The Good Wife with Julianna Margulies is about a wife who has a husband in public office. The states attorney of Chicago Illinois is the position the husband holds in the television show. This show is entirely about the woman who stand behind the man in those press conferences where they say sorry. Elliot Spitzers wife is still married to him. Mark Sanfords wife is still married to him. In the pilot of the show the character played by Christine Baranski who plays Julinna Margulies boss on the show has a picture of herself with Hillary Clinton so of course the Clintons are in the mix with this show.
The show is not a political show it is about people but of course politics will play a part because of the husband. Its not going to be West Wing or Commander in Chief or some other political show that you may have seen in the past. It is about people. Julianna Margulies plays a woman who was a lawyer who gave her practice up to be a housewife and support her husband. After the husband goes to jail she goes back to work and her boss is played by the previously mentioned Christine Baranski. Christine Baranski is a very good actress who won an Emmy for Cybill and Julianna Margulies won an Emmy for her work on ER in the supporting category and then would go on to be nominated a lot more times for leading actress in a drama series. Chris Noth plays the husband and he is known for his work on Sex and The City.

I think it deserves to be checked out. The commercials that have been aired about it look like it will be a good show.
