CBS long-running TV series "The Good Wife" has not been getting "the good ratings" for quite a while now, giving people the idea that it could soon be cancelled.
CBS has not said anything about cancelling the show yet, neither has it expressed any plans of renewing "The Good Wife" for another season. According to E! Online, "The Good Wife" is one of those shows that needs to be "put out of misery." As written by the online publication, "How many partner permutations can one law firm go through before we don't actually care anymore? And while the political campaign storylines were fun at first, they've now become the scenes we sit through until we can watch Alicia and Cush Jumbo's Lucca Quinn kick ass in bond court."
On the other hand, TV by the Numbers has included numerical facts to back its prediction of the show's future. As of Nov. 29, in the CBS scripted show average data table, "The Good Wife" was presented with two sad faces. Its rating for viewers 18-49 is at 1.06 and sadly it's renew/ratings index is 0.66. Two sad faces mean that the show is "likely to be canceled by May 2016."
In terms of ratings, "The Good Wife" Season 7 is doing just fairly better than "CSI: Cyber," for which its status spells the the shows doom in May 2016.
"The Good Wife" debuted in CBS in 2009 starring Julianna Margulies as Alicia Florrick as the wife returning to work as a litigator in a law firm after her husband, former state's attorney, was incarcerated because of a humiliating sex and corruption scandal. The cast also includes Matt Czuchry as Cary Agos and Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart among others. The show is currently on its seventh season with it final episode airing on Dec. 13, 9 p.m. on CBS.
Do you agree it is time for Alicia and Cary to say goodbye?
