'The Good Wife' Is in Fire!

after a bit of a slump at the beginning of season 4 that started to recover in the latter half of the season 'the good wife' has come back swinging and regains the title of the best drama on tv 2013.

the law firm is blown to bits, relationships are in turmoil and alicia is at the top of her game. the first five episodes of season 5 have been remarkable. it should resurface at the emmy's next time around. as should juliaana margulies the best actress currently on a drama series. 

and josh charles has never been better than in this episode 5 where spit-fire dialogue bounced off the walls while on it's competition over at showtime the only thing bouncing off the walls (still) was the bi-polar lead actress.

TV Season in Review: 'The Good Wife'

i believe 'the good wife' is network's best tv drama. sure it's sophmore year had some rough times but season 3 rebounded with hurricane force. it more than refound it's footing. it still showcases the brilliant julianna margulies who's character alicia struggles with success, motherhood and most importantly personal integrity. she does so flawlessly. the show also boasts one of the best casts on tv, it has simply the best roster of guest roles that 'fit' in and are not there for 'show'.

i like 'homeland' and (the generally unlikeable) claire danes but neither hold a candle to 'the good wife' and ms margulies no matter what award seasons say. i can only hope for more of this great series. if you are not watching you are missing great writing, acting and direction. shame on you.

it is my #1 show right now. those 'pretty little liars' come in a close second. but they are both so different are they not? i know they are so different but so are my tastes.so placing them near each other is not a stretch. it's just different shows for different tv watching needs.

'the good wife' season 3 gets an A.

Sunday Sweet Sunday is Coming

5 of my faves return for a new season this sunday

night  and i keep my fingers crossed for a sunday newbie. abc's adding '666 park avenue' on sunday night with 'once upon a time' and the moving 'revenge' seems a good idea. i hate that 'revenge' and 'the good wife' are up against each other but....i dvr 'the good wife' because who the hell knows when football will end on any given sunday night? just add recording time!

anyway here is sunday on abc:

 i wish cbs would send this back to a night that is not forever delayed by football or even worse golf.

i still love 'the good wife' and julianna margulies. it also boasts one of the best casts on the flat screens.

 

and then there is 'homeland' also returning on sunday. gratefully we can schedule this one at will to get it out of the sunday traffic jam.

all in all sunday's are looking tv good.
