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.

A Little Show from Altadena

In a very small room in the back of a coffee shop, The Uke Box Heroes performed last night. Comprised of Miracle Laurie (formerly of Dollhouse) and her fiancé Christopher May, the duo played mostly covers, with a few of their own songs. By the end of the show, one thing crossed my mind about where I’d want to see …

Create Your Own

No apologies this time for my lack of posting—none at all—and for that I’ll work on something different to the normal blogs around here. I was going to post some abbreviated reactions, like Melissa did, but that’s not fresh or creative at this point and so I won’t bother to try and tell you about all of the shows I’m …

Fox’s Winter TCA

Fox’s day at The Critics’ Association winter press tour found itself in an interesting position: being the day after NBC’s presentation and the kerfuffle of late night. By the end of the day, however, Fox had created some news of its own, and left many questions about some of its upcoming programs. Bones With Bones well into its fifth season, …

Holiday Cheer

After all of the holiday themed episodes last week, I figured now was as good a time as any to talk about some of my favorite episodes of TV from the 2000s that stand out to me. From this seasons’ crop: Community: Comparative Religion takes the idea of multi-centralism to a new level. As the study group prepares for their …

To Each and Everyone

I have been woefully derelict at posting here these last few weeks, and for that I apologize. Work has been in the way of all my TV watching (as evidenced by the fact that I’m only now watching last week’s Fringe, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving tomorrow, I’ll share what I’m thankful for in the TV world. Even after …

Oh Lord, It Brings Me Down

No, this isn’t a post about Friday Night Lights and now much I love it–no questions asked no matter the number of tears shed by the end of the episode. Instead, this post is about how for a little while, I can’t focus on TV for too long each day without frying my brain function. Sadly, one part of my …

Helping Put People Together

Friday night, while attending a screening of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog and season two of The Guild with friends, I did two things I’m not used to doing: I facilitated two different groups talking to people they’d missed before at other events. My friend Hollywood Jane has often been near Joss Whedon, but never talked to him, despite her love …

TV Around LA

The life of a TV fan in Los Angeles is never dull. It’s easy enough to spot an actor walking around town, but it’s equally as easy to see actors talking about their work at numerous other locales. For me the next few weeks are going pretty busy, with the added bonus of being really entertaining. Friday, the Egyptian Theatre …

A Woman’s Take on Mad Men

With it’s third season more than half complete, it seems like I should talk about Mad Men, which is one of the shows I love, but manage to not talk about here. I’ve been watching the show, at the urging of another friend, since the start of the second season (having mainlined all of season one via On Demand.) As …

Dollhouse Stars Drop Clues for Second Season

With Dollhouse being one of those shows that keeps most stories under wraps, the Critics’ Association party in August was a chance to try to garner some clues for the show’s second season. Carefully worded questions, and a few cocktails, yielded a few useful pieces of information about what’s in store for viewers as we re-enter the Dollhouse. Fran Kranz, …
