Good Wife Wednesdays! Open Call.


Please come and join us as we watch "The Good Wife" each and every Wed at GPP starting September 28th. We are starting at the beginning of Season 2 on DVD as Season 3 gets DVR'ed.
"But I've never even heard of The Good Wife, What is it about?" 


Keeks answers that question after the jump.


me:  what is it about?
kylie:  well
mr big from sex and the city
is an elliot spitzer type character
its set in chicago (but films in greenpoint?)
season one starts post sex-scandal breaking
me:  oh and she sticks around
kylie:  he gets caught
there are photos of him smoking crack with a p-toot
but he maintains that he was set up
and spends season one proving his innocence from jail
he's a state's attorney in chicago
and she decided whether to stand by him or not
she gave up her promising law career when they had children
but when he goes to jail
she has to go back towork
so she calls up an old friend from georgetown who is a partner at his firm
me:  was he actually s-ing c?
kylie:  no it was p-shopped
his teenage son ends up proving it
with his youthful computer knowledge
so she begins to excel immediately at her fancy new law job
but everyone in town knows her as the victimized wife
so she spends season one trying to shake that association, and make a real name for herself as a gifted defense attorney
the partners are her firm are josh charles and christine baranski
josh charles is her old law school buddy
and well...he's been harboring a crush ever since georgetown
and spending all this time together while her marriage is on the
rocks...things are happening
feelings are growing
there's also a sassy young lady named khalinda, who works as a private investigator for the firm...and although she looks 42, she wears leather jackets and knee boots so you know she's young and hip and also tough
kylie:  she also may be a lesbian....they havent told us the whole story yet, but there was definitely some sexual tension and maybe some history with that FBI lady
kylie:  mid-season, alan cummings shows up to take care of patching up mr big's image, and he has got a LOT of rules
me:  this is very thorough
kylie:  mr big does indeed prove his innocence, and after a slight bout of house arrest, decides to re-enter politics, take down his saboteur, the evil glen childs, and get his old job back
the season ends with nurse hathaway, waiting in the wings as her newly exonerated husband is holding his big press conference
just before she is expected to join him on stage in a show of support and solidarity, her phone rings, and it is josh charles, calling to confess his love
me:  rut roh!
kylie:  she practically tells him that she is in no position to act on romance alone, she needs to hear his plan. what's the plan, josh charles? call me back when you have a plan.
as she hangs up she sees her husband holding out his hand for her from behind the podium
she takes one step towards him and her phone rings again. and its josh charles
BLACK SCREEN
season one over
me:  whaaaaaaaaat!
what happens next!
we have got to post this recap on toops.

It doesn't have cartoon characters wearing hats made of asbestos to cover their oozing, bloody tumors who kill cops in fire-y car crashes, if that's what you mean.
