Nice Girls Talk

Getting Ready!

With TCAs underway this week, I’ve been abuzz with all of the news about upcoming shows. Glued to our Twitter followers, I’m slowly preparing myself for tomorrow’s Fox presentations. Now, after the Winter TCA for Fox, I’m anticipating some highs and lows (the schedule has me both excited and slightly worried about how to pass some time.) But, that’s what …

Lasting Friendships Through Televison

Where did your most treasured friendship form? In elementary school? At summer camp? In college? For me, my longest running friendship was formed in elementary school during the first week of first grade. My best friend for over 35 years now still lives in my small hometown near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her husband and 2 children. We don’t see each …

Burning Questions: Merlin, Leverage, The Closer, Etc.

I’m catching up on the TV I missed while getting ready for Comic Con, attending Comic Con, going to my grandfather’s funeral, recovering from Comic Con…my DVR was bursting with new episodes of shows like Merlin, Warehouse 13, Leverage, The Closer, Hung, True Blood, and Barefoot Contessa. Yes, Ina Garten is my hero, why do you ask? As I cozied …

The People That You Meet at Comic Con

The other Nice Girls have weighed in on their Comic Con experiences this year, so now it’s my turn. It’s always a celebration when you are among people who enjoy the same things you do; watch the same shows, and squee over the same talent as you. That’s the atmosphere at Comic Con – celebration. People come dressed in full …

Con Crud Returns!

Like Rueben, I managed to come back from Comic Con with some sort of malaise. But besides that, this Comic Con was a blast. Let it never be said that spending days with friends from near and far will be anything but fun. I was fortunate enough for one friend of mine from Florida to make it this year, plus …

Welcome Home From Comic Con

I arrived home from this year’s Comic Con on Sunday night, exhausted from 5 incredible days of programs (and a case of “concrud” – otherwise known as a head cold from the constant back-and-forth between the air conditioning of the buildings and the heat of San Diego), sharing fun experiences with friends and working my butt off taking notes for …

Comic Con 2009 Highlights (That Don’t Involve TV)

I’m on a plane right now as another Comic Con has come and gone. I’m tired, sore, and haven’t eaten a real meal in days. Ask anyone who’s been to Comic Con and they’ll tell you that’s how you know you had a good time. We have a lot of interviews and show-specific articles coming your way over the next …

The Busy Life of a Nice Girl

As everyone can see, I’ve had sort of a busy week for the site, but it’s been one where I can’t really get a handle on what to post this week before I leave for Comic Con. I originally wanted to post the random bits from going to see Ruby and the Rockits, but that got side-tracked when I had …

Heading Out for Comic Con

Bright and early tomorrow morning I (along with two good friends) will embark on a journey – dare I say a “trek” – to San Diego for the 2009 Comic Con. This is my annual ‘vacation’ every year; one that I look forward to with much anticipation and a little bit of dread too. My dread aside, this event always …

Why Don’t the Emmys Recognize Acting Ensembles?

Emmy nominations were announced last week, and several Nice Girls faves got the nod (holla Simon Baker!) in the midst of the same ol’ same ol’. While I groused about the lack of Emmy love for True Blood (3 technical noms) and Chuck (stunt nom), I started to wonder if we’d see more new faces at the Emmys if they …
