User Reviews

Funny and nice and clever new comedy. Nice to see Christina Applegate again.

"ABC's" new hit comedy series "Samantha Who?" is certainly funny and the plot theme is centered around a neat concept of amnesia of a young lady named Samantha. It's something that we as viewers hope never happens to us, that being memory loss, and then all of a sudden we awake and slowly have to learn about our friends and family. This series begins just that way with Christina Applegate("Married with Children")as a female named Samantha who awakes one day from a coma with her parents by her bedside yet she doesn't know them! All memory is gone she doesn't even remember her life or friends or career, she must then rekindle her romance with boyfriend Todd(Barry Watson) and rework her friendship and partying ways with best friend Andrea(Jennifer Esposito). The big questions as the show goes on how will the new Samantha be a fun loving angel and nice girl trying to regain place of memory, or will she return to her devilish and partying ways of being promiscuous and wild. It's just great to see Christina Applegate working again she's actually more beautiful than she was on her "Married with Children" days. Also Jean Smart and Jennifer Esposito give good supporting performances. This series is one of the better new ones that's funny and charming, and it's interesting to follow along the characters new rediscovery of life, love, and most of all to find out who she really is.
