Article Update: After having been in an on-set accident while filming The Good Wife on July 11, Kristin Chenoweth has made public her decision to leave the show. "It is with deep regret to inform everyone that due to my injuries, I am unable to return to The Good Wife" notes Chenoweth. With just one episode under her belt, I can only hope she will make a speedy recovery and return to the hallowed halls of Lockhart Gardner as a journalist on a mission to bring down the Florrick campaign. It's official. This is the most exciting week for casting in the history of The Good Wife. It's a big claim, I know, but I'm willing to sing it, dance it, act it and mime it - Season four of The Good Wife is going to feature the single most star-studded ensemble cast on television.
As if the
June 25th announcement of Marc Warren and Maura Tierney joining the cast of the Good Wife wasn't big enough, news of triple-threat Kristin Chenoweth’s recurring role
on the show has quickly become the delicious icing atop The Good Wife’s casting
coup cake.According to a press release from CBS, Chenoweth’s character will debut in The Good Wife’s season premiere
as a political journalist slated to report on Peter’s campaign for Governor.You can bet news of the Florrick’s
estranged marriage won’t take long to hit the press which means Eli will be
quickly back to work doing what he does best: acting as a political puppet
master.
I, for one,
can’t help but wonder what other implications having a top-of-her-game
journalist around will bring to the show.
Will the beloved Team Gardner romance of season three get blown out of
the water? Will Chenoweth’s character
befriend staff at Lockhart Gardner to get the inside scoop on Alicia? Will Grace and Zach end up caught in the
middle (or, better yet, be forced to put their season one Kalinda-esque PI skills
to good use)? Look out Cook County, things just got a little more interesting.
Of course, there is one other huge variable that comes into play with Chenoweth joining the cast. It's no secret Christine Baranaski (Diane), Alan Cumming (Eli) and Graham Phillips (Zach) are all accomplished singers. Is it wrong to hope for at least one scene in season four involving a singalong? Karaoke anyone?
Kristin Chenoweth,
Tony and Emmy Award winner, is best known by TV audiences for her roles on the
West Wing, Pushing Daisies, Glee, and most recently, GCB. Of course, long-time fans of Chenoweth (a
category where I happily find myself), knows her best from her acclaimed
Broadway roles in You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown, Wicked and Promises,
Promises. You can follow Kristin Chenoweth on Twitter @kchenoweth.
With season
three of The Good Wife officially in the record books, it only seems fitting we
pause to celebrate the best (and worst) of those 22 glorious episodes. It was a year that saw fans shrieking with joy
(Team Gardner, we got this!) and moments later, covering their faces while
repeating, ‘did that just happen? No
really. Did THAT just happen?!’ Okay, maybe those were *my* reactions, but I like
to think I’m not totally alone. Honesty,
did anyone see the whole Wendy Scott-Carr situation ultimately being about
Peter? Who would have predicted the end of Alicia and Will would be as simple as a ringtone? To that end, whose heart didn't get torn into
a million pieces during their breakup? And last, but certainly not least, who would
have thought Kalinda’s husband (ex-husband? Who really knows?) would be the start of her potential undoing? While K waits at her door, gun close at hand, let's kick back and enjoy some of season three's most memorable moments.
Best Guest Star - Carrie Preston as Elsbeth
Tascioni
“Whew! Look at all this paper.” It’s a phrase fans of The Good Wife (I swear,
it’s not just me!) have incorporated into everyday conversation, all because of
the brilliantly whimsical and stunningly clever Elsbeth Tascioni. She was hired by Will on Alicia’s
recommendation and outsmarted Wendy Scott-Carr in court and outside a play about
dancing bears. All I can say is: ‘Someone,
please get this woman an invite to the Lockhart Gardner Christmas Party!’ –
just imagine the hilarity that would ensue!
Carrie Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni is dynamic and charming… and
strangely makes me yearn for more legal debauchery so she can grace our screens
again. I can’t help but think: Elsbeth
having to defend Kalinda would be outrageously entertaining. “Whew!
