Nice Girls Talk

Ah, spring. When a young man’s fancy turns to love. And apparently so do the networks. The jolt of romance from the pilot episode of the new Cupid – how adorable were the Irish man and the reporter?!? – left me grinning. Which is good, because the Trevor/Claire dynamic isn’t working for me just yet. Yet, I find myself looking …

As I mentioned last week, I was traveling for work so wasn’t on the NGTV Radio show to talk TV with Louise and BethAnne. My return home on Sunday was greeted by a DVR packed full of shows and an overflowing inbox. Fortunately I was able to catch The Mentalist while on the road, and when I had the chance …

We Nice Girls have been around for a while now, and I feel like this is the point where I can share something without feeling shamed. No, it’s nothing horrible, just a basic fact that seems right so share: I rarely watch TV without the recommendation of my friends. Of my current list of TV shows (those still on the …

It’s been an interesting weekend. I spent most of Friday night-Sunday afternoon spring cleaning and painting, leaving me sore and exhausted. Then I came down with a mild case of food poisoning that turned my Sunday night-Monday morning into a less-than-enchanting time period. Fortunately, TV was there to soothe my aches, pains and nausea. Since subscribing to DirecTV in December, …

It’s no secret that Joss Whedon is a hero here at Nice Girls HQ. As if pimping Dollhouse for months prior to its debut wasn’t enough of a clue, we have a (possibly annoying) habit of gleeing over various Whedon alumni whenever we encounter them on the airwaves or in real life (see: Comic Con). So you’ll understand that I …

For the life of me, I don’t know how this information finally got to me, but it has turned an otherwise boring day right around. I’m pretty sure my love for for a former Veronica Mars cast member isn’t unknown here (if you listen to the radio shows, it makes sense) and today came news that Jason Dohring has been …

I know, last week I complained about not having any shows to watch, but this week happened and I realized the one good thing about hiatuses: time to rewatch old favorites, pick up new shows, or venture into the line outside of the boob tube. During the usual December/January hiatus, I finally sat down with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and …

Warning: Some speculation about Dollhouse ahead. I’ve been avoiding most spoilers (I know, that’s so unlike me), so you should be pretty safe here, but I felt a warning was the responsible thing to do. We’re three weeks into the latest Whedonverse product and I’m reading quite a few negative, or at least less enthused than they expected, reviews from …

If this were a normal Wednesday night in February, I’d be happily awaiting for every one of my shows in anticipation of what would be a great series of episodes. Instead, thanks for the digital conversion prospect, I’m spending my night hoping for at least one show to air so I can catch something new. With Sweeps having moved, the …

For the purposes of this column, I’m going to have to out myself as a full-on Lord of the Rings fan/groupie. I absolutely adored the film trilogy and was completely wrapped up in LOTR-mania from 2001-2004. I attended midnight screenings for FOTR and TTT; I attended Trilogy Tuesday to see FOTR and TTT extended editions on the big screen and …
