So I just finished watching the first episode of The Good Wife – a new show on CBS about a woman named Alicia Florrick (played by Julianna Margulies) who returns to work as an attorney after her scum bag husband (played by my favorite scum bag, Chris North) is involved in very public sex and political corruption scandal that lands him in jail. Now, if that were me, the show would be about her going to jail for you know, losing her shit. But this about The Good Wife, who publicly sticks by him, goes back to work and tries to pick up the pieces of her life basically.

So when I originally set this to record on my DVR it was for pretty much one reason, um, Chris North. Because I didn’t realize that Grams from Dawsons Creek would be on the show as Chris North’s mother or that Matt Czuchry (you know Rory’s boy toy, Logan) would be her rival at the office – oh and there’s also Christine Baranski who plays her not so friendly mentor – she’s been in everything, seriously. All of this? Exciting enough. But not the reason I’m writing this.

No, I’m writing this from one Don’t Tell Mom, The Baby Sitter’s Dead fan to hopefully another. Someone? Anyone? If you loved that movie then you NEED to know that Bryan, or Josh Charles is in this, too, in what I’m predicting will be the main character, Alicia’s new love interest in episodes to come? Is it sad that I immediately recognized him and was all, “Oh my god it’s Bryan!!!” I’m gonna go with, probably, but whatever. I officially am hooked on this show, possibly, maybe, only for that reason.

Anyone else?
