NBC's loss is CBS' gain.

Within a day of The Michael J. Fox show being canceled, word has come out that the titular star has already booked  a new gig... at his old stomping grounds.

Sources confirm that Fox will appear on multiple episodes of The Good Wife Season 5 this spring, reprising the role of Alicia's frenemy in court, Louis Canning.

It's unclear at the moment just how Canning fill re-enter the fold. But might Peter need some legal help with his election rigging woes?

Ponder the possibilities and watch The Good Wife online right here and now if you need to catch up on this outstanding drama.
