After spending many years on ER, Julianna Margulies left life as a series regular 10 years ago. She went on to guest roles on shows like The Sopranos and returned to weekly television as the star of FOX’s Canterbury’s Law. The legal drama only lasted six episodes. She tried the genre again this season on CBS and has had much better luck.
The Good Wife revolves around the wife (Margulies) of a disgraced State Attorney (Chris Noth). She returns to work to rebuild her reputation and provide for her children. The series also stars Matt Czuchry, Archie Panjabi, Graham Phillips, Makenzie Vega, Mary Beth Peil, Josh Charles, and Christine Baranski.
The series has the plum spot on the schedule following the very successful NCIS: Los Angeles. Good Wife debuted to 13.71 million viewers and a 3.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic. Those numbers slipped a bit over the following weeks but have been rising again. The most reason installment attracted 13.70 million viewers and a 3.0 rating.
To no surprise, CBS has renewed Good Wife for season two. The network hasn’t specified an episode order but it’s expected to be a full season of 22-24 installments.
What do you think? Is Good Wife worth watching? Where would you like to see it go for season two?

Great suspence.
The Good Wife is fantastic. I love the characters and drama. I am hoping that it will continue for another season and the relationship with Alicia and Will continues to develop… Great legal drama as well
Superb show!! I am glad to see a show dealing with the issue of infidelity of marriage and the difficulties families have in dealing with the strain—should we stay or should we go??? Margolies is a lovely woman, but I enjoy the way she is dressed in an elegant, calm manner. Not too showy—just CLASS!!! I think GW has had several women on the show who may not fit into the category of totally beautiful, stunning women so Congrats on that….the rest of the world is full of women with character faces–not totally symmetrical, just everyday beauty. I really like… Read more »

The show is terrific and I am glad they renewed it. Great acting and writing.
I think The Good Wife is one of the best dramas on TV. The stories have been interesting, and the cast is fantastic. I especially love Klarinda.
This is excellent news! I love The Good Wife. Julianna Margulies is amazing in it and it really has an excellent cast. Kudos to Josh Charles as well, Alicia and Will are already my faves.
