Nice Girls Talk

In conjunction with my column from last week in which I saluted the fun faces of summer TV, this week I wanted to take the time to honor the great couples who have graced our TV screens over the summer. As I mentioned last week, we can all easily identify the shows for which we loved to watch over the …

As summer TV comes to a quick close with the fall TV season officially starting one week from today, I felt now was the appropriate time to salute the terrific characters that have graced our TV screens over the last few months. I know each of us can easily identify what have been our favorite shows of the summer – …

Here is the conclusion of my three-part article series called “Getting Ready for Fall TV”: Reminders: Each chart shows the full schedule for each night of the week for the major networks with the new shows highlighted in red (and in the case of Friday night’s schedule the new shows are in light gray).

With that thought in mind, I wanted to take the time to salute the shows that have entertained all of us …

For the majority of last week through this past weekend I – along with 130,000 of my closest (euphemistically speaking) genre-loving friends – were in San Diego for the annual salute to all things pop culture: Comic Con The big event started out with arriving in San Diego, getting some much needed sustenance and settling into the hotel.
