Nice Girls Talk

Had anyone told me three years ago that I’d have fallen for a trio of shows about vampires, I’d had laughed in their face and scoffed. However, it is now a fact that now I’ve worked my way through most of the recent television shows on vampires. As it stands now, I’m twenty-eight episodes away from finishing Buffy the Vampire …

When the networks started making noise about “52-week seasons” and “rerun-free scheduling” a couple of years ago, I thought that sounded great. No more 3-month hiatus during summer. No more endless stretch of reruns in December and January. Now that the networks are putting those plans into practice, is it such a great idea? Yes and no. The Good: The …

You heard me gush about The Beast on our radio broadcast yesterday. I recommended this show because I liked it, and I still like it, even after watching it again last night. I love Patrick Swayze in this role. He’s tough and troubled, and a damn good FBI agent. Travis Fimmell shines as Ellis Dove. I just can’t say enough …

While sitting in the Fox TCA presentation, an executive from FX started to talk about the state of Cable Ratings and why the current Neilsen system doesn’t work with the way in which Cable operates. The point, as I’m sure that everyone is aware of, is that Neilsen doesn’t have a proper means to look at the total views of …

In this day and age where every aspect of a celebrity’s life is under constant surveillance and photos of celebs at the gas station are considered news, it’s shocking when something as big as a celeb wedding goes undetected. For 10 days. And they play siblings on TV. And yet, Dexter‘s Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter did just that, …

I read a MediaPost article yesterday about NBC head honcho Jeff Zucker’s comments at an advertising conference where he suggested that NBC might trim back the number hours they broadcast in order to compete. Citing examples like FOX which only airs 15 hours of original programming and the CW which only airs 10 (or are we back up to 12 …

Yes, I know, it’s a cheesy title for an article, but it’s the best I can do this close to the holidays. The point is, I just had to chat about two television premieres I watched last night. I’ll begin with The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice. This is the third installment of The Librarian series begun back …

As I lay in bed, griping about being sick while my 4-year-old nephew is here, I ran across this video of John Krasinski singing a duet of ‘Winter Wonderland’ with Aimee Mann. Now that’ll put me in a better mood! John Krasinski sings ‘Winter Wonderland’ with Aimee Mann And now back to surfing for Christmas videos while the nephew builds …

In an article posted today by Variety, a SAG strike might be on the horizon. After the WGA strike last year, I’d really like to not have the industry fall one more time (not that I agree with the AMPTP stance, mind you.) All of the Nice Girls like television and movies (why would we blog about them?), but the …

As I was watching The Mentalist last night, some of the guest stars really had me wracking my brains to figure out where I’d seen them before. It looks like we weren’t the only ones; our tracking software shows that several people have visited NGTV today looking for that same information. Because we’re nothing if not helpful (and nice!), here’s …
