Nice Girls Talk

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, …

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 …

Now, with the start of the fall season just a week away (can you believe it is …
