Nice Girls Talk

Happy New Year Everyone! Did all of you have nice holidays with your family and/or friends? I sure hope each was just what you hoped they would be and that 2010 brings all of our readers nothing but the best. I can happily report that I brought the new year in with, well, not flair, but at least with some …

The final episode of Eastwick aired on ABC last week, overlooked with little promotion and an odd airdate. If my DVR hadn’t been programmed to grab it, I would have missed it, and it looks like only about 3.26 million other people noticed it. Terrible numbers for the end of what should have been at least a moderate hit and …

Tradition has it that you make resolutions at the beginning of each new year, marking goals for yourself and attempting to achieve them the best that you can. Since TV is such an important part of life for us here at NiceGirlsTV, it only makes sense to have resolutions that relate to our viewing options. But my column today is …

At this time of year families and friends gather to celebrate the holidays – whether it be Chanukah or Christmas (et al) – exchanging gifts and feasting on all their favorite meals. In years past my family would gather to watch my (at the time) little nieces and nephews open their gifts and share in our traditional Christmas meal; sometimes …

First off, to all the fine and fun people from New Media Strategies and Electric Artists. We’ve had so much fun throughout the year doing promos and giveaways and playing online …

After all of the holiday themed episodes last week, I figured now was as good a time as any to talk about some of my favorite episodes of TV from the 2000s that stand out to me. From this seasons’ crop: Community: Comparative Religion takes the idea of multi-centralism to a new level. As the study group prepares for their …

Every year there are shows that are held back by the networks, waiting to be aired during mid-season, which is typically during January and February. This year that is still the case, but the cable networks are also getting in on the action with some new shows as well. You can find out all those details in our Winter and …

Have you noticed how the end of the year warrants umpteen lists of the best this and worst that and most whatever? I’m a list-maker by nature, as the other Nice Girls can attest, so this way of recapping a year is one I can get behind. Besides, far be it from me to shirk tradition! Herewith, the 10 most …

Ah, the sounds of Christmas. You gotta love them! The tunes that run through your mind as you do your shopping or prepare your holiday cards. The songs playing on your radio as you decorate that tree. Perhaps you have favorites that you and your family sing together at your holiday gathering. Or maybe you are one of those who …

Over the decades since television was invented, creative people have been working on a winning TV formula. In other words, what kind of programming (be it comedy, drama, sci-fi, education or talk/variety) works best with the viewing audience. What will they tune in to each week (or in some cases daily) and keep coming back for more? In the early …
