CBS has the tough task of concluding "The Good Wife" Sunday in a way that will satisfy its very loyal fans.
Will Alicia Florrick stick to her very flawed husband or not?
Otherwise, it's a pretty quiet week. A couple of notable shows are back: CBS's final season of "Person of Interest" after "The Good Wife" on Sunday and and Netflix's second season of "Grace and Frankie" on Friday.
