Spoiler for The Good Wife
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.

The Good Wife Preview
CBS has a new drama that will premiere on September 22nd and it looks like it may have all the makings of a hit. The series, The Good Wife stars ER veteran Julianna Margulies in a show about the wife of a corrupt politician who has to return to practicing law after her husband is jailed.
This is a very relevant story line these days since it seems like we see another political figure resign in disgrace very week as their long-suffering spouse stands next to them while they admit their shame. Margulies is a wonderful actress and if the writing is good, this will surely be a hit with her at the helm. Here's the preview clip for the series:
