Does the thought of your daughter looking up to socialite panty flashers keep you up at night?

Creating an outlet for bright and funny females is web series Smart Girls at the Party. Hosted by Amy Poehler (of Saturday Night Live fame), the short webisodes are filmed with a wink towards Inside the Actors Studio, but instead of celebrities, you get intelligent females, like 7-year-old skateboarder and feminist Ruby.

This is Girl Power we can get behind.

Cancelling cable for the summer saves us from reruns, but denies us those late-night guilty pleasures known as Legends of the Fall and Cruel Intentions.

Good thing GlobalTV.com is streaming those and other titles online all summer long. Free and with minimal commercials, there’s always seven films to choose from and they change over every two weeks.

Best part is, unlike cable, if you can’t wait till late to watch Can’t Hardly Wait (on this week’s roster), you don’t have to.
