Check Out Vancouver Sun's TGW Profile

The Vancouver Sun recently wrote an extensive profile on TGW and it includes some interesting quotes and thoughts from the actors. Julianna Margulies calls Alicia repressed and likens her character's stoic and controlled manner to "that 1960s exterior of everything looks great..." Julianna also explains her views on feminism and how they relate to the show. It's an interesting article and includes many interesting tidbits from the show's stars.

'Taking Control' One of TV Guide's Favorite Episodes of 2010

The year is almost over and that of course means countless 'Best of.." and "Worst of 2010" lists. For all you TV fanatics out there, TV Guide complies a list of their favorite episodes of 2010 and the season 2 opener "Taking Control" comes in at Number 16. The folks over at TV Guide are in awe of the voicemail situation and also applaud the show for adding, what I personally consider to be my least favorite character, Blake. The list isn't complete yet and there's a chance more TGW episodes will end up on the list.
Check out the list:

TGW Ratings Down, In Danger of Being Canceled?

In terms of total viewers, The Good Wife easily makes it into the Top 25 most watched shows every week, but unfortunately in the 18-49 demographic that advertisers usually go for, the show is down significantly from last year, now pulling in around a 2.3 rating on average. This is a fairly low number, especially for CBS. Should we be worried?
Well, TVbytheNumbers.com thinks TGW is a 'bubble show' meaning next spring when renewals are announced it could go either way. Some commenters on that website have a different opinion. They think Tuesdays at 10pm is a tough slot. In fact, 10 pm viewership in general seems to be dwindling. Some also point out that the preceding two hours appeal to a different demographic. Should we try to get more young people to watch it? Could the title of the show put off some people? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Maybe ratings will pick up next year. Let's hope for the best.

UPDATE - March 31 - we just posted an update on The Good Wife ratings.
