Nice Girls Talk

This weekend will be my first con. No, I am not confessing to a new life of crime (although after this past month, I don’t think anyone would blame me). No, I am talking about going to my first comic book convention, the SC Comicon. I am no stranger to attending events. With a career in the media (radio, magazine …

Every year I look forward to several TV-related events. The first is the annual Paley Fest that is sponsored by the Paley Center for Media (formerly the Museum of Television and Radio). For the last few years that event has been held at the Dolby Theatre (where the Oscar’s are held) in the heart of Hollywood. The second event is …

“Stitchers” returns tonight on Freeform, and while there are several reasons you should be watching this show, the three leading ladies are well worth a closeup. Of course, “Stitchers” centers around Kirsten Clark (Emma Ishta), however she wouldn’t be in the position she’s in without the help of Maggie (Salli Richardson-Whitfield), who actually drafted her for the Stitchers project, and …

This year will mark my sixth straight year attending Wonder Con; but this time around – unlike those past years – the annual pop culture event will be held in downtown Los Angeles instead of Anaheim. [It should be noted that the convention originated in San Francisco before being moved to Anaheim.] Regardless of the location, I will heading to …

In March we celebrate influential women in history, recognizing their contributions to the world. The more we see these women, the more their accomplishments become known and inspire. A cameo on a primetime television show is a great way to expose viewers to the possibilities of real life success. Here are three Very Important Women (VIW) who guest starred in …

You may have noticed by now, I’m kind of a numbers junkie. I like numbers, they help me make sense of things. I love to find random facts and see how they fit into my life, albeit, sometimes it’s in an off-the-wall way, sometimes in a very spot on way. So it should come as no surprise to you that …

Back in 2009, ABC premiered a new supernatural series called Eastwick based on the John Updike novel “The Witches of Eastwick”, which – as many know – was adapted into a film back in 1987 that starred Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer. The small screen version that only lasted for one season starred Paul Gross (of Due …

Despite the sunshine outside, this week has been a bit foggy for me. It’s been one week. One week since I finished watching 111 episodes of Blue Bloods. I started watching the show the last weekend of January and I finished the five seasons available on Hulu last Friday night (March 4). That’s  4,773 minutes of Blue Bloods in FIVE …

I don’t claim to be an expert on Jane Austen, the person, but anyone who has read all of her writings multiple times can draw the obvious conclusions about her. Basically, Jane was a woman ahead of her time, who felt keenly the restraints of being a woman in the late 1700’s. She acknowledged those limitations on women often through …

With spring less than two weeks away (how is it almost April already?!), it seemed like a good time to look ahead (just a little) to the TV shows that will be returning for new seasons as well as some new made-for-TV movies that will be fun to watch. Here is what I am looking forward to seeing in April: …
