The new series, THE GOOD WIFE, starring former ER star Julianna Margulies, has success written all over it. It's easily her best performance since ER. And the storyline is excellent as well. It likely will become a Tuesday night favorite for many fans.
The story relates around a wife who is attempting to hold her family together after a major political scandal sends her husband to jail. The storyline of how she deals with this betrayal and scandal. Her husband is played by Chris Noth.
The only real concern that I personally have about this new series is that both Chris Noth and Julianna Margulies both have an established reputation for quitting shows. Neither seem to stay with a project for very long. If this show becomes a hit like it should, will one of them get the "wanderlust" once again. When you have a reputation as a "quitter", that's a tough image to beat. But for now just enjoy the show. It's one of the best new entries.
THE GOOD WIFE debuts at 10PM on CBS. It will be interesting to see how it fares against the popular Jay Leno program on NBC.

Your analysis of Chris Noth... (Below threshold)1. Posted by N | September 22, 2009 6:13 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Your analysis of Chris Noth being a quitter is totally off the mark. Chris stayed on Sex and the City for the entire life of the show's 6 seasons, plus the two movies. He left Law & Order and Law & Order: Criminal Intent, as did most every other cast member, because Dick Wolf, the producer, intentionally set conditions that would encourage them to leave. On Law & Order there is not one single actor from the original cast. Veteran actors George Dzundza lasted one season, Paul Sorvino less than 2 seasons. Chris was on the show 5 seasons.

If Julianna Margulies wasn't the lead actress in this series, I might give it a shot. Since she is, I won't be tuning in. Couldn't stand her in ER.
