Nice Girls Talk

As an avid couch potato, it is hard to say these words: there are some TV favorites I have never watched. Phew, that was hard! Okay, maybe you think that’s silly; but when you are as avid a TV viewer as me, admitting you didn’t get on the bandwagon of a particular well-done, but in most cases, highly overlooked show, …

Last week I had the chance to attend the Paley Center’s salute to the 100th episode of the CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother. As a non-watcher of TV comedies, this event might seem like an odd event for me to attend; but as a long-time fan of Alyson Hannigan (dating back, obviously, to her days on Buffy, the …

During my lovely 10-day Christmas break, all the illnesses I avoided during the autumn attacked me at once. Fevers, chills, headaches, sore throat, back aches. I even lost my voice for 3 days, which, let me tell you, made traveling to Chicago for a brief vacay super fun. My mom and my 10-year-old niece were with me, both novices at …

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 …

Since my column falls on Fridays, this will be my last post until the New Year. I couldn’t let this day pass without sending out wishes to certain people. 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 …
