The Good Wife is an American television series that began in 2009 and is still going! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Wife
Now that Anthony and I have finished watching the British version of House of Cards, I decided to go shopping for something just as lengthy and discovered a box set of umpteen episodes of The Good Wife so I bought it.
It’s a great genre for Ants – legal drama, no blood, attractive actors of both genders, recognisable characters … ah and that’s where it gets interesting.
Okay, so we are into around our fifth episode of Season 1 of The Good Wife and there is a scene that triggers a memory for Anthony. He says something so I hit the pause button:
Me: What did you say?
Anthony: She used to be married to Alf.
Me: Who? You mean her? (pointing to the frozen screen of the television where the main actor in The Good Wife is smiling).
Anthony: Yes!
Me: Ants, we are watching TV!
Anthony: But I remember her and she was with Alf.
Me: Alf just got married two days ago but not to her.
Anthony: My mistake (sheepish grin). But can you just get the dogs out of the room?
Me: You’re hallucinating, Ants. There are no dogs in the room – it’s just you and me.
Anthony: I believe you but they’re still there.
Me: (giving him a hug) I have never loved you as much as I love you now, Ants.
Anthony: You’re a good wife.
Me: I agree – so can we keep watching our series?
