Whoops, I forgot

stonebenderOne show that I didn't have a lot of hope for that is worth checking out is The Good Wife. Its is really another lawyer show, but Juliana Margulies plays the wife of a politician who got caught with a prostitute and may have participated in other kinds of misconduct. It starts with the now almost routine press conference with the politician admitting "minor" indiscretions. While the good wife stands quietly in support beside her husband.
I didn't expect to like it, but I now have OnDemand on my cable service and was bored. So I took a look. The first episode doesn't do most of the things I expected it to do. There are some nice unexpected twists, nothing mind blowing a thoughtful and smart writing. The cast is all well known and well thought of by me. We will see if it continues to be good, but I'm willing to watch a few more episodes.
Another show that I do not recommend but I didn't hate was Eastwick. It's a television version of the movie (or was it a book originally?) Witches of Eastwick with Jack Nicholson, Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer and who was the third one? Oh right Susan Sarandon! How did I forget that? Anyway the guy they took Nicholson's part actually pulls it off some extent. I don't know that I will go out of my way to see any more of it, but it didn't make me foam at the mouth.
