‘The Good Wife’ season 5: Christine Baranski (understandably) doubts musical episode

Admit it: Isn’t there a little bit of a part of you that makes you want to watch a musical episode of “The Good Wife“? Sure, it would be completely unrealistic for the show and a little bit random, but it is still fun to think about. (Hey, if “Grey’s Anatomy” can do it…)

So here is your verification that a “Good Wife” musical episode is going to remain the stuff of fanfiction only. Speaking in a new interview with E! News, Christine Baranski confirms that this is something that is probably never going to happen, and understandably so:

“Well, I keep joking because we have the most brilliant musical performers come on. In fact one day in court we had Michael Cerveris, we had Laura Benanti. I mean there’s just so many musical performers who come onto the Good Wife … I keep nudging the writers to do a Christmas episode, where like Alicia has a dream and all the characters are singing, but you just can’t do it on this show. It’s not that kind of show…I just don’t think so.”

The other thing to remember here is that “The Good Wife” has different ways to make some big event episodes, which for them typically means casting a ton of big-name guest stars This is the sort of show that can really get anyone, thanks largely to the Emmy prestige and the people who are already on board with it.

What do you think: Even if it probably would not work at all when you consider the amount of realism that this show relies upon, would you want to see a “Good Wife” musical episode?
