Her Sunday must-watch (10/9)

Alright, tonight I'm going with my same pick from last week: The Good Wife (9/8c on CBS). I feel like I have to work hard to sway the younger TV fans (read: those of you younger than 60) out there to check this show out. Why do I think this?

-Penny on Happy Endings made a crack a couple of weeks back about not watching The Good Wife because she's not old. Penny, I love you, you're a-mah-zing, but you're totes wrong here.

-My local morning radio DJ said this is one of the only shows he watches. He's sixty-something.

-It airs on CBS, which has an average audience member age of 70. Okay, I made that up. But it's probably closer to that than 30, is all I'm sayin'.

So, if you're on the younger side, check this show out tonight. What else are you doing on a Sunday eve? And if you're on the older, er, more mature side, add this show to your must-watch list if it isn't already. You know you're already watching everything else on CBS.

Her Sunday must-watch (10/2)

I'm a big fan of The Good Wife, and I'm pretty sure more people would be if they gave it a chance. That's why it's my must-watch tonight. Need convincing?

The Emmy's sure love this show. The Good Wife grabbed noms for Best Series, Drama (again), as well as Best Actress, Drama (Julianna Margulies), Best Supporting Actor, Drama (Josh Charles and Alan Cumming), and Best Supporting Actress, Drama (Christine Baranski and Archie Panjabi). Margulies took home a trophy. Talk about a solid show. Plus, it also stars Mr. Big! (That's Carrie's soul mate for you non Sex and the City watchers.) 

Plus, there's more than enough scandal to go around. Political antics. Office politics. Love triangles. Did I mention Margulies' character is now separated from her husband (Chris Noth) - who she found out slept with her co-worker best friend before they were friends - and sleeping with her boss (Charles), who is being especially hard on her to try to keep their relationship under wraps?

Now that's must-see TV.

Her Sunday must-watch

Tonight I'll be watching a few shows, all for different reasons.

Desperate Housewives: Because it's the first episode of the final season. Sure, it peaked several years ago, but like that last bite on a dinner plate, I can't just leave it there after coming this far. Even if I have had more than enough.

The Good Wife: Excited to see what happens after Alicia (Emmy-winner Julianna Margulies) has given into her feelings for boss/longtime friend Will (Josh Charles). I'm confident this premier episode won't let Willicia supporters down.

Pan Am: It's new. It's set in the 60s. And it stars pint-size Christina Ricci. I'm intrigued.

But my must-watch for tonight has to be Dirty Soap (10/9c on E!).  It's a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of some of the hottest soap stars around. And as the promo says, "When lies, backstabbing and scandal are your day job, real life can get a little complicated." My prediction is this show becomes huge. Whether you watch soaps or not, this E! reality show is sure to entertain. No prizes. No voting out of a house or off an island. No Kardashian sisters. Just good, old fashioned, real-life drama. Sign me up.