Look at all these uncashed cheques and stacks of money…”
Worst Story – The Florrick Homestead in
Highland Park
The truth
be told, I had to toss a coin to decide this one. Heads was Alicia on the teeter-totter of her
old Highland Park home; tails was Grace getting fauxnapped by Internet
Jesus. Oh how I long for the days of
season one when Zach and Grace were channeling their PI skills and doing
something useful. *Sigh* Heads won, so
it was decided: The back and forth on the Highland Park house was enough to
make even Eli want to scream (which is saying something, since he specializes
in mitigating disasters). The house
continues to provide an interesting device for a story arc as we head into
season four and Peter makes a run for Governor.
With Jackie’s money tied to the house and Peter committed to doing yard
work when he’s not trying to take out Mike Krevesta (Matthew Perry) at the
knees, the idea of ‘can you ever go home?’ seems to be a theme the writers
desperately want us to conquer.
Best Random Resurfacing Character (Single
Episode) – Tammy Okay,
okay. I know what you’re thinking.
“Tammy?! Really?!” Oh yes, I’m not kidding. Anyone who can elicit such dramatic
expressions from Alicia deserves an honorable mention. Not only that, she rocks journalist chic in
an epic way. While it’s no secret I’m a
Team Gardner fan, for reasons I cannot explain, I have always found myself to
be intrigued by Tammy’s character and how she fits into the bigger picture.
Best Judge – Linda Emond as Leora Kuhn
Colonel
Leora Kuhn, aka, Will’s arch nemesis in the land of military justice. Her demeanor is dry but her wit is sharp and
if there’s one thing she’s serious about, it’s making Will uncomfortable. In many cases Will is able to charm and
persuade not just Judges, but everyone (let’s not forget, he IS one of Chicago’s
most eligible bachelors). With Leora
Kuhn, the opposite is true and it makes for deliciously awkward and hysterical
scenes. Season three’s “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” prominently featured Kuhn and, for those of you keeping score,
Lockhart Gardner didn’t win the case that went before her, despite a
well-fought argument (and the beloved Captain Terrance Hicks). Let’s hope the military gets roped into
something next year. Double points if
Elsbeth and Will have to team up and go before Kuhn together.
Most frustrating character – Eli Gold
Now, don’t
get me wrong. In general, I love
Eli. He’s a public relations mastermind
and his snappy dressing is second to none.
Unfortunately, this season posed a challenge for his character. With no active campaigns, Eli was left
floundering between crisis management and the brink of his own insanity. Take, for example, the fact he spent the last
quarter of the season trying to undermine his former ally, Diane. We were never really given the full story as
to why Eli wanted to oust Diane from named partnership, but the best thing to
come from that story line was seeing him butt-heads with David Lee. With the exception of Eli’s gig at the Dairy
Association, his bed-side visit to Jackie and a smattering of brilliant one-liners,
Eli Gold was a mere shell of his former self.
I can’t wait for his season four redemption, back in campaign mode and
not crying over spilled milk.
Best Scene – “It’s a surprise party for you” This
category was almost impossible, but I had to challenge myself to come up with a
single moment in time that I loved above all others. Here goes:
Location:
The elevator (because, let's face it, that's where all the best things happen) followed by the reception area on the 28th floor at
Lockhart Gardner
Scene: Will and Peter end up on the same elevator
and engaged in awkward conversation. When the doors open, Alicia is there to
greet them both. Enter Eli who doesn’t
know what to say to the Florrick/Gardner/Florrick team when Cary comes into the scene balancing a banker’s box on one knee while trying to shake
Peter’s hand. Through the group rolls
Patti Nyholm’s baby who Will calls ‘their new associate’ and then, *ding* the
elevator doors open to reveal Kalinda.
Why this
scene was so great: It was a collision of, at minimum, five storylines at one
time. It was brilliantly scripted and
exquisitely filmed. Beyond that, this
scene boiled so much of the show down to one key theme: Nothing is ever simple
– we live in shades of grey. It’s
something Alicia mentioned at the beginning of season one and it’s a quote that
continues to permeate the stories on The Good Wife each week.
Best Overall Performance - Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart There is little I can say that will do any justice to Baranski's excellence this year. The character of Diane Lockhart has been strong since day one, but season three was the year for Baranski to shine. Not only was she the glue that held Lockhart Gardner together, she defended Will's professional integrity, brought a legal aid organization into the firm and dated two men... at the same time. She's like superwoman but in Stuart Weitzman heels. If ever there was a time to honor this actress with an Emmy, this would be the year.
