Quote wannazach: Just watched. I give it two thumps up! Really liked it and I am gonna watch it next week too. I think I can get hooked on this one.


I'm am glad you thought this b/c I thought it was STUPENDOUS! I am already hooked!

You know, I don't know your age, but years ago there was a sitcom called "Cybill" with Cybill Shepherd and Christine Baranski played her constantly drunk friend, Maryanne Thorpe. She was so good then and was nominated for numerous awards and won two for her part in this.

Anyway, always thought she was spectacular and was really happy to see her on this program, as Diane Lockhart, one of the main attorneys at the firm. Still funny as heck with her dog named "Justice"

Anyway, loved it, loved it, loved it -- and we can wait to hear from Mem.


Okay guys its about to start here. I can't wait!!! Just got finished watching two great SVU episodes so I am amped and ready to go!!

I'll post my thoughts after. We can all discuss it!!


Don't know if I will still be up - - or Wanna at that matter. But can't wait to see how your feel.

Wish others would come to this thread and tell us if they liked it - - if they watched it!

Oh its okay I know you guys are on the east coast so we will just talk later on.

But here is my take.......... I loved it!!!

It was good from the beginning to the end.

I don't know all of the characters names yet have to look that one up.

The casting was perfect all the characters were believable and the writing was great to.

Only Chris Noth could make me like a cheating politician.

All the people who judged Alicia before they met her made me so mad. Nobody took her seriously except for her friend the partner. Didn't like the Cary guy but I understand his point of view (I love the actor because of other shows). Loved her relationship with her children. I sympathize with Alicia on her relationship with her mother-in-law. I know its probably good to have her their but she is his mother. I did not like the jeans talk.

Her mentor was great saying us women need to stick together thought it was good she made her feel welcome. Did not like the stuck-up district attorneys they really underestimated her. The judge was great he was stern but not to bias. Loved the part where she gave her client the advice like you knew Alicia had done the same thing. The new states attorney was a major creep something is fishy about him.

Wonder if the husband was set up?

Thought the bit about the prostitute was so realistic. (ex: Ashley Dupre/Eliot Spitzer) OT: Did you hear Tommy Hilfiger had a party or something and she wanted to attend? He said no thanks but she would not be welcome. He does not want that kind of press.

It was just a really great drama. Can't wait for the next episode. Tired there is probably more but my mind is all........ .

The Shallow Stuff: Loved Julianna Marguiles her hair is so beautiful. Loved what she wore their wardrobe department did a great job in dressing everyone. Oh except for that tweed number she wore in the beginning it was to dreary.

The shot at the beginning with Alicia staring at that piece of lent was great to.

I'll think of more later.

Wanna and Puddycat can't wait to here your views and anyone else.

No problem Keep.

I know I did the same thing. I did not want it to end so I watched the credits something I never do. When I saw their names I was like okay now I know. Also I want to give credit to the Michelle and Robert King who created and wrote the show.

It was just so good.

I agree with everything you just said. It was amazing how beautiful she was after getting the whole tweed and standing beside her husband thing over with. There was on thing I did not like that judge at her case. He was quite a jerk to her. I kept wanting her to go up and slap him too. In the previews it shows a case with another judge next week so maybe this one is history.

Yes the judge was a jerk but at least he was giving her a chance a small chance. I wanted her to slap those district attorneys they were so smug and arrogant. But she handled them I loved it. I adored the scene with her working with her son on the surveillance tape. I do think there will be a different judge which good.

The Judge....I wanted to smack the Prosecution and the liard of a Security Guard!

Every minute even before she could finish her sentence he was like "I object"....great acting that made we want to give him a virtual slap!

I'm thinking they are showing another judge to show how you don't get the same judge all the time for every case.

I like her assistant that does the P.I. work and the comment about the phone number...lol She is a hottie

But could you believe that Security Gaurd.....too much....to think the girl could of went to jail because of his lies...just to protect his job.....shame and the dog hairs/cream that was not investigated...what was the word the cops used for evidence they thought was not worthy to be submitted......

I love a show that challenges the mind...very good job they did with this 1st episode!

Great acting by all!

That voice message sent chills down my spine...wonder how she felt hearing from him.......

The security guard got on my nerves before I found out about the tapes. Him yelling his secretaries name he was just a pig and he was rude. Loved how she knew to go to the secretary and get information out of her but in a nice way. She was slick "oh the machine spitted out an extra one" that was good.

Loved her investigator person to she really worked it. She was so helpful and she came to learn that Alica was the real deal. She was stuff to I liked that and intelligent. Just what Alicia needed.

The pit.... the stuff the cops don't need is pitted. I mean how could they not check out the dog hairs or just check the video again?

Who decorated her office at the end it was cute?

On of my favorite scenes was the one in the kitchen with the MIL. When Alicia told her she had washed his clothes for fifteen years/cooked dinner and never asked any questions because she thought she didn't have to. He was only thinking of himself not his family so her concern was going to be her children not him. I was like yes I loved when she said that.

The phone call at the end has me curious. I felt bad for her because she had just one her first case got the job to work on the other case. Nobody thought she could do it and she stuck it to those district attorneys. Then her husband calls with this his mess......... .

Right when she is up she gets dealt another blow. Can't wait for the next episode!!!

Oh did anyone catch the posters hanging in the daughters room it was interesting. When I was her age I had Justin Timberlake and Usher hanging in my room.

Yeah, you hid your distate very well!

Unfortunately I heard they are going to preempt next week's episode for a Sarah Palin Special.

What Sarah Palin special?

Well I will definitely not be watching next Tuesday night. I will probably just watch Sons of Anarchy because I missed it last night it comes on the same time as The Good Wife.
