Do you like Nancy Grace?

I swear that just about everyone I know hates this woman. I must be a very strange one, because I've always liked her. DH can't stand her and wants me to turn off the TV whenever I have her on. DD doesn't like her and thinks I'm nuts for liking such a "mean woman". I used to watch her on Court TV and saw a repeat tonight on CNN where she was discussing a case of a TX man who was found guilty of killing his eight month pregnant wife. I just like some of the questions that she asks...I think she really has some b@lls! If you read about her past, you'll know why she's an advocate for victims. That I admire. If you don't like her, why? DH thinks she is one of the most obnoxious people he's ever seen. Just curious as to what everyone thinks... ~Lisa

I watch her all the time. She returns on Monday 01/07/08 after having her twins. I think she is a great advocate for victims.

I enjoy the show. Some of the questions they ask family members are silly but I guess that is what we want" Can you walk us through your emotions when you saw you dead family member laying on the floor?" Duh, I don't know, I guess I was upset!! Give me a break! Overall I have a lot of respect for her. She has brought a lot of important attention to some sad cases.

I will be watching Monday night!

I love watching Nancy Grace on CourtTV, now TRUtv channel. She's bright, not condescending, quick to respond and tactful. She also adds sensitivity when the situation requires. I have missed her since she's been on maternity leave.

I can't stand her and will change the channel. Her look is harsh , her voice is grating, and she tries too hard to be sensational. Repeats herself over and over. Stereotypical female bitch. I guess that's about it.

She's dreadful. She's not ballsy, she's bitchy and isn't interested in the truth, she's interested in ratings. She is one of the most unpleasant people I've ever seen on t.v. I love it when they mock her on Boston Legal, because they are dead-on.

I like to watch her, and I think her own past is incredible. She can be unrelentless, but to be good at what she does, she's probably had to learn to be that way. Somehow, when a woman acts tough and arrogant, it comes across much worse than when a man does it.

Sometimes when she's listening to new information, you can see her whole face change - it reminds me of a hawk when someone is coming along to challeng it - the prickly look - you just can see her getting her own response ready. But I like that!!

In my mind there's a world of difference between Nancy Grace and Hilary Clinton. But don't ask me to explain it.

I like Nancy. She asks hard questions, usually questions that no one else has the balls to ask. I do agree with the above poster that if she was a male, she probably would be viewed much differently by some! I also think that her past probably helped form her into the person she is now. She has has to face crime and death first hand, and has fought very hard to seek punishment for those who break the law...

I'd start with Nancy Grace not giving a rat's ass about the facts. In fact, she steamrolls right them, since she's not remotely interested in anything but ratings.

I cant watch her for long. There is something about her voice and the way she says stuff. Also, I cant stand when people talk/yell over each other, then I cant hear what either of them are saying.

Oh and like the previous poster the shallow part of me, cant get past her hair.

I agree with this. I have honestly never watched her for more than 10 minutes. I can't LOOK at her...gives me the creeps and her voice....AGGGGGGHHHHH. From what I've read about her she tries to be sensational but personally, I can't say I've seen her do it but it's kind of hard to not believe that she is from all I have heard

I like her. I can see why she is such an advocate for victims considering her past. She's actually not afraid to ask questions and be upfront when she interviews people.

Funny I was just thinking the opposite side of the coin. Do the people who don't like Hilary Clinton like Nancy Grace?

Her voice! I just can't take her voice......

I did give her some credit for her appearance on Boston Legal when she got beat up .....

I really like her because she doesn't play around when asking the hard questions. Then again, I like Dr Laura, also and not many people like her. There is no sugar-coating from Nancy Grace or Dr Laura. Dh doesn't like the way either comes across but usually ends up agreeing with the message.

I think she's entertaining to watch.....If I flip thru the channels and she's on, and it interests me, I'll watch her, if not, I move on, no big deal. I never really paid attention to her hair, voice, whatever. I just take her for what she is, an entertainer now. Oh, and a brand new Mom of twins, I heard.

Yeah, and apparently being the mom of those twins is some big cause for drama. Drama queen.

It means they were showing some clip on TV about some upcoming show where viewers will hear from the new mom of twins and how she almost didn't make it (or something like that, i don't really remember, but it was some kind of drumming up the suspense and drama commercial) Poking around the internet, I think it has something to do with blood clot complications more common in woman giving birth over 40 and she's going to make a story out of it. Law is a carnival, giving birth is a carnival.

Well, I know Nancy had to be hospitalized later after they were born because of a blood clot. Having twins is different than having just one baby. They usually come early and usually aren't as healthy at first as a full-term baby. Since Nancy is a celebrity, I guess it would be cause to tell the viewers about it. I know I'd like to know about it.

Hey, to each each their own. I'd like to hear about the subject too, just not the way that she presents things. Like I said, I don't like her and I don't like her style of journalism and law.

JMO.

Okay, Nancy grace is someone who I always wondered about. When I have watched her, I always get the feeling she is putting on for the camera. She seems fake and overly dramatic. You can put me on the list of ones who don't care for her!

I agree! Sensationalistic and completely full of crapola! Grace is much nastier, though. Once upon a time, decades ago, Rivera was a real journalist. Not Grace.

This horrible woman was even badmouthing Kevin Federline last night for taking custody of his kids. Hello, Nancy, would you want your kids with a woman acting like Britney is these days? Stupid shrew.

If you can't stand to watch her and she's so stupid and hateful, why were you watching her?

Maybe she wasn't watching but read a news article that contained a quote from Nancy Grace, or maybe was flipping channels and just caught a snippet.

I mean--I don't have to watch the Debates to know what the candidates said! It's always replayed, reported, printed, etc. into the ground.

To assume that Truble sat down and watched the Nancy Grace's whole show, is just that--and assumption.

And sometimes, even when we think something is "bad" we will get caught up in it because of the topic at hand, and sometimes it's like a car wreck--you drive by and can't help but to look at all the chaos and destruction. Lots of TV shows are like that--you're flipping through and get hung up on the chaos and destruction. I never sat out to watch the Anna Nicole show years ago--but occasionnally I did, BECAUSE she was a train wreck even then!

edited to add: I can take Nancy Grace or leave her...sometimes, I agree w/ what she says, others I don't. I do think, however that she is a "tabloid" type reporter. With the knowledge she presumably has, I think she could do a far better service by being less "sensational" in her shows.

Ah, thanks for wondering. I was flipping through the channels looking for something to watch and caught about 15 seconds of her crap, long enough to hear her nasty comments about Kevin Federline.

As Marilyn said, never assume, because you know what that does.

I've never seen her at all. She looks like the DA from L & O: SVU to me. Is she still on? I thought I heard she was cancelled.
