Topic: The Good Wife

The hosts review several new television series, including Amazon's "Billions" and HBO's "Vinyl." "Billions" is criticized for a graphic opening scene, while "Vinyl" is described as slow-moving and "sluggish" despite its music industry pedigree. "The Good Wife" is praised for its structure but dismissed as a "prime time soap opera" that the hosts prefer to avoid in favor of C-SPAN.

White House advisor Valerie Jarrett makes a cameo appearance on the television drama "The Good Wife," playing herself. In the scene, she encourages the lead character, Alicia Florrick, to run for State's Attorney. The appearance is criticized as an example of the "Hollywood-ization" of the Obama administration and Jarrett's significant behind-the-scenes power in Washington.
