Against All Odds: “The Good Wife”

It appears to be that time of year again. The time where you cringe wondering if your favorite show that is “on the bubble” will be canceled or renewed. For the next few weeks I’ll be taking a look at some of the bigger “bubble” shows, starting with CBS’s The Good Wife.

Odds in Favor of Renewal:

While The Good Wife definitely isn’t a ratings hit for CBS in its new Sunday timeslot, the series still has a lot of award recognition in its third year. It is probably broadcast television’s only award darling among many cable shows. Stars Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi also get constant recognition for their roles.

Release News: “Rules of Engagement” The Complete Fifth Season

CBS’s little sitcom that always got the short end of the stick, Rules of Engagement, finally got a full 24-episode fifth season last year. The sixth season is halfway over, but now you can enjoy the complete fifth season as it will be released on DVD February 7th. The only problem is that this is a manufacture-on-demand release, so you have to get it online.

TV’s funniest cast is back and better than ever in the hilarious fifth season of RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. Married couple Audrey (Megyn Price) and Jeff (Patrick Warburton) run into surprising hurdles while attempting to have a baby via a surrogate. Meanwhile, Adam (Oliver Hudson) and Jennifer (Bianca Kajlich) are still planning their wedding – with a little help from Timmy (Adhir Kalyan). Eternal bad boy Russell (David Spade) continues his shenanigans as a single guy on the prowl, but may have finally met his match. Guest stars include Sara Rue, Jaime Pressly, Joan Collins, and Criss Angel. Newly remastered.

Live Updates – Golden Globe Awards

Ricky Gervais is back hosting the Golden Globes. There are going to be many upsets tonight in the television field, but hopefully Gervais keeps the show moving. Remember, the Golden Globes are always the indicator for the Oscars. Keep refreshing for all the updates.

Here we go:

5:00 – Ricky Gervais starts his rip on Hollywood. Nothing off limits, from Jodie Foster’s “beaver” and Justin Bieber’s paternity test.

5:05 – Gervais welcomes Johnny Depp and asks if he has seen The Tourist yet. He then shows Hugo for the first nominee in Best Motion Picture – Drama.

5:10 – Best Supporting Actor in a Movie is Christopher Plummer for his work in Beginners.

5:13 – Ashton Kutcher with his new haircut helps introduce Best Actress in a Televsion Series – Comedy or Musical. Laura Dern wins for Enlightened, a show that has not been too loved by critics yet.

5:19 – Rob Lowe and Julianne Moore are having difficulty with the teleprompter. They introduce Miss Golden Globe, the daughter of famed actress Andie MacDowell. Best Mini-Series of TV Movie winner is Downton Abbey.

5:23 – Lowe and Moore now introduce the Best Actress in Mini-Series or TV Movie category with Kate Winslet winning for Mildred Pierce. With names like Winslet and Diane Lane in categories like this, and Dern winning earlier, I’m still surprised how many movie stars are heading towards television. Winslet is the first winner to get the “get off the stage” music.

5:26 – Midnight in Paris is shown as a nominee for Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical.

5:32 – The usual “this is what the Golden Globes” does speech. For those of you wondering, yup, that guy up there – Jeremy Irons, is Scar from The Lion King.

5:33 – My Week with Marilyn is shown as nominee for Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical.

5:34 – Gervais is back telling the audience to keep speeches short. He introduces Melissa McCarthy and Paula Patton. Best Actor in Television Series – Drama goes to Kelsey Grammer for Boss. First shock of the night. He got a nice round of applause though.
