AUSTIN, Texas (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) September 18, 2008 -- Digital media company On Networks® (ON) announces an original series aimed at young girls called Smart Girls at the Party. The show is created by and stars actor/writer Amy Poehler, and friends Meredith Walker, former senior producer for Nickelodeons Nick News, head of talent for Saturday Night Live, and Amy Miles, recording artist and performer, host of PBS childrens show LOMAX: Hound of Music.
