The Good Wife

I know I don't talk about it much, because its not a flashy show, but I am really enjoying The Good Wife this season. They have been doing a bit more quirky stuff, with new recurring guest stars like Matthew Perry and Amanda Peet -I just wish they could have a scene together for a Studio 60 reunion!

I'm liking the stuff with Cary this year, him breaking out and I am kinda hoping him and Alicia DO start up their own firm. It'd be cool to see them go agisnt Will. That ep where they had to do a mock trial against them was lots of fun.
As much as I'd hate to lose time with Will and Diane, the show does kinda need a new direction.

I am also loving this new investigator girl. She's very different from Kalinda, although she appears to be hiding stuff as well. But she's fun and a little kooky which I can appreciate.

Peter also seems to be around less lately, which I like too. He's okay in small doses, but I prefer the focus to be on the Lockhart Gardner people, and less on Alicia's family issues.

Revolution/ER/Brothers & Sisters Connections


Pretty much watching nothing but ER these days...but I have slowed down a little bit. I've just finished season 7. Which has some great Abby stuff with Sally Field guest starring as her crazy mother. 
It also means I've finished with Elizabeth Mitchell's eps, so that will make it easier watching Revolution. Not that she was in ER that much anyways for being in 17 eps....but it was still good. But not her best character, and all the making out with Laura Innes was weird.
Now I'll have to drag out season 8, cause I don't want Mark Green to die!

Speaking of Revolution. It is still awesome after the 1st ep back. Plenty of good Rachel stuff, but also good Miles, Charlie and Aaron stuff. I don't care so much about the Neville family stuff. But the line from this week's ep by Jason was my fave line of the year. "What's a boy band?"
It was good to get an explanation of what made the power go out, but it still didn't exactly say why...and I'm more interested in the why...and the flashbacks that should tell me. I want to know what went on with Miles and Bass, and why Rachel went willingly as a prisoner?!

Raising Hope has wrapped for the season. The finale was okay, but it was the 2nd last ep that I loved. The not really a musical musical ep. "I'm gonna rock the Torah" is still stuck in my head.

Smash finally got better...meaning Ivy is back as Marilyn, but it looks like season 3 is a pipe dream. But this season has not been great. I blame Hit List...2 musicals is fun in theory, but Smash was at its best when it was about building Bombshell, and Ivy vs. Karen.

Here's hoping Nashville gets a 2nd season. The last few eps have been great. If only they could get rid of Avery...he's annoying and there are way too many characters with non-connecting storylines.
Yay for more Lennon and Maisy Stella singing. Those little girls kick ass!

The Good Wife and Once Upon a Time are off for a few more weeks. But my comedies are starting to wrap up too.

Mad Men is back, the first ep was kinda boring. I don't like Megan. Betty bores me.
I liked having Kerris Lilla Dorsey in an ep. Thought it was cool having her and Max Cotton's little brother in a scene together...almost a Brothers and Sisters reunion. 
I also didn't recognize Linda Cardellini  at first, which seeing as I'm watching ER.....I felt bad about.
