The Good Wife… One of My (New) Favorite Shows

Danna - cozy mystery list — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:10:47 +0000

I just watched a new show that I am following: The Good Wife. >>> Love it!

As if The Good Wife's regular cast isn't (to use the word from the title) "Good" enough!!! They brought in one of my very favorite actresses this past week: Martha Plimpton. I have always thought that she would have been the absolutely best actress to portray Stephanie Plum, the main sleuthing character of the wildly successful Janet Evanovich mystery book series.

It's At the Movies Again!

I have been watching At the Movies for years. (Yep… Years ago, when it aired on PBS!) I started watching it when Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert reviewed the current movies. Their discussions never ceased to entertain my husband and me. We were saddened by Gene Siskel's death. I always got the feeling that Siskel and Ebert respected and liked one another, even though they rarely agreed on a movie.

OK… You had to have guessed that I would be posting an entry about the new television season. No doubt, I will be posting several entries as the weeks go by…

YIKES!!! Isn't Agatha Christie COZY?!?!?

Good grief! Boy did I steer you all wrong… I posted two entries about the new PBS Agatha Christie season… along with the Ellen Byerrum shows, and YIKES!!! (The "YIKES!!!" should tell you enough if you don't want to go on reading… But, I am so "hot-under-the-collar" right now, that I HAVE to go on writing…)

I have recently mentioned (several times!) that my daughter is home for the summer. The two of us watch a television show together every morning… a "chick flick" type of show that we have not introduced to either my husband or son. Our favorite show is TNT's… The Closer.

New Cozy Mystery Shows Coming Soon!

Good news, Cozy Mystery lovers! A site reader (Thank you, Alfred!) just told me about some upcoming shows on PBS… So>>> mark your calendars!

PBS is calling this the "Six by Agatha" event. It all kicks off with two new Hercule Poirot episodes (Hercule Poirot Series X) at the end of June. Of course, we wouldn't want them with any other actor than David Suchet… And, lucky for us, he will be starring in them. Both of these Agatha Christie episodes are ninety minutes long:

Castle: New Show on Monday Nights, ABC

I just watched a new show called "Castle" and enjoyed it so much that I took a look at my Replay machine to see if they will be re-airing the pilot. The good news is that they are, on Saturday at 9:00 PM (our local Texas time). So if you are at all interested, you can check it out!

Hercule Poirot with David Suchet

All of you Hercule Poirot (Agatha Christie's Belgian private detective) fans are more than likely already aware of David Suchet's wonderful portrayal of the rather prim, always correct detective. For those of you very few people who have not yet experienced any of the Agatha Christie's Poirot delightful shows, you will be glad to know that you have many hours of entertainment to look forward to.

Firefly series…

This is another review of what I consider a truly delightful show that doesn't happen to be a mystery. (Of course, it's a mystery to me that it was cancelled after only one season… although I have a feeling that when a network decides to air the shows of a new series out of sequence, that can't help establish the show…)
