The new Julianna Margulies vehicle/legal drama, “Canterbury’s Law,” starts 7 tonight on Fox. I haven’t seen it, but as far as I can tell from the commercials, it’s about Margeulies being pissed off at people. Sounds promising.

Reviews have been sort of mixed - Entertainment Weekly and Matt Rousch of TV Guide dig it, but Variety and the LA Times were far from impressed (the latter calling it a “Frankenstein’s monster of a dozen cop/law shows”).

I’ll check it out. I’ve been on sort of a legal drama kick lately - though I was at first lukewarm, I’ve been enjoying “Eli Stone” on ABC. I like the “he’s doing good things because he knows he’ll probably die soon” concept in fiction (I have very specific tastes), and it’s a good “quirky legal show” without being totally goofy like “Boston Legal” often is (which I still watch and usually enjoy, somehow). Though it is unsettling to see Species running around unchecked. One minute she’s working on a case, the next she’ll probably be shooting her tongue out the back of some poor guy’s head.

Plus, it’s good to see JM back on TV. Other than her role on “The Sopranos,” she hasn’t done much of notice since leaving “ER” in 2000, though she does hold the distinction (?) of appearing in both “Snakes on a Plane” and “Ghost Ship.”