Top Six Episodes - The Season's Best... In My Opinion According to a recent article, The Good Wife has submitted 10 episodes for Emmy consideration. That's 45% of their total shows this season. Now, let's be honest. I'm not great at narrowing things down and readers of this blog can all attest that brevity isn't my forte. Noting this, how was I able to boil things down when the writers and producers couldn't? It's simple. I used a formula. I don't want to get into specifics, but it involved a precise calculation of moments that made me laugh, clap, cry and cover my face while shrieking. I gave bonus points for scenes and episodes that did all four, especially when they did so simultaneously. It's very scientific.
Feeding the Rat- While Alicia is tackling a complicated pro-bono case, Will, Peter and Celeste are all busy attending a local conference. The result? An outrageous charade. Also, Will drops an 'I love you' into conversation with Alicia. Needless to say, I adore everything about this episode.
Executive Order 13224- Alicia lands in hot water with the Treasury Secretary Monitor (the cupcake loving Mr. Higgs) and she hires Elsbeth Tascioni to help her from winding up in prison.
Alienation of Affection - "You've been served." Three little words that haunt everyone at Lockhart Gardner as Diane's soon-to-be love interest, Jack Copeland, shows up around Chicago delivering ominous manila envelopes.
After the Fall - Will's suspension is official and his sisters arrive to comfort him during his time of need. Hilarity ensues. Rewatch count: Probably shouldn't admit.
Blue Ribbon Panel - Alicia and Kalinda finally begin to connect about the mysterious tax file, but before long, Alicia gets pulled onto a Blue Ribbon Panel and finds herself looking for justice while defending herself from sociopath, Mike Kresteva.
Season Three Honourable Mentions - Most Memorable Moments What can I say? There are a few things I can't help but mention again...
Alicia and Will at his apartment in the season premiere. Should they go to his room? No. The cabinet at the front door works just as well. This was quite possibly the steamiest scene of season three (that is, depending on how you felt about Kalinda getting "flexible" with Lana...)

A Note of Thanks
I’m
particularly fond of season three because my love for all things The Good Wife
came together in the form of this blog.
It brought some wonderful new friends into my life and helped me
reconnect with those with whom I’d lost
touch. A special thanks to everyone who has supported my (occasionally) irrational love of Team Gardner... and to those of you who have celebrated Good Wife Sundays and Mondays with me every step along the way. Here's to season four - here's to a new day!
The Good Wife summer hiatus is here and that means kicking back on a patio with friends, hosting pool parties or rooftop garden gatherings and barbecuing skewers of delicious morsels while watching the sun set. Of course, while doing all of these things I'm also busy thinking Who could be lurking on the other side of Kalinda's door? and Who is going to be cast as her husband? Sure, I could (should?) be using these glorious extra hours of sunlight for something productive like learning another language or reading War and Peace, but there will be time for those things later. I mean, a girl has priorities. Now, by my estimation, we have about 20 weeks to survive the hiatus, so I'm getting ready to make the most of those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer by working my way through my favourite recipes from season three's Food Inspired by The Good Wife. If I'm super efficient I'll even take a stab at that whole 'other language' thing... once my Executive Order 13224-inspired Red Velvet Cupcakes are perfected.

When a finale
includes sledge hammers, elevators, fruit platters, menacing phone calls,
tequila shots and 9mm ammunition, there’s really nothing more an audience could
ask for. In fact, this is the benchmark
to which I’m going to hold all finales from now on. There’s
really only one word to describe The Good Wife’s season three capstone: Brilliant.
In My Opinion – Episode Commentary
I hardly
know where to start when it comes to this episode. “The Dream Team” was everything of which dreams are made. Now, I’ll admit, bittersweet finales are the
crux of my television weakness. I
countdown, I plan and I’m ever-thankful for commercials that give me something
to ponder while I prepare for the big event.
