Nice Girls Talk

True Blood, Merlin, Lipstick Jungle, Sex and the City, Vampire Diaries. These are just a few of the recent television shows that were based on books, and have become popular shows we love(d) to watch. Often, we watch these shows and then we want to go read the books. Sometimes we are disappointed that the books are not exactly  like …

One of my favorite parts about most events around Los Angeles centers on the fact that the creative teams stick around to talk if you show interest in what they’re talking about. Panels are great, but personal conversations add something else to the experience all together. Monday night, I went with one friend to see today’s second season premiere of …

Emmy nominations will be announced very soon and if you follow the process you know that more times than not the actors or series that really deserve to be honored rarely make the cut. As is the norm with most TV critics, they make up their own lists of who they believe should be nominated. With that being said, here …

You know those ads for movies and TV shows that show quotes from critics? A couple of years ago I noticed that some of the, shall we say, less than critically acclaimed films coming out were using quotes from places like IMDb and blogs that aren’t known for hard-hitting critiques.

This is the post you should have had last week, if not for my scrambled brain (the summer does horrible things to me.) Over a week and a half ago, one of my first Forum friends was in Los Angeles. One day, along with a surrogate Nice Girl J, we had lunch and started planning a trip down to San …

Whether you only listen to music on occasion, have it playing in the car on long trips or, like me, can’t really get through the day without it playing (nearly) all the time, there are certain songs that mean something to you, remind you of a special time in your life or move you to not only dance your socks …

There comes a time in every Nice Girl’s life when she has to figure out her priorities and make some tough decisions. That happened for us this weekend when we decided to put our radio show on hiatus indefinitely. While we enjoy the opportunity to get together and talk TV for an hour each week, the amount of work that …

Yet again, it’s Wednesday night/Thursday morning, and I haven’t posted my column this week. I had every intention of posting about a trip I went on last weekend, and I’ll still save it for next week. But, life (the kind that makes for excellent fodder for a sitcom of my life) happened. This episode would be all about how I …

On Wednesday, June 24, NiceGirlsTV.com was invited to a private press screening of FOX’s 2-hour movie Virtuality at the Hitchcock Theatre on the Universal Studios lot in Studio City. Louise and I had the opportunity of covering this event as a team; and since it was my first interview and screening for NGTV, I just had to write about how …

No, really. Nia Vardalos asked what we were up to on Twitter, and I Tweeted that I was having a hard time coming up with a topic for my column, so she gave me an idea.  I’m not really going to write about gophers feeling fat, but the issue of body image on TV is one that provokes a lot …
