Tuesday, October 4, 2010: The Good Wife

Tuesday, October 4, 2010: The Good Wife

Just when I thought that I couldn't love this show any more than I already did, they went and added Scott Porter to the cast. Between one of my favorite Friday Night Lights alums being a new investigator who seems to get under Kalinda's skin and Gilmore Girls' Matt Czuchry getting to play a real rival to Alicia this season, I'm a very happy camper. Throw in Alan Cumming getting to manipulate people to make Chris Noth's politician husband not look like a total asshole and the very charming Michael Ealy (yes, I am the person who watched Sleeper Cell) as the head of the recently merged law firm, and this season might even be better than the really solid first season.

In tonight's episode Alicia and Czuchry's Cary really go head to head during a murder case, and that's pretty awesome. I know we're supposed to root for Alicia and Will to get together, but there's something about the chemistry between these two that really attracts me. Not that I necessarily want them to hook up -- I'd far rather watch them at each other's throats -- but there is a very fine line between love and hate. Also, Titus Welliver is going after Peter and trying to destroy his campaign. Well, that shouldn't be too hard. And Lou Dobbs is on... if you care.

The new episode airs tonight at 10 PM on CBS. I guarantee it is more interesting than an episode of Parenthood.

So, I guess I was the second person to watch Sleeper Cell. I love this show. But I really love Michael Ealy.

This is one of the best shows on TV right now, in my opinion. Fantastic writing, intriguing plots, great acting (especially Julianna Margulies and Archie Punjabi) and actually assumes the audience has got half a brain, which is not something you find on network TV that often. I wish TWOP would recap it!

@Julia, shows that know what they're doing are much less fun to recap, and read about.

Loved loved loved Sleeper Cell. I'm glad Michael Ealy is joining the show even for a short time. Not wild about Porter's acting in the season premiere but the character getting Kalinda exposed is enough to love for me to overlook that.

I second the request for recaps - this show is fun, intense AND good...definitely better than many of the other shows TWoP recaps. Plus - it seems like you guys like it. Can't the show at least get its own legit forum??
