Nice Girls Talk

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.

Advertisers are constantly trying to come up with the next buzzworthy commercial to promote their product. Few actually hit it, most are just white noise, but now and then there’s a real stinker.

I’m a sucker for a feel-good holiday story. You know those Christmas-themed romance anthologies? Love ’em. Christmas mysteries? Sign me up. Special holiday episodes of my favorite shows? Yes! It should come as no surprise that my DVR works overtime this month, catching all the new cheeseball movies. I mean, where else can you see familiar faces, in between jobs, …

“Top 10” lists are all the rage these days, and I’m a fan of them. I read them all, and some of them are much like my own. The holiday season is upon us and this is my favorite time of the year. There’s nothing I like more during this season, than to curl up on my couch in my …
