Nancy Drew

Ok, so I was watching tv the other day (of course) and a teaser for the Nancy Drew MOVIE came on! I got soooo excited... I almost died... of course, none of the other sisters home even knew who Nancy Drew was, so my excitement was for nothing.

So... I was wondering... who here is a ND fan? Who's planning on watching the movie on Sunday?

Also, the movie has a greek tie-in... here's the excerpt from TV Guide:
Based on Carolyn Keene's beloved teen sleuth, this update sends Nancy and her faithful sidekicks Bess and George (Jill Ritchie, Lauren Birkell) off to River Heights University, where she tackles the mystery of a football star's drug-induced coma. Did his premed sorority princess fiancée (Sabine Singh) sack him? Or is a school official covering up a scandal? It's a twisty tale that stays true to the spirit of the classic character, while giving her a modern makeover.

The movie stars the girl from one of my other favorite "little kid" movies on Disney, "Model Behavior" and she was in the Lifetime movie last night, "HEart of a Stranger"!~

How excited am I?!?!?!

That's why nancy looked so familiar!! I lvoed nancy Drew when i was young. My mom gave me all the Nancy Drew books she had owned as a child when i was 8, and to this day i occasionally pick them up and read them. my favorite was the Scarlet Slipper Mystery, followed by that book that had the Tiwsted Candles in the title (i can't remember the exact name)

Gosh I probably owned every Nancy Drew book that was published... sadly, that was a LONG time ago, and I don't remember where they are now.

Strange they are making a movie out of it.. but it might turn out interesting.

Oh my gosh, I LOVED Nancy Drew! Thanks for the tip on the movie - I'll have to watch it. (Don't have a clue about tv these days!) I can't wait for my daughter to start reading them!

I adored Nancy Drew growing up -- my mom and my aunt had a bunch of the old hardcover books and I read all of them.

I didn't know that they were making a movie, though.

I thought it was on regular TV.

*edited to correct, I just checked my local listing, and it's this Sunday on ABC at 7pm. The notes says "The teenage sleuth investigates after a football player at her university slips into a coma."*

I loved reading Nancy Drew books. Also the Hardy Boys were cool. I say Nancy Drew was better because it was only her to solve the mysteries while Hardy Boys has 2.

I loved Nancy too. I liked the old series and the "new series" in the 80s and 90s. I loved the very first one, the one with the clock.

I know EXACTLY where all my ND books are, and loved them all, with Clue in the Crumbling Wall and Strange Message in the Parchment being my faves. By "modern makeover", I hope that means there will be no dwelling on Bess's pudginess or George's perpetually slender appearance, and that maybe, just maybe, Ned and Nancy might kiss on the MOUTH. That constant cheek kissing never rang true with me, even when I was 10! I thought they were secretly going to at LEAST Second Base when Carson and Carolyn Keene weren't looking.

And I hope the pre-med sorority woman isn't too princessy!!

I guess I'm the only one who liked "Sign of the Twisted Candle".

<GGG>

I read all of the books too--did anyone else have the ND Cookbook? I still use some of those recipes, especially the chocolate waffles.

When i was in high school, I passed on the collection to a girl in my church who loved ND but didn't have the $ to buy all of the books. She loved them every bit as much as I did if not more.

My other half will have to just deal when I watch this.
(Hey, if he can have the guys in for a "private screening" of "Dude, Where's My Car?", I can hog the TV for Nancy Drew!)
