March Twenty-Second 2015’s Episode

I should have had this recorded on VHS. But it wound up on my laptop instead. I’ve decided that it will be with the regularly scheduled blog posts instead of the later VHS episodes. You’ll notice old VHS episodes posted a lot later than some other episodes. I never know when to update any of these blogs of mine, unless they are about Survivor. That one always has a clear time to update. Also, I still don’t know if I’ll create a blog about Battle Creek or not. That show is doing much worse in the ratings than this show is. This show is always on the bubble but has not yet been canceled. I have the feeling that another network would be likely to pick up this show if CBS cancelled it. But I’ve been wrong before and know with absolute certainty that I will continue to be wrong about other things from time to time. I just hope that it moves to another show on network television as I would not be able to watch this show on a network that I’d have to pay to watch. Don’t expect a bubble show to stay around forever. Just be grateful for whenever it does. Anyways, the rest of CBS midseason besides Battle Creek is actually doing quite well. Plus, you may notice a scheduling gap on Thursdays that they have. They could fill it with something, or it could stay until after May. I’m nerdy about television, so sorry if that ever comes out sometimes.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 35 minute delay. I’m surprised that it wasn’t accounted for in the epg because I know that March Madness would more than likely delay the start of the game. Guess that it wasn’t the same rule as football doubleheaders have. Sorry to anyone who missed the last 35 minutes of the show. DVR can always cause problems on Sundays on CBS. But you either already knew that or it doesn’t actually matter to you. We begin on Election Day. Alicia Florick prepares to vote. Diane Lockhart is stuck at some Republican event with her husband. People are concerned that Peter talking about how his wife has the election in the bag means that people won’t actually vote. She also has an acceptance speech written already, but not a concession speech. Honestly, if I ever ran for office, which I probably wouldn’t, I’d write both speeches before the election.

The second act has Alicia playing Halo with someone from her staff. I’ve never actually played Halo, although I don’t really like shooter games that much. Alicia is convinced that her husband doesn’t want her to win the election. Kalinda has problems of her own escorting that kid to school. I forget why she is doing this. Was that ever really explained? The problem might have been resolved, but it seems to create its own set of problems. Meanwhile, people are wondering how to best handle the election at hand. To me, they normally seem worried about things that aren’t important. Well, maybe they are important in some way. But how? Also, does it concern anyone that the Halo microphones might have picked up the plans regarding robo calls?

The third act has Diane having a discussion regarding abortion. I do not support abortion, but I don’t like the fact that supports of abortions are labeled as baby killers. I mean, they only support the idea, right? They aren’t actually performing them or getting them, are they? Maybe it’s just a way of supporting my own political beliefs. There are things that one side gets right that the same side gets wrong about other things. Why is a fetus not considered human life? The only thing that can create human life is that of a fetus. Maybe it is just poorly defined what life is. Anyways, there’s more serious threats regarding the election and whether or not Alicia can win it.

The fourth act has Diane unable to eat something that she herself killed. Alicia continues to play Halo a lot. They must have a good product placement deal with them. Or they want us to show a different side of Alicia. Peter makes an unannounced speech that affects traffic in the area, preventing a lot of people from getting to the polls. The election is soon over and they’ll tell us who won after a commercial break. Of course, that’s where a real commercial break is put.

The fifth act tells us basically that Alicia won the election. Her campaign manager doesn’t really know what to do about his potential job in California (and his feelings for Alicia). Alicia wants her opponent in the election to work for her, probably just to keep him out of the way of any other political things that he could do.


On the next Good Wife, clients at Alicia’s firm get upset about her election, it seems. Considering how the editors frequently mislead us in their ads, then I don’t know what to make of things as usual. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
