Nice Girls Talk

I came to Ghost Whisperer when the first season was almost over. I liked it immediately. I cry with Melinda in each and every episode. I’ve enjoyed playing “where have I seen that face before?” as actors we love, from other various television shows, wander in and out of an episode. It’s been wonderful to watch Melinda accept and learn …

In my previous blogs about music, I’ve asked our readers about artists who should be featured in TV shows and discussed the types of music that have influenced me throughout my life. This time around I’m somewhat combining the two ideas together to highlight great songs for which I learned through some of my favorite TV shows, made-for-TV movies as …

Every now and then I get sucked into You Tube and stand (OK, sit) in awe of the creativity on display there. Yeah, a lot of the amateur stuff is junk, but some of it is genius. And I’m going to share a few vids with you today because I just used all of my brain power writing up today’s …

One of my favorite things about the wide-spread use of the internet is how much different people from different parts of the world can bond over a show. Of course, the next best part is when all of the people you’ve met can actually meet in person. I’ve had more than one opportunity to meet my friends from various places …

As Louise wrote last week, she attended nearly all of the preview parties held at the Paley Center for Media, screening episodes from the major networks prior to their airing on their regular nights. I, too, had the chance to attend three of the five preview parties: those for NBC, CBS and ABC. For NBC’s night, most of the cast …

As I was watching last week’s premiere of The Vampire Diaries, I got to thinking about all the good looking men that are on television today playing villains. I felt that a convenient list might be a good idea to serve as a reminder that although they make us a tad warm under the collar, they are playing really bad …

Now that The Paley Center’s Fall Preview Parties have ended here in Los Angeles, I can finally think through the four nights’ worth of information. Unlike the last two years, I found myself unwilling to sit through shows that hadn’t yet captured my attention (sorry CBS!), but I also found myself really impressed by a series of shows I wouldn’t …

Last week I got together with some of my local friends (who are also fans of the defunct CBS series Moonlight) for a special event: the Hollywood premiere of the movie Whiteout, which co-stars Alex O’Loughlin (the former star of Moonlight). Oh yeah, Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht and Tom Skerritt also star in the movie. The premiere was held at …

No, not Maryann, I’m talking about Sookie. Was anyone expecting that proposal at the end of last night’s True Blood season finale? It was very romantic. Bill and Sookie had just come through yet another life-threatening situation. Bon Temps was back to relative normalcy, at least for a few hours. Bill took Sookie out on a proper date for dinner …

I didn’t read L.J. Smith’s Vampire Diaries book series. I’m watching the show having only a general knowledge of what to expect from listening to the buzz, following the Tweets, and watching interviews with the actors and Kevin Williamson. For the most part, I liked it. What I Liked: The tone of tonight’s pilot episode is one of sadness, loss, …