Then, when finale night comes, I’m exhilarated at the prospect of an
epic episode while simultaneously cursing the four-month hiatus that inevitably
follows. While I’m sad The Good Wife’s third
season has come to an end (with one fewer episode than last year), I’m thrilled
it went out on a high note with the promise of a fourth season that could be
their best yet.
Side note:
I apologize in advance for the length of this post. I just couldn’t control myself!
The Art of Being Flexible
Kalinda.
Alicia. Side-by-side. So much joy.
Everything
about the opening scene of this episode made me want to scream and cry for
sheer and utter joy. If I had a confetti
cannon, I would have set it off during this sequence. Alicia and Kalinda are one of the show’s most
important synergies. If I didn’t think
Will and Alicia belonged together, I would dare say Kalinda and Alicia would be
the show’s best couple. In a way, I
think they are… and that’s why this was the moment we'd all been waiting for. While sipping tequila, Kalinda confessed to
Alicia: “I’m not gay. You asked whether
I was gay…”
Alicia: “Yes, two years ago.”
Kalinda: “I
know. I wanted to answer. I’m not gay, I’m… flexible.”
Alicia: “Okay…
flexible. Good.”
Squee! I have no words, except to say: It’s a new
day.
Bedside Bamboo
Eli. Jackie. Gunshots and a synagogue.
As it turns
out, Jackie is still recovering from her stroke in the hospital. As someone who is usually pristinely put
together, seeing Jackie in such a vulnerable position, especially without her
headband or pearls on which to rely, is a little sad. Enter Eli with a bunch of bamboo. He doesn’t seem at all worried about sending Jackie
into cardiac arrest and gets quickly down to business. He’s tired of hearing about real estate and
this ridiculous Florrick homestead. He
warns Jackie that if she wants to see Peter win the election, she needs to
apologize to Alicia and make this whole house debacle go away. Before long, Jackie starts talk about
religion and dying; Eli gets uncomfortable and has to leave. This is the type of thing I love about Eli –
he brought a gift, had a meltdown and left in under three minutes. He’s meddling in all the right ways, unlike
his thwarted plot to overthrow Diane. Busy
“campaign Eli” is better than “I lost my dairy account to a bunch of fruit
fanatics Eli” any day.
In Any Other World…
Will. Alicia.
An elevator. Again. At last.
Will: "That
was weird."
Alicia: "What? With Peter today? (Pause) Yes it was."
(Pause)
Will: "Do
you think it was a mistake?"
Alicia: "No."
Will: "Goodnight, Alicia."
Alicia: "Night, Will."
No regrets,
Team Gardner, no regrets. This scene was
delightful.I love the way Will and
Alicia talk to each other with such calm, cool and honest tones and express
sincerity with every carefully chosen word.They both know that circumstance is what’s keeping them apart and they
translate that into an intense respect for each other.Now, sure, I’ll confess: I was pulling for
Will to reach out and touch Alicia’s hand in this scene, but there’s always
next year and for that I’m grateful.Thank you to The Good Wife writers for giving
Team Gardner fans another elevator scene to watch for months to come.
Taking Care of Business
The IRS. A sledge hammer. $21,000 and a husband.
Taking a
page out of Will’s “how to have a disastrous year” handbook, Kalinda is well on
her way to ending up a casualty of her own past. The IRS has agreed to a compromise on Kalinda’s
tax file which is the good news… about the only good news (well, minus the
shared tequila shots, of course!). While
going through K’s files, Alicia spotted some checks that hadn’t been
cashed. As her lawyer, Alicia thought
she’d follow up to see if K’s past employers would re-issue payment (it would help
with the IRS bills, after all). The
problem? The checks hadn’t been cashed
for a reason. Take, for example, a check
for $21,000 from F & E Construction based out of Toronto, Canada. Let’s face it: F & E Construction is a
front for some kind of shady operation.
The mystery construction man (who, by the way, sounds like he should be
lurking in a back alley while carrying a mysterious duffle bag and eating a
man-meat sandwich instead of operating heavy machinery and building luxury
homes) tracked Alicia down at work and at her house. This is a going to be a problem.
So, what’s
this duffle bag-toting man’s deal? He’s
none other than Kalinda’s husband.
No. What?!
<insert confetti cannon>. Gasp!
