Nice Girls Talk

Earlier this week Louise attended one of the six LA Times “The Envelope” events sponsored by the publication as a way for voting members to see shows and/or films that are being considered as nominees for awards season.  These events are now open to the public – but on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Thankfully, myself and a friend (along with …

Last December when I finally took the plunge and got DirecTV with DVR, I was excited about being able to record shows like Bones and Fringe and Chuck instead of trying to catch them online. Then, of course, there were all the added channels. I had basic cable before. And by basic, I mean BASIC. I had the broadcast netorks, …

If there’s one thing that we Angelinos love, it’s talking about famous people in expensive clothes. Which explains why four years ago, The Los Angeles Times started to run a site for awards season. Years later, the section, The Envelope has moved into a printed form, and the paper helps to put on events before each award season for the …

What does television mean to you? Maybe it’s just a square box or even a wall-mounted unit that you occasionally watch if there is a sports game on or a movie that you missed in the theatres. Perhaps it’s even something you use for entertainment from time to time when you can draw the family or friends around it – …

June is our anniversary month here at NiceGirlsTV.com, marking one year since we decided to launch a super-girly blog covering all the TV shows we like to watch. After a year of talking TV amongst ourselves, interviewing various actors and showrunners, applauding Nice Boys, etc., we find ourselves with a steadily growing hit counter and even more opportunities to talk …

I have been enjoying Bones this season and last, and I’ve been catching up with the first two seasons as they air on TNT. I love all the characters, my favorite being Hodgins. I talk with people about the show and I’ve even gotten some to watch it. So, I think it’s safe to say that I’m a fan. As …

The other day, after a very draining day at work, I took a nap. Knowing full well that I needed something on in the background so I’d wake up again, I looked around my room for something to put on in the background. There’s enough television shows sitting around to easily provide white noise, but somehow I decided to put …

This weekend is Memorial Day weekend. Wait, let me rephrase that: this weekend is when someone decided that it would be more convenient to celebrate Memorial Day, and give everyone a three-day holiday. Memorial Day is actually May 30th. All federal offices will be closed. There will be no mail delivered, no banks open, and flags will be flown at …

This week has finally come–the week where all of our shows are either doomed to the status of past favorite, kept on the shelf as a must see or we slowly fine that new show that will be the next big thing. Of course, just as the networks have been preparing for the presentations, fans have been rallying support in …

OK, confession time: sometimes I wish I were Amish. No TV. No phone. No electricity. Then I imagine life without the Internet and my ‘fridge, and I snap out of it. Still, there are times when I just want to unplug. A sunny afternoon spent in the hammock with a good book and a glass of iced tea…ah, bliss! The …
