Samantha Who? Premiere on ABC with Christina Applegate

Samantha Who? had its series premiere on ABC television Monday night, October 15, 2007. Samantha Who? will be airing on Monday evenings at 9:30 pm on ABC television network. The show stars Christina Applegate, with costars Jennifer Esposito as her friend Andrea, Melissa McCarthy as her old childhood friend, Barry Watson as Todd, her now ex-boyfriend, and Jean Smart, as Regina, her mother.

I have a few words to say about this Samantha Who?: funny, smart, and delightful!

I have a few words to say about Christina Applegate as Samantha Who?: great, at her best, witty.

I think the show Samantha Who? will go far. Yes, the series just premiered last night on ABC, but I can already tell it's a winner.

Why?

1. Laughter content. I have to admit, I don't laugh very often. When you see it, you've gotta remember it because it's so rare. The only other show that has made me laugh in the past six months, I would say, is The Office.

2. Christina Applegate's performance. Christina Applegate, as Samantha, did a spectacular job. This is her best show yet! I liked Married With Children, where Christina Applegate played a dumb-blonde teenager, but this didn't really do much for her other than to gain her great popularity. Then, there was Jesse, where she played a divorced Mother. The show was cute, but didn't last too long and wasn't hugely popular. Her acting was fine, but nothing shocking. With Samantha Who?, however, I think Christina will shine, and we will see all she has to offer. This will be her breakout role.

Christina Applegate in the first episode just was crazy! You didn't know what to expect next. It was freshly exciting to watch her in action.

3. Great writing. There were some really funny scenes in the first episode. My favorite had to be when she got thrown out of Alcoholics Anonymous because they thought she came in totally drunk (although she had had just one drink and actually had just lost her mind!)

These three things together, the laughter content, the great writing, and Christina Applegate are going to really give us a new hot comedy series for this Fall.
