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.
The premise of the show is something we have witnessed all too often… An elected official is "found out" by the media, and as he apologizes for cheating (that's a rather mild term for what this husband did) on his wife and children, the wife stands with him at the podium, with a Mona Lisa look on her face… You get the drift, no doubt… (***I have always thought that a cheating spouse not only cheats on their partner, but also on the children. The time he/she spends with his/her partner in the cheat, is time that he/she could have spent with his/her children… Now, should I get off of my shoebox?!?)
Julianna Margulies is excellent as the wife, Chris Noth is able to actually make me (almost!!!) like the cheating husband, I love Christine Barnaski in anything she is in, and the list of actors goes on and on.
If you haven't already seen an episode of The Good Wife… It's on CBS on Tuesday nights. Try it… You just might like it!

I love this show too. The cast is great especially with Julianna and Christine. Didn't you just love Martha? I never thought of her as Stephanie…I'll have to think on that one.
Do you watch Castle? They just ordered a full run for season 2.
Have a good day.
Hi Dru…
Do I watch Castle?!!!!! LOVE IT!!! I am so excited that the network has decided to run a full season. I didn't know that. Usually, when I find a show particularly good, it is cancelled. I don't know if that says something about me or the network high-ups!
(It's sort of like when I get in line at the grocery store… As soon as I do, the line is held-up by someone who has to get a pack of cigarettes from the locked-up cabinet, OR someone who needs a price check on an item, OR someone who could only find five of their desired six-item purchase…. The list goes on and on…)
Back to your comment >>> I'm delighted to find out that Castle has been picked up for the entire season!
