Delicious TV: The Good Wife

Can I just talk about how much I love this show? As far as I'm concerned, everything about it is perfection. Every time I watch it the word that repeatedly comes to mind is delicious. Just everything about it is simply delicious.

First off, the actors are not only perfectly cast but are just ridiculously good. They're all amazing. I almost can't stand it. I watched ER, but I don't think I appreciated Julianna Margulies until now. She's great. And her chemistry with Will? Electric. As for Chris Noth (Peter), I don't even think of him as "Big" (from Sex and the City) anymore- and seriously, that's saying a lot, because what woman from the age of twenty and up doesn't know him from that show? Anyway, moving on. I was positively giddy when I found out Alan Cumming would be joining the show because I've been a fan for a long time, and he didn't disappoint. I love him as Eli Gold. I only wish there were more of him. And Christine Baranski? Please. I could watch an entire episode of just her talking.

The wardrobe is absolute eye-candy, is it not? It makes me want to work at that law firm so that I can be an impeccable dresser too, because I assume it just comes with the job, yes? I would think Alicia's attire would pose some problems as far as keeping it interesting because it seems like it could be a bit limiting, but it's always great! And don't get me started on her make-up!

Does Calinda ever wear anything other than boots? I don't know and I don't care but I do want them all. She absolutely rocks them and if it weren't so cliché I could almost see them doing a little montage of all her kick-ass scenes to Nancy Sinatra's These Boots Were Made for Walking, can't you?

Last but not least regarding wardrobe: the men. All I have to say is Sweet Jesus, I love them all because they are absolutely gorgeous in their beautiful suits! Cary Grant would be proud.

Lastly, can we talk set design? Because, really, that is the thing, maybe more than anything else, that just makes me squirm in my seat (in a good way) and possibly distracts me from the actual dialogue. I cannot stop staring at the sets! First of all, that law office. If I worked there, I'd be happy to put in over time. In fact, I'd probably need to because I'd be distracted all day just by staring at all the beautiful furniture around me.

And I want to live in Alicia's apartment. I honestly cannot watch a scene that takes place there and focus on dialogue because I am busy just looking at wall colors, and bookshelves, and that kitchen! Lord, I want that kitchen- and it's not even a color scheme I ever thought I was interested in, but it's gorgeous and I want it and until I can afford to redo mine like that, I just I wish Alicia would spend more time in there cooking, or at least hanging out in there talking to her kids or Peter, so I can look at it some more .

But then there's the living room with the gorgeous bookshelves. I'm a sucker for a room with bookshelves. It could be a crappy room with bookshelves and I'd be in love, but a gorgeous room with bookshelves? Well, there are no words. I guess it'd be ok if she wanted to spend more time hanging out there, just drinking some wine or whatnot.

So yeah... all in all I just love this show. I love looking at the show and I want to live in it. Yep, I want to pour myself a glass of wine in Alicia's kitchen, wander over to the living room and then just sit there staring at everything in the room. Maybe have Will come over in one of his gorgeous suits and have some wine with me... while Eli yells at someone-I don't care who- on the phone in the beautiful kitchen.
