"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!
