According to Ausiello Files, Cosgrove will play Sloan, a pop star who hires Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) after being arrested and charged with a DUI.

"We're big 'iCarly' fans, so we really couldn't think of anyone better for this role than Miranda Cosgrove," Robert King, executive producer of 'The Good Wife,' said. "We were thrilled when she agreed to do it. It'll be fun to see her handle both the comedy and drama in the role, and we can't wait to see how she'll play across from Julianna."

Look for Alicia and Sloan to bond during the high profile trial. The episode is scheduled for Nov. 16. 'The Good Wife' premieres Sept. 28 at 10PM ET on CBS.

Well, we were promised answers. And we didn't really get them. This was the two-hour season finale of 'Persons Unknown' (Sat., 9PM ET on NBC). Considering that the show has gotten incredibly low ratings, it seems highly doubtful that it will be back next year. Thus, this is essentially our series finale as well. So, were all the loose ends tied up?

What would you do if your lover had his mind erased? And then what would you do if he flew into a murderous rage every time someone touched him? It would kind of mess up a relationship, right?

This is the issue on 'Persons Unknown' (Sat., 8PM ET on NBC).

[Spoiler alert.]

During the latest episode, Joe (Jason Wiles) gets his mind "reprogrammed." Unfortunately, this has some serious side effects. Such as erasing his memory. ... And also making him psychotic whenever he comes in contact with another person.

Sadly, this doesn't work out too well for his blooming love affair with Janet (Daisy Betts). When Janet comes close to him, Joe grabs her and is about to toss her over the edge of a building. Not good. See? We told you that this whole thing could be problematic.

For weeks now, we've been searching for info about what has happened to our heroes on 'Persons Unknown' (Sat., 8PM ET on NBC). Now, we get another little piece of the puzzle.

[Spoiler alert.]

During the episode, Joe Tucker (Jason Wiles) was zapped, tortured, and "reeducated" by "the Program"; the mysterious group who seems to be behind this whole abduction thing. Joe is the only current member of our group of good guys who is a confirmed double-agent -- he has worked for the Program.

A group of strangers are held captive is a mysterious town -- a town from which there is no escape. Then, it turns out that one of the so-called "prisoners" is in on the whole deal. That's the story so far on 'Persons Unknown' (Sat., 8PM ET on NBC).

[Spoiler alert.]

Joe Tucker (Jason Wiles) is a member of the organization that kidnapped our heroes and brought them to the town. Now, Joe wants out. However, getting out may not be so easy. In the course of the episode, we learn that the organization has existed for fifty years, and has kidnapped thousands of people.

Because of his rebellion, the organization decides to murder Joe. Tom (Reggie Lee) is sent to do the job.

Which is when Janet (Daisy Betts) shows up. Tom is holding Joe at gunpoint inside a restaurant. But Janet splashes a pot of hot fat all over the bad guy. Tom catches fire from the stove, and becomes engulfed in flames. Ouch! Not a good way to go.

A strange, semi-deserted town. A group of strangers who wake up one day in a hotel with no idea of how they've arrived there. A sinister, overarching conspiracy which our heroes cannot understand.

'Persons Unknown' (Mon., 8PM ET on NBC) is the new 'Lost'-style series involving a group of random people who must unravel an ongoing mystery. They're trapped in a small town which is surrounded by an invisible "gate" that will kill them if they cross it. So our group of heroes must work together to survive. And no one understands what is going on. ... Or so you would think.

[Spoiler alert.]

NBC has a mystery on its hands. Seven people are inexplicably abducted and transported to a ghost town in the new summer series 'Persons Unknown' (Mon., June 7 at 10PM ET). They have no idea what they're doing there or how they're connected, but they have 13 episodes to figure it out.

Among those unlucky captives is veteran actor Jason Wiles of 'Third Watch' fame. Wiles plays Joe Tucker, a mysterious character (obviously) who becomes the leader of the pack. Not much is being realized about this new mystery series, but one thing is clear: It's intense.

Wiles chatted with TV Squad about his new role, keeping the mood light on the intense set and why he's always in dramatic roles.

At first I thought this was a movie, but it's actually a weekly series. NBC has picked it up for 13 episodes. It's about a group of people who are mysteriously kidnapped and wake up in an apartment building being watched and studied by...someone. Personally I don't know what they're complaining about, the apartment and the town look pretty nice to me. People are so hard to please these days.
