More shows to love

Two more shows that have earned the coveted "series recording" status on the DVR:

"Modern Family," airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. on ABC. Al Bundy is back, and he's wearing a bedazzled hat. He's got a hot, young, Spanish speaking wife who people mistake for his daughter. He's also got two grown kids. His daughter's husband describes himself as the "cool" dad who texts and understands that WTF means "why the face." The gay son has adopted a baby and enjoys nagging his partner about being "too" gay. If jokes about gay people, Spanish speakers, Asians, old people, nerds, jocks, dads, moms and mall walkers offend you, don't watch this show. Best quote: "Don't worry, dad, nothing gay going on here."

"The Good Wife" airs Tuesday at 10 p.m. on CBS. Julianna Margulies stars as a woman scorned by her husband (Spitzer style). When hubby is carted off to jail, the stay-at-home mom heads back to the law office. I was worried I would hate this show because Naughty Husband is played by Chris Noth. I think we can all (Erin and Karly) agree that Mr. Big is not a villain, and I don't want to start envisioning him as one. Fortunately, Naughty Husband didn't remind me of my beloved Mr. Big, maybe it was the prison clothes? Anyway, I loved the show. And the plot is not just focused on man-hating. One of evil characters is a female lawyer who is accused of mentoring women until they become competent (i.e. competition).
