Nice Girls Talk

Yesterday marked the first day back for Fall television. Of course, the shows that I watched last night (90210 and Melrose Place) are not on my list of top favorites, it provided a nice way to ease back into the mania for a full DVR and hours spent trying to catch up. Today marks the last day of one of …

Tonight is the start of the new fall season with the debut of Melrose Place on the CW and the returns of 90210 on the CW and Sons of Anarchy on FX. While none of these shows are of interest to me, there are a number of new and returning shows that I am eager to see over the next …

It’s Labor Day here in the United States, the unofficial end of summer and the beginning of the fall TV season. It used to be that summer was all about reruns and nothing new debuted until mid-September. Not anymore. Thanks to cable and reality TV, the year ’round TV schedule is here. I’ve enjoyed some really terrific shows this summer …

Last night, one of my friends invited me to attend a screening of Community with her at Los Angeles City College. After the pilot episode, NBC put on a nice question and answer session with a good portion of the cast and creator Don Harmon. Cast members present included: Gillian Jabobs, Joel McHale, Chevy Chase, Yvette Nicole Brown, Ken Jeong …

For decades the Nielsen ratings system has been the be all, end all when it comes to tracking what audiences are watching. Those privileged few “Nielsen families” (approximately 18,000 homes) have dictated rise and fall of thousands of shows during that time. Those days may be coming to an end, however. Fans of shows canceled for poor ratings have often …

On July 20, 1969, United States astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr. made history by being the first humans to land on the moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission. On that historic date, I was just a little over a year old (yes, I’m dating myself), living with my parents and my two older brothers in …

I know I’ve talked about the people that I’ve had the privilege of meeting from far and wide, but today’s a bit different with regards to my friends from online. One of my closest friends and I met on this day three years ago, and I need to celebrate that with all of you. In part, because without him, I …

As I’ve mentioned before, music is a big part of my life. As far back as I can remember music was always playing in my childhood home. It was either my brothers playing 70’s rock-n-roll on their bedroom stereo, my dad listening to country music in his basement workshop or my mom listening to church music in our kitchen (or …

Now that the insanity of The Critics’ Association is over, I’m happy to have had the pleasure to talk to Daniel the TV Addict and Jace of Televisionary, who were gracious hosts once I figured out what was going on (Thursday morning witnessed a few snafus at the hotel, from the Twitter DoS, to an entire circuit going out which …