Kalinda had nothing left to do but take matters into her own hands. Of course, this meant proceeding to the
hardware store to buy a sledge hammer.
Heading in her apartment (I know this is a serious story line, but I can
stop for a moment and say how excited I was to finally see inside her
home? It’s so… so… white. It was, quite frankly, just as awesome as the
rest of Kalinda. Sorry, back to
business), Kalinda pulled down a mirror, lifted the sledge hammer
and went straight through the drywall. A
few solid hits and a hole emerged that was just big enough for Kalinda to pull
scads of money, guns and ammunition. Getting
out of town was the first thought that crossed her mind, but upon finding out
Alicia could be in danger, Kalinda grabbed a chair and began a sit-in at her
front door. Knock, knock, knock…
As my
father has astutely pointed out: “Whoever is on the other side of that door is
going to end up with lead poisoning.”
Agreed. Kalinda isn’t going to go
down without a fight. What’s next? I have a theory. It involves Kalinda, her husband, the alleged
fire she set to her home, her faked death, her change of identity and the
construction check. Stay tuned in May
for my special feature: “Kalinda Sharma: A Biography.”
A Surprise Party
Two is a party, three is a crowd… six is a
hot mess of television gold
Arguably the best
scene of the show: Will in the elevator with Peter… when the doors opened, Alicia was there to greet them both. Enter Eli
who was awkward because, well, he knows these three have some tension. Before long, Cary gets added to the mix
because it’s not only fun to see him with his banker’s box (because he has to
work at a table instead of in an office), it’s amusing to see him deal with his
ex-boss, Peter, and the secrets he knows about Will and Alicia. The fuel to the fire? The next elevator arrived and it was Kalinda. Surprise!
Gold. Pure gold.
This scene sent my heart aflutter.
The Dream Team
Patti Nyholm and
Louis Canning are back. They are calling
themselves “The Dream Team” and anyone who knows anything about these two knows
that title isn’t a euphemism for anything – it’s a reality. Individually, these two are formidable
opponents. Together, they are like
stealthy legal ninjas, always one step ahead with a plan that seeks to undermine
their opposition. When Nyholm
high-kicks, Canning takes someone out at the knees. When Canning pulls his sword, Nyholm launches
a surprise attack from the back with a blindfold in one hand and a baby in the
other. It seems that Canning and Nyholm are sick of
fighting class-action suits against Lockhart Gardner, so they’ve joined forces
to sue for $50 million dollars, for fraud and malicious prosecution. While Diane makes a fair point, “If your
company doesn’t like being sued, stop making products that kill and maim people,”
it only goes so far when the phrase “judicial bribery” gets bandied about
again. Sometimes I feel as though Diane
must want to throw herself down the 28th floor elevator shaft, but,
ever the professional, she grins and bears it.
Time for depositions… generally transcribed and only slightly
embellished.
First up: Kalinda
Canning: Have you ever
misrepresented your occupation in order to interview a witness?
Kalinda: Can you be
more specific?
Canning: You know, like when you came to my house and
my wife offered you hummus? You said you
were a reporter. Things like that.
Cary: Why does this matter? She’s a little from column A, a little from
column B. She is, ummm... flexible.
Canning: Because it’s
illegal… and she didn’t even try the hummus or the fresh pita which I made that
morning. So, Kalinda, is this how you
get your information – do you lie about who you are?
Kalinda: Can you
repeat the question?
Okay, so this wasn't the exact dialogue that accompanied the scene, but you get the point. Kalinda gave Canning an epic run-around. It's what she does best and it's one of the many reasons we love her.
Next on the chopping block: Will
This season, Will
has become a pro at answering probing questions having to do with judges,
basketball and grand juries. I’m rather
certain he also knows who serves the best early-bird breakfast in Chicago, but
the only one asking him that is Howard.
Flash to the questioning:
Nyholm: You’re
Kalinda’s boss, correct?
Will: Could you
control Kalinda? I doubt it. Kalinda doesn’t really have a boss per say...
Nyholm: Okay. Well did you tell her to investigate on the
Veriscene case?
Will: Define “investigate.”
Nyholm: Seriously?
Why must you waste my time. Oh
look – my baby is at the window. Hi
Bugaboo. My apologies, you know, I’m now
a mother of two.
