Topic: The Good Wife
The Good Wife is a drama starring Emmy Award winner Julianna Margulies as a wife and mother who must assume full responsibility for her family and re-enter the workforce after her husband's very public sex and political corruption scandal lands him in jail. Another new show that IMO got off to a good start. "To be born English is to win the lottery of life." Cecil Rhodes 1853-1902
"The man was right." Maccool111 1955-20**
Re: The Good WifeI really liked the first episode.
Re: The Good WifeIt was fine 
Re: The Good WifeSomehow the story of the underdog winning against all odds through modesty and hard work never gets old. Also it doesn't hurt that the show has a lot of hot chicks in it "We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go."

Re: The Good WifeAnd we have a winner - The Good Wife is turning out to be quite the great show. Riveting stories, sprawling backstory, and great acting all around. Add to that at least one LMAO moment with a judge a week: lawyer: "so by the time you reached the station, he had had time to concoct a story?" or judge: "don't 'with all due respect' me, i'm not your high school football coach. having said that ms. <opposing council>, 'inadvertent' my ass. <to the defense> how long will you need to interview the missing witnesses?" Also, the show gets the Emmy Rossum Seal of Approval "We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go."

Re: The Good WifeOh yeah, the judge was great
Re: The Good WifeGood show but where are the hot chicks? "To be born English is to win the lottery of life." Cecil Rhodes 1853-1902

Well, in episode one they showed the assistant Alicia and Cary were sharing and she was smokin'. Only we haven't seen her since then and in the last episode they were looking for a replacement ... Then there's of course the in-house investigator, who's pretty hot. And lastly Alicia herself, in a MILF kind of way "We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go."

Re: The Good WifeI recently watched episodes 1-5 back to back. I was pleasantly surprised. I very good show! It is now on my list to watch every week which is good because so many other new and old shows have turned to crap.
Re: The Good WifeIs this the same judge that said "you have three days/but your honor .../now you got two. want to try out for one?":D I'm happy that Margulies found herself a good show

Nope, this was the very first judge Felicia went "against." This episode crossed a threshold for me the first time. I loved the moments with her husband and how the ultimate solution at the end was actually damaging to his plans - and that she was okay with it. But it seems the show is very much going down the cliched road of "anything Felicia touches turns to gold" - she has only innocent clients, there is always a last-minute rescue (witness or piece of evidence) that secures truth's victory, etc. Unless they balance it out with her not getting the job at the end of the 6 months, it's going to get trite ... I thought that in today's post-Practice and Boston Legal world we were beyond "all clients are innocent." True, one could argue that The Practice was the exact opposite on the scale with all clients being dirty and guilty and Boston Legal, well, that was just plain silly in all it did. But still, I wish they would have some cases where they defend somebody who actually did it and they get them off. "We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go."

Re: The Good WifeI think it's just a matter of time when she'll have a client who is actually guilty or not able to prove innocence.
Re: The Good WifeNo new ep?
Re: The Good WifeNope. Next air date appears to be December 15, 2009
Re: The Good WifeVery good episode, I'm still glad, tha Margulies found her place in TV world after ER.
Re: The Good WifeAgree, very good episode. Even though I am not liking Kalinda's behavior one bit ... "We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go."

Re: The Good WifeNice trick. From the beginning I also thought like everyone else "ok, he did it and he'll go free". And after the plot development, I thought it even more and then "bam". (edit: actually, now I'm confused, if he really did it or not). Thumbs up.
Re: The Good WifeBest. Episode (of the Good Wife). Ever.
Re: The Good WifeConsistently good. "To be born English is to win the lottery of life." Cecil Rhodes 1853-1902

Re: The Good WifeGood Wife was the best "public broadcast" TV show this season. Simply amazing. I loved the finale, except the cliched last scene. The amount of joy I feel when Alan Cumming's Eli Gold is on screen cannot be described - the quiet bad-assness and flippant quotes coming from him make an already awesome show twice as good. Can't wait for the next season! "We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go."

Re: The Good WifeI'm so happy it's back Holy crap, this was such a good season opener. Really, 10/10.
Re: The Good WifeFull ack. "We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go."

Re: The Good WifeThe car scene

It was well-written, but the direction, music, and editing made it something special "We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go."

Re: The Good WifeIt reminded me of Tarantino, the way it silently started as a radio and then was louder and louder. Posts: 1 to 25 of 108Forums - Next Episode → TV Show Discussions → The Good Wife |
