Julianna Margulies became a household name on 'ER,' but since nurse Carol Hathaway said goodbye to County General, we haven't seen too much of her on TV ... until now.As the titular character in 'The Good Wife' (premieres Tues., Sept. 22, 10PM ET on CBS), Margulies' Alicia Florrick is a woman shamed by the very public sex scandal her politico husband (Chris Noth) gets caught up in. With him locked up, Alicia goes back to work as a lawyer, juggling her career and being the sole breadwinner while still dealling with the public scrutiny.
AOL TV got the scoop on the new show from Margulies, then got her to dish on the ridiculousness that is posing for billboards and magazine covers, her plans for retirement and which late night guy she loves the most. Watch the full interview:

It was only on ONCE!!!! How can you say you don't care about the characters yet? And as for Chris Noth? I can watch Mr. Big as much as they want to put his face on TV.

My, don't we have a short attention span? Go back to watching Spongebob Squarepants, Casper - that sounds like it would be more your speed.

i thought the show was excellent, but Chris Noth can't keep up with Marguiles

I agre. I am tired of people being cheated on. I want to be entertained. Nothing like this ..NCIS is the best show on t.v. More shows like that. Ones with integrity, morals, action, excitement. More Gibbs please.

I truly enjoyed the show! Juliana M. can flat act! I think the writers are right on cue with Noth's character. We don't see him trying to make any amends to his wife for his atrocious behavior & his betrayal. He is just so self-cententered and arrogant that he doesn't even begin to comprehend her grief! Reminds me of Gov. Sanford, SC. What an idiot! I can't wait to see tonight's episode!

Anyone know how they cam to cancel Canterbury's Law? I thought it was quite good.

Wasn't she a lawyer in a show that got cancelled last year???? So I guess this is just a puff piece to promote her new show, and the writer wants us to forget her other mistakes.

The subject of the show was of little interest to me...I'm not much for the scandal and gossip..
But I do like Julianna Margulies...loved her on ER...so I gave it a shot.
She's a beautiful, intelligent actress and rises above the somewhat tawdry subject matter.
I think she will make this show a hit.
And Chris North is perfect as the self absorbed straying husband.
