of fun. CBS scored the night in ratings as …

We are attempting a new series of articles, loosely titled Words & Music. Each week, we will highlight a musician or author’s work that has caught our eye. Beginning with Music, I want to focus on a young singer/songwriter, Jemma Griffiths, aka, Jem. My daughter brought Jem to my attention when she heard her song, 24, in the film Ultraviolet. …

Melissa & Joey is my new favorite, half-hour, sitcom. I’ve always loved those shows that made you laugh and relax on a week night. Friends, The Cosby Show, Cheers, Coach, Frasier; I miss them all. When I had my second daughter, it was the first time I nursed, so I was often awake in the middle of the night when …

NiceGirlsTV is all about television, I know, but music is becoming more and more a part of the shows we love to watch. In the last couple of years, my taste in music has changed drastically. I’ve gone from strictly country to more pop and indie artists. Also, I’m a product of the 70’s acid rock, so I find myself …

Sunday night, July 11, brings a new episode of Leverage called The Double Blind Job. In a time when everyone wants to see their favorite tv characters pair up on the show, Leverage certainly will not escape the office betting pools. First, we had Nate and Sophie, who appeared to have a past that for whatever reason, didn’t pan out. …

Since my column falls on Fridays, this will be my last post until the New Year. I couldn’t let this day pass without sending out wishes to certain people. First off, to all the fine and fun people from New Media Strategies and Electric Artists. We’ve had so much fun throughout the year doing promos and giveaways and playing online …
