"Samantha Who ?"
Posted by Ricky on 10-23-07 at 08:10 PM
This show is funny and quirky. Christina Applegate plays a lady with memory loss from a car accident and she has to find out who she was. She learns that she doesn't like who she was and tries to change herself. I was surprised at how well Christina carries the show as the lead.

I've laughed out loud (at least once) at both of the episodes I saw. That's more than I can say about any other sitcom these days.

Try it you might like it. It follows Dancing with the Stars on Monday Nights (9:30 EST).

I've always liked Christina Applegate's acting and am enjoying this show as well.

Not sure how it will work long term, but the waking up and getting an opportunity to look at one's life through fresh eyes is working well so far.

I enjoyed it only for simple laugh....no brainer entertainment.
Refreshing.

I loved the premiere, but I didn't think episode 2 was all that good. That seems to be the theme with the new shows this year though. They seem to pick back up around episode 4, so I will continue watching this one in hopes that it does the same.

ETA- I think what ruined episode 2 for me was the mom. I love Jean Smart, but I don't like this character she's playing. I guess it's supposed to be funny that she's so self-absorbed and clueless, but to me it's just mean.

I am enjoying the show. I like the cast. But I do wonder if it can keep up the premise for several eps (or seasons). It is similar to the movie "Overboard" with Goldie Hawn. Good idea for a movie. Just not sure it can last for a series.

It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a comedy as much as this one.

Sigs by Bob about chalk dust. Pretty exciting stuff

After a long break thanks to writers strike, this show finally starts back up Monday April 7, 9:30 (EDT). Please give it a chance.


Hope Monger

Before this show ends, I want to point out that it was one of the best comedies I've ever watched. Excellent show that, like Pushing Daisies, is leaving too early.
