Well, I survived yet another Comic Con! As usual (at least over the past 11 years anyway) I traveled to San Diego for the annual Comic Con that was held last week, getting back to Los Angeles on Sunday night. Over the course of the of those five days, I – along with over 130,000 other nerds, pop culture fans …

Next Monday, July 16, the science fiction television series Eureka will air its series finale on Syfy, bringing to an end a popular show after five fantastic seasons. Given that the end is so near, it only seemed right to pay a special tribute to the show that changed the face of television for the better. Back on July 18, …

I think I’ve mentioned before that I grew up in a small, rural town in Northeastern Pennsylvania a time or two in the past. In fact, I know I wrote about the celebratory carnival that would come to visit my hometown every year in July to honor the landing of the Apollo shuttle on the moon. Why would my hometown …

Then my husband reminded me of the reasons people watched in the first place, and why they kept watching for 14 seasons. The beautiful women – …

With Father’s Day just around the corner, TV is gearing up for various salutes to dear ole dad and I thought it only made sense to focus on some of the best dads on TV. But the big problem was deciding how far back in TV history to travel to pick the best dads. After all there was Jim Anderson …

Continuing where we left off last week, summer television is here and there are so many new and returning shows plus new made-for-TV movies from which to choose over the next few months that viewers need a guide as to what to watch. Thankfully, NiceGirlsTV has a summer guide right here to help you out; and I am continuing with …

While summer doesn’t technically begin until June 20, the summer TV season will actually start in full force next week, bringing TV viewers plenty of programming to enjoy. Where once summer was a wasteland of repeats and burn-off episodes of TV shows that the networks just didn’t deem “good enough” for airing during the fall TV season, networks now provide …

Next week we here in America will celebrate Memorial Day, a federally recognized holiday that originated as “Decoration Day” after the Civil War to commemorate fallen Union soldiers.
