Talking Dollhouse

A little over a month ago, I had the chance to talk to some of the actors involved with Dollhouse, specifically Tahmoh Penikett and Harry Lennix. Sadly, I’ve been holding out on the transcripts until now, but with the show about to premiere, hopefully everyone can forgive me. Without further or do, there are the questions I asked each of …

Failing in 3D

Normally, I’m all for innovative TV watching, which should explain why I watch so much each year, but there’s been one example of “new” viewing that fell flat. NBC chose to air Monday’s Chuck in 3-D. Normally, I’d be all about the spy world being forced at me more than is normal, but the truth is that I didn’t enjoy …

Is the FCC Sleeping?

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 were fine for broadcast. As …

On the Draw of Vampires

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 from finishing Buffy the Vampire …

On the State of Cable Ratings

While sitting in the Fox TCA presentation, an executive from FX started to talk about the state of Cable Ratings and why the current Neilsen system doesn’t work with the way in which Cable operates. The point, as I’m sure that everyone is aware of, is that Neilsen doesn’t have a proper means to look at the total views of …

Not Again

In an article posted today by Variety, a SAG strike might be on the horizon. After the WGA strike last year, I’d really like to not have the industry fall one more time (not that I agree with the AMPTP stance, mind you.) All of the Nice Girls like television and movies (why would we blog about them?), but the …

Seven Facts about Louise

The other day Rae from Ramblings of a TV Whore tagged me in a meme that was floating around. The point is to post seven facts about yourself and have other people do that same. I don’t remember the last time I did this at my other blog, but I’ll try to keep these TV related, or about things we …

Rob Thomas News of Another Variety

My love for Veronica Mars has lead me to appreciate Rob Thomas’ wit more. While I, along with plenty of other women my age, adore Drive Me Crazy (which is also making the rounds on HBO right now), I’ve been looking forward to his remake of Cupid. However, I’m not sure if others have been aware of Party Down, which …

Is This a Cure-all?

If you listened to the radio show this week, you’ll all well know I’m not having a great week. But, I suppose, the one thing to make it better was all of the TV airing. In addition to all of the discussion of Gossip Girl, I was intrigued by last night’s Supernatural. Kripke and company are doing their very best …

Quality Time in the City of Angeles

The last week for this Nice Girl has been far too busy. I suppose that it’s an advantage to life in Los Angeles, but it’s nice to recap for everyone else. The Paley Center for Media (formally the Museum of Television and Radio) has numerous events throughout the year for members and nonmembers alike. Every Fall, the center’s two locations …
