TV Drama Watch

The more I hear about the new series The Good Wife, the more I'm looking forward to its premiere. This spoiler from TV Guide tells us about the characters and a bit about what will set this show apart from others with similar premises.

Please give me some scoop on the new CBS show The Good Wife. — Karen

MATT: My advice to those anticipating this new drama? Don't let yourself get bogged down by the Canterbury's Law comparisons. Yes, Julianna Margulies is again playing a lawyer, but this show is a totally different animal, one filled with really nice tugs of the heartstrings. On top of that, the ensemble is sweet, from Chris Noth (as the good wife's imprisoned husband) to Titus Welliver (Deadwood, Lost), who has been promoted to recurring status as the political animal who replaces Noth as state's attorney.
