Let’s Be “The Good Wife”

I’m a new wig for Alicia every season.

I’m the original Let's be "The Good Wife"! thread.

I’m Alicia and Kalinda’s last scene filmed separately.

R3 I was there!

I'm Christine Baranski

I'm Julianna Margulies smoldering hot sexiness.

I'm Christine Baranski's spinoff.

I'm Josh Charles, off to bigger and better things, never to be seen or heard from again.

I’m Glenn Childs looking like I stepped off the dictionary page next to the word “evil”.

I'm fidgety nervous nelly Alan Cummings, grey as a newspaper recycling plant in my ill-fitting suits. Incredulously, I am put forth as a formidable force who makes people quake in their boots.

I’m the last great drama on network television.

I'm Chris Noth, eventually I get "fucked over" by horsefaced SJP in her shitty new show!!

I'm Elsbeth Tascioni, an awesome character created by The Good Wife creators.

Now, Elsbeth has her own show-GOOD FOR HER-Go make dat $$$ Carrie Preston.

Don't forget residuals& syndication rights!

I’m the storyline subplots that sometimes went nowhere because of a 22 episode season requirement.

I'm Kalinda's notebook. What secrets to I contain?

I’m Jeffrey Dean Morgan playing Male Kalinda during the final season.

I’m the rewatch discovering it still holds up! but I stop at the season where Alicia runs for State AG and the show becomes pointless. Fortunately Christine Baranski steps up for a fantastic sequel.

I’m all the continuing secondary characters: judges, opposing counsels, relatives, investigators, government agents, clients, most of whom were crazy and all perfectly cast.

I'm The Good Fight.

I'm multiple glasses of red wine consumed by Alicia in every episode (gradually increasing with every season.) Basically, I'm one woman's subtle descent into functional alcoholism.

I'm the wacky depositions.

I’m the very satisfying slap in the series finale.

I’m the wink casting producers gave to the DL audience for casting who they did to play a character influenced by the whole Bill Clinton cheating scandal. Real life, reported closeted lesbian, stands by her man.

I’m Patti Nyholm populating a small village

I’m the fact that the son was going to turn into a hot piece of ass. I don’t do PC.

I'm the fact that the son was packing a big thick dick!

I'm everyone PHONING.

No one calls anyone on this show — they PHONE.

Cary Agoas was hot, no matter what anyone says.

I worked with a woman who besides myself couldn't stand to look at the face of Julianna Margulies. We bonded.

R27 I thought it was a Midwest thing. Are they all dumb cunts?

I’m the changing names of the firm.

I’m Louis Canning re-appearing waaay too often.

I’m one of those Gummer girls. She’s quirky!

I’m the “in your opinion” judge played by Ana Gasteyer.

I’m Alicia’s un-fabulous gay brother.

I'm Marissa, and the Kings tried to make me into a thing with two shows in a row before finally giving up. I just don't have the face for Hollywood, evidenced by the fact I've mostly done shorts and podcasts since.

[quote]I’m Louis Canning re-appearing waaay too often

Once was waaay too often. The repeat appearances meant skipping an episode.

I'm all the attorneys who played clever under a cloak of cloyingly naive or plain stupid ("I guess I'm just a simple girl from Butterbean, Arkansas who never heard about this...'oral sex's it's called? business until this afternoon!")

TGW was at its best when it had quick-paced long uninterrupted runs of dialogue that displayed some underlying knowledge and an ability to pose an argument. The playing dumb characters were a weak point.

No I liked Louis Canning. Whenever he played upon the sympathy of the judge/jury, opposing counsel would roll their eyes. He was devious and frequently unlikeable. How often do you see that on tv, especially on a drama?

I am the sudden shock in season 6.

No spoilers.

I’m David Lee being a bitch every time I open my mouth.

I’m David Lee’s nepo baby niece.

I’m Eli Gold flipping out every time one of Peter’s relatives so much as sneezes without media training.

Let’s be a show that’s largely forgotten now.

I'm old bitch Jackie, Peter's mother. I had some of the best scenes, especially when I confronted Alicia.

^^^The mom really was an "olde fucking Bitch", but she did have some great scenes with Alicia^^^

r37 I argued at the time the show was engaging in serious retardface with certain characters. I felt the same way when I caught a couple of episodes of Monk as a kid. And then they went ahead and did a whole spinoff with Elsbeth.

I thought we left that shit behind in the '90s, but I guess it's back in vogue now under the veneer of aspie-ism, so it's suddenly acceptable again. And I say that as an aspie myself.

Unpopular opinion ahead: the character of Elsbeth was incredibly annoying and more than 5 minutes of her in an episode is way too much. The fact that they created a whole show around her is mind boggling.

What does DL know about Cary Agos? He had main roles in four shows and yet his Wikipedia profile is just a stub. Never married, never seen with anyone. What's up with him?

My fiance is from Canada. You wouldn't know her.

I thought he was fantastic in The Good Wife. At first you disliked him and then you warmed up to his character and the season finale when Alicia opened the door and he was standing there, omg. What a shock cliffhanger.

R50 Who?

I’m Grace converting to Christianity

Oh, Grace...

I’m Will’s basketball games

I’m sexy senior citizen Gary Cole.

I’m Colin Sweeney and I did NOT kill my wife!
