First up is a series starring award-winner Julianna Margulies, whom I fell in love with in the early years of ER. Like any good plot, The Good Wife begins with scandal, and Julianna Margulies (playing Alicia Florrick) has to figure out how to pick up the pieces after her husband Peter (played by Sex & the City’s Chris Noth) is arrested for involvement in a lurid sex & corruption scandal. Alicia was top of her law school class at Georgetown, and returns to practicing law after 13 years. The show is co-produced by brothers Ridley Scott & Tony Scott (who co-produce Numb3rs, another show I’ve recently discovered and have been catching up on – gotta love nerds and using math or science to do something fun!)

The Good Wife premieres on September 22 on CBS and airs Tuesdays at 10pm.

Will you watch The Good Wife? Any other shows that you’re looking forward to?
