'The Good Wife' Hulu Plus Debut: CBS To Put All 4 Seasons Up On Sept. 1

At one point it was exciting news to hear that CBS was bringing their shows to Hulu video streaming service. It was mostly because CBS would be joining the other major broadcast networks like; Fox, NBC, and ABC who were already equity partners for the video site.

But while CBS never did join the joint venture as an equity partner the company did agree to license their old programs to Hulu's Plus subscription service. When the news came last fall there wasn't much of an impact. Mostly because people weren't excited to watch old TV shows. But with the new announcement today from CBS perhaps it will have an impact this time around.

CBS announced that Sunday Sept. 1 one of the best shows on CBS, "The Good Wife," will be coming to Hulu Plus subscribers. To get more information on the details check out the press release below and take a look at "The Good Wife" press conference below.

Viewers can never get enough of Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies, "ER") who ignites the screen as the political wife whose world is shattered when her husband (Chris Noth, "Sex and the City") is caught in a sex and corruption scandal. Forced to support her family, Alicia returns to work at a Chicago law firm headed by Diane Lockhart (Emmy and Tony Award winner Christine Baranski) and Will Gardner (Josh Charles), a driven attorney with a passion for justice. A gripping blend of courtroom drama, politics and steamy personal relationships, "The Good Wife" also stars Archie Panjabi, Alan Cumming, Matt Czuchry, Makenzie Vegas and Graham Phillips and features all-star guest stars like Michael J. Fox, Matthew Perry, Martha Plimpton and Rita Wilson. Hailed by the Chicago Tribune for its "deluxe production values, smart writing, and outstanding array of actors," the series earned 30 Emmy nominations. 90 episodes of the legal drama will be available on Hulu Plus.
