CBS has several leading ladies ready to take on the little screen this Fall – here's the scoop on two new fall premieres:

ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE is a comedy starring Golden Globe Award winner Jenna Elfman as Billie, a single woman who finds herself "accidentally" pregnant after a one-night stand with a much younger guy, and decides to keep the baby… and the guy. A newspaper film critic, Billie is barely surviving a humiliating breakup with her charming boss, James (Grant Show), who's still trying to resume their relationship. Suddenly expecting a child with her "boy toy," Zack (Jon Foster), Billie and Zack make an arrangement: to live together platonically. Billie's party girl best friend Olivia (Ashley Jensen), and Abby (Lennon Parham), her conventional, younger married sister, eagerly look forward to the new addition and offer their own brands of advice and encouragement. But when Zack and his freeloading friends, including Davis (Nicolas Wright), start to turn her place into a frat house, Billie isn't sure if she's living with a boyfriend, a roommate, or if she just has another child to raise.

REVIEW:“Accidentally on Purpose” is funny witty, albeit tragically amoral. BUT, you can't help but enjoy Elfman's comedic talent and physical humor as she deals with an unexpected pregnancy, all the while thinking maybe she should react a little more strongly to her grandmother's urn being used as a smoke pipe. The character is obviously trying to make the best of a situation created and perpetuated by reoccurring judgment lapses, as pointed out by her “goodie two-shoes” sister – predictably made to look somewhat comical for her traditional values. On a scale of 1-5 (5 highest), I would probably rate it a 3.

THE GOOD WIFE is a drama starring Emmy Award winner Julianna Margulies as a wife and mother who boldly assumes full responsibility for her family and re-enters the workforce after her husband's very public sex and political corruption scandal lands him in jail. Pushing aside the betrayal and crushing public humiliation caused by her husband Peter (Chris Noth), Alicia Florrick (Margulies) starts over by pursuing her original career as a defense attorney. As a junior associate at a prestigious Chicago law firm, she joins her longtime friend, former law school classmate and firm partner Will Gardner (Josh Charles), who is interested to see how Alicia will perform after 13 years out of the courtroom. Alicia is grateful the firm's top litigator, Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski), offers to mentor her but discovers the offer has conditions and realizes she's going to need to succeed on her own merit. Alicia's main competition among the firm's 20-something new recruits is Cary (Matt Czuchry), a recent Harvard grad who is affable on the surface, but will use any means to ensure that he, not Alicia, secures the one full-time associate position that's available. Fortunately, Alicia finds an ally in Kalinda (Archie Panjabi), the firm's tough in-house investigator. Gaining confidence every day, Alicia transforms herself from embarrassed politician's scorned wife to resilient career woman, especially for the sake of providing a stable home for her children, 14-year-old Zach (Graham Phillips) and 13-year-old Grace (Makenzie Vega). For the first time in years, Alicia trades in her identity as the "good wife" and takes charge of her own destiny. Tony Scott, Ridley Scott, Robert King, Michelle King, Dee Johnson and David Zucker are the executive producers for CBS Television Studios.

REVIEW: “The Good Wife” was well-written and flowed easier as Julia Marqulies got comfortable with her role and relaxed into her character. She responded to the tensions and challenges of the role with the skill of a seasoned actress, complimented by the well-cast easy-on-the-eyes Chris Noth, who balances seriousness with a twinkle very effectively. This show dealt with the real life tensions of a family torn apart by the self-destructive actions of the father and the awakening of a woman who realizes she likes having a career and that the successes feel good and that life will never be the same again. Definitely a 4 on a scale of 1-5 (5 highest) and perhaps something I'll look for to record.
