First off, Canadian viewers will have to go the Global TV web site, specifically http://www.globaltv.com/thegoodwife/video/, to view the episode. CBS won't let those of us living north of the 49th parallel to see it on their web site.
Second, I definitely believe that one of the writers has to be of CRC background. People who aren't familiar with the CRC usually call us the Christian Reform Church, making it sound like we're in the business of trying to rehabilitate youth who have run afoul of the law. In addition, who else would pick this specific denomination? Or is it possible that the CRCNA has become the denomination people associate with the TeaPartiers? I sincerely hope that isn't the case.
Although I don't agree with the character's political or theological beliefs, it probably truly reflects the zeitgeist of the CRC in the Chicago area, where the series is based.
