The Good Wife


I was sad to hear that The Good Wife was being cancelled.  Yes, I’m going to miss The Good Wife.

Funny that I only discovered the show a little over a year ago.  Well, that’s not entirely true.  I had heard about it before then but had never watched it.  It was one of those shows that looked interesting but after I missed the premiere episode I decided that the ship had sailed and I wasn’t going to try to catch up.

That is until around Thanksgiving 2014.  I saw that I had full access to every season through my cable provider.  I had been off work for a while at the time and found myself doing marathon watching of the show every day, getting in as many episodes as I could.

When I returned to work it was only part time at first.  I would get up early and watch one or two shows before I went into work.  I’d come home at lunch time and continue where I had left off that morning.  I was really tired at the time so I wasn’t getting as many shows in as I would’ve liked but it was pretty much all I was watching.  My DVR filled up to capacity because I wasn’t watching anything that it was recording. 

This continued for a couple of weeks until I caught up to the current season.  At that point I actually purchased the first few episodes of the current season from amazon, just so I could watch them in order and be ready when it came back from the winter break.

So technically, I’ve only been watching it as it airs about a year now.  And now they’re cancelling it.  L  I’m so bummed because it’s still such a good show.  So well written and characters clearly defined.  Still fresh material.  Plus, they’ve finally given Alicia a new love interest that looks promising.

I guess no one wants to stay too long at the party but I wasn’t ready for this one to end.  L

Sigh
