Nice Girls Talk

No, this isn’t a post about Friday Night Lights and now much I love it–no questions asked no matter the number of tears shed by the end of the episode. Instead, this post is about how for a little while, I can’t focus on TV for too long each day without frying my brain function. Sadly, one part of my …

This past week I had the chance to attend two unique and fun events very much in line with the ‘celebration’ of Halloween. On Wednesday, I attended the Paley Center for Media’s look Inside the Writers’ Room of the fan favorite HBO series True Blood. You can see my full write-up on the panel itself at both True-Blood.net and SciFiTVZone.com …

Fox decided to pull Dollhouse from the schedule during November sweeps, choosing to air reruns of House in that timeslot instead. What does Fox see as a result? A 62% increase in ratings. With a rerun. (The rerun also trumped ratings for new episodes of Brothers and ‘Til Death, but I don’t watch them so I don’t really care.) I …

Every TV season, new shows premiere on the major networks; some are watched in droves by the viewing audience while others languish and disappear all too quickly. I think all of us – whether you are an avid TV viewer like us here at NiceGirlsTV or the occasional viewer – have had certain shows over the years that touched a …

My family went to the local amusement park on Saturday, descending on the place en masse. It was me, my mom, 2 brothers, 1 sister-in-law, and 9 nieces & nephews running around riding as many things as we could before the legs gave out. The adults’ legs; the kids were good to go for another 6 hours. Anyway, the park …

Friday night, while attending a screening of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog and season two of The Guild with friends, I did two things I’m not used to doing: I facilitated two different groups talking to people they’d missed before at other events. My friend Hollywood Jane has often been near Joss Whedon, but never talked to him, despite her love …

Every TV season new shows come and go – sometimes too quickly – while some returning shows fail to meet up to expectations of both the viewing audience and the powers that be at the networks. The reasons for these – shall we say – failures are varied, ranging from little to no publicity by their home network, extremely stiff …

I’ve missed writing a column for NGTV the past couple of weeks. (“I wouldn’t say I miss it, Bob.”) Not because I haven’t had anything to write about; quite the opposite, in fact, I have two columns started but didn’t have time to finish them before my self-imposed Monday at 5PM deadline, so they languish in “draft” status. I could …

I guess this is turning into a short series for Halloween! As I was thinking about the movies I love to watch during this season, I thought also about the songs that have crept up over the years, all having to do with Halloween. Some make me giggle and some make me want to get up and dance. So without …

The life of a TV fan in Los Angeles is never dull. It’s easy enough to spot an actor walking around town, but it’s equally as easy to see actors talking about their work at numerous other locales. For me the next few weeks are going pretty busy, with the added bonus of being really entertaining. Friday, the Egyptian Theatre …
