Julianna Margulies as The Good Wife in a Great new CBS series

Based on the title of the new CBS series "The Good Wife", I was expecting a family drama. However, it turns out to really be more of a legal/courtroom television show with some family drama mixed in. With the exceptional cast put together on "The Good Wife", they could be doing any type of show and I would watch.

Julianna Marglies plays Alicia, a wife and mother, who must go back to work as a defense attorney after her high-profiled husband (Chris Noth) lands in jail due to a scandal of the Eliot Spitzer type. In addition to taking on a job she hasn't done in 13 years, Alicia must deal with the pain and humiliation her husband has brought upon her.

The old friend of Alicia's and law firm partner that hired her is played by Josh Charles, who I have been a big fan of ever since Sports Night. The firm's top litigator and Alicia's somewhat mentor, is played fabulously by the fabulous Christine Baranski. Need I say more about her. Fans of the Gilmore Girls will be very happy to see Matt Czuchry, aka Logan, as Alicia's rival as the firm's new junior associate. Archie Panjabi plays a personal investigator at the firm.

The Good Wife will air on Tuesday nights this fall on CBS at 10pm. The premiere is set for Septemeber 22, 2009. This is a series definitely worth checking out.

I love Julianna, but wasn't gonna check this show out. Now however, as I read all the great reviews of the pilot, I'm gonna have to put it on my list!

I have to tell you, out of all the new shows coming this fall, the only billboards up in NYC are for this show! I mean, whether you're getting on a subway, walking in Times Sq. or waiting on a bus bench, they're posters for this show everywhere!

That must be good news though

I'm not a huge fan of Julianna & I wasn't going to watch at first either, but I'll give it a whirl.
