I'm a huge fan of The Good Wife. Really, great great T.V. Plus it stars the yummy Josh Charles who I fell in love with in Dead Poet's Society (one of my favorite all time movies).
I have to admit, the premise turned me off at first. Politician (played by Chris Noth- another excellent reason to watch) cheats on his wife with prostitute, does a mea culpa to the press, with wifey looking on in supportive terse moment (Julianna Marguiles- who I have a girl crush on now thanks to the show). Politician gets arrested for misusing government funds (swears he's innocent! Yes, he shagged prostitute but he used his own money to do it. Can't anyone get anything right?) and gets thrown in jail. Long story short, instead of kicking Mr. Big and Horny to the curve, wifey stands by her man. I'll admit, it's probably not what I would do, but hey, life is complicated. Now wifey is the bread winner and working at big time law firm where her ex-college sweetheart (Yummy Josh Charles) is now her boss. Add in a fabulous supporting cast- Christine Baranski and the absolutely fabulous Archie Panjabi and it's the best hour on T.V. as far as I'm concerned. Oh, and in recent episodes Alan Cummings has come on board as a deliciously cynical political advisor. I can't wait to see what they have in store for his character.
Last Tuesday, the moment I've been waiting for all season long finally arrived. The kiss between Alicia and Will (Julianna and Josh, or wifey and boss). Yes, I guess you could say it was wrong. She's still married to Mr. Big and Horny, but hey, life is complicated.

Ooooooh! That was REALLY interesting to watch!! Thanks, Maria ;). I loved the multi-layered dynamics going on in this scene... I've only caught a couple of episodes of the show so far--enough to know that I want to get the whole first season DVDs when they come out!--but it's a far more compelling drama than I'd expected and I'm fascinated to find out what they're going to do with these characters.
And it's set in Chicago!
I have been waiting for that kiss all season! So glad it didn't disappoint. Love that they paused then she kissed him again.
Oh, darn. The video blocked by CBS for Canada.
In spite of having a girl-crush on Julianna Margoles since NYPD Blue... I didn't watch this show when it started. Now have heard so many good things, i'll need to get caught up at some point. Must be on demand...
And of course, I meant ER, not NYPD Blue... I had this sudden feeling she was the cop in the first season of NYPD Blue who had the affair with the David Caruso character and then informed on him... but it was Amy Brenneman. Ooops. Was that really 17 years ago????
Calila, Yes! The kiss did not disappoint. Not sure what's going to happen again with Mr. Big and Horny, but am dying to find out.
Maureen, this is an awesome show with a fantastic cast. I think you'll really like it. You had me there for a second on the NYPD Blue thing:)