Diane: Define “wasting
time.” This conversation seems to be
going swimmingly.
Nyholm: Okay, well
think about this: I’m not the one with a balloon payment on his office.
Will and Diane:
(hrm)
Nyholm: Oops, was
that the elephant in the room?
Will and Diane:
(hrm take two)
Nyholm: Fine. Will, did you hook up judges and bookies at
Wednesday night hoops?
Diane: You can’t ask him that – this has to do with
a sealed transcript that we hope to the high heavens you never get your hands
on.
Nyholm: Oh sure,
but Will can still answer.
Will: Can you
repeat the question?
Nyhom: Oh great,
you’ve been taking lessons from Kalinda.
Fine. Get Alicia Florrick in
here. I’ll play with my baby while I
wait.
Alicia Florrick, reporting for duty
Alicia must be
thinking this can’t be worse than the
last time I was deposed… right?
Fingers crossed, Alicia. Fingers
crossed.
Nyholm: Do you know
Judge Wynter (not to be confused with Judge Winter… which is, by the way,
confusing).
Alicia: No.
Nyholm: So you didn’t
chat with him about your case, under the cover of darkness, in a closed room?
Alicia: No.
Nyholm: Did Peter?
Alicia: Not that I
know of, but he does like dark room conversations. Sure, he knows Judge Wynter, but I wouldn’t
say they were friends.
Nyholm: Did you
know Peter met with Judge Wynter three times before the verdict on your case
came down?
Alicia: No. Really.
How many times can I say no?
Also, don’t you watch CNN? I’m
rarely the first person to find out about these back-room deals when they
happen.
Nyholm: How don’t you know this? You’re frustrating me. Get Peter Florrick in here.
Peter Florrick: Off to the executioners
Canning: You met
with Judge Wynter three times in the last week, right?
Peter: Yes.
Nyholm: Is that a
lot for you?
Peter: Yah.
Nyholm: But you
hadn’t met with him before. In fact, you’d
only met him at lunch once, right?
Peter: That sounds about right. He’s nice though – I like him. He reminds me a bit of Judge Winter.
Nyholm: Did the subject of your wife’s lawsuit ever
come up?
Peter: No.
Nyholm: Really?
Because your wife had a suit in front of him at the same time and the
subject never came up?
Peter: Right.
Canning: So what
about this grand jury about Will Gardner?
What happened there? Why did you
axe Wendy Scott-Carr and let those judges off?
Peter: Wendy had to
go – you should have seen how she handled things. I validated her parking though, so don’t make
me look like the bad guy here. The whole
thing was a bit showy and probably a bad decision in the first place, but, you
know how these things go.
Canning: Didn’t you
ask Judge Wynter to decide this verdict for you wife as a quid pro quo for
dropping this investigation?
Peter: No.
Nyholm: But isn’t
that a fair conclusion?
Peter: No.
Nyholm: And how is
that?
Peter: Because my
wife and I are separated.
<Pa chow!>
Nyholm and Canning:
We didn’t see that coming.
Peter: I know – I’m
sneaky like that. Also, I’m trying out a
new policy. It’s called “honesty.” So far, so good. In fact, if you want to know why I was
meeting with Wynter, it’s because he’s going to be a campaign supporter.
Even the stealthy
legal ninjas didn’t see that coming.
Unfortunately for Peter, the marital split is now in public record, but
that seems like a problem to hand over to Eli another day.
All signs pointed
to a win for Lockhart Gardner until The Dream Team dropped the bomb: This whole
lawsuit was a sham to get them distracted from their prized client, Patric
Edelstein. In the words of Will: “Oops.” Indeed.
What’s Next?
It’s hiatus
time, which means we’re left to imagine who is on the other side of Kalinda’s
door, whether or not Alicia will join Peter and the kids for pizza and if Cary
will be carting around his office supplies in a banker’s box forever. We have
an estimated 23 weeks until we get any answers we’re looking for, but I have plenty
of original content planned for Lockhart Gardner: An Inside Look at The Good
Wife throughout the summer. Stay tuned
and please sound off in the comments below.
Happy hiatus, friends and fans!
