A Little of This and Some of That

By  | 

It’s almost a comedy at this stage, but for the last two years around the Paley Festival, I’m sick. It’s a sad excuse, but those recaps have been delayed for the sake of feeling like a reason person.

With the time at home, I’ve been sleeping while listening to Veronica Mars (never a bad combination, let me say but the prospect of dreaming of how killed Lilly Kane when I already know the answer is slightly disturbing), and slowing catching up on television.

For example, this week’s Castle featured three guest stars who reminded me of a good laugh, some family angst if there ever was family angst and an old love. Firstly, there was Kieko Agena, who I mostly remember as Lane from Gilmore Girl. After that, Devon Gummersall who I still remember as the dorky guy from My So Called Life.

As I’m preparing myself for the Glee event at PaleyFest on Saturday, I also realized that the Murphy project has something in common with TNT’s Southland: a character name. This week’s episode featured a doctor named Sandy Ryerson, who also happens to be the pot-peddling former show choir director at McKinley High (the two different characters have nothing else in common, thank goodness.)

With that, this Nice Girl is off to work on those recaps from last week. I can get them done today, I’m sure.

Roz lives in the Los Angeles area, and has been a long time California girl. Despite her better judgment, she enjoys shows about the shallow sides of her home city, but will also find time to watch iZombie, Jane the Virgin, and much more. With a love of history, she also watches anything that is grounded in real life, including Victoria and black-ish. Having worked with children, she also follows shows she knows they watch (reminding her of those days of yore for her in the process). Contact her at roz@nicegirlstv.com.
