Weekend TV: 'Surprised by Love,' 'Good Wife'
Surprised By Love
Hallmark, Saturday, 9 ET/PT
So what do you do if your parents hate your driven boyfriend? If you're Josie (Hilarie Burton), you show up at their anniversary party with a handsome underachiever you think will make the other guy look good. She may be surprised by where Love is headed, but my guess is you won't be.
Galavant
ABC, Sunday, 8 ET/PT
Give credit to ABC for at least trying something different: In this case, a four-week, eight-episode musical comedy about an on-the-rocks knight trying to woo his ex-girlfriend away from an evil king. Unfortunately, nothing about Galavant quite lives up to the multiple spoofs it's copying, in part because it never seems to be quite sure what it's spoofing. You're left with a stab at something special that feels too childish for adults and too smutty for children.
The Good Wife
CBS, Sunday, 9 ET/PT
The Good Wife makes its winter return with Alicia headed to a candidates' debate and Cary headed to jail — plots that, on a lesser drama, might seem to be taking the show down an impossible road. But one of the many joys of watching a series that is running as well as Good Wife is that faith has been earned, allowing you to set aside those all-too-common fears that the writers don't know what they're doing. Because odds are, they really do.
