Samantha Who?

I was not familiar with this comedy series. I had never even heard of it until I found it on Hulu. From reading the IMDb entry, I see that there were quite a few nominations for this series and its actors. Well deserved, I'd say!

It does take two or three episodes for the series to feel like all the pieces come together - but then they really do, wonderfully.

It's distracting while you are learning the premises of the story that the actors are so accomplished and talented. I did not know that Melissa McCarthy had this regular gig on TV, for example. Jennifer Esposito has always been one of my favorite comedic actresses, as well as Christina Applegate. Jean Smart surprised me in her role here. She plays characters who are usually a little more flamboyant and playing Sam's mother, she has dialed it back a notch. To great effect.

I laughed a lot watching this series, once I was hooked. When every episode has at least one quotable humorous line, I count that as a successful TV comedy. This series has that.

The series has held up very well over time. I recommend binge- watching with a martini (you'll feel right at home drinking along with the characters).

"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.

Did you enjoy 13 Going on 30? If so, you will certainly enjoy this sitcom. As it is impossible to watch Ugly Betty without remember The Devil Wears Prada, Samantha Who has an essence of 13 Going on 30. The best friend character have the same soul on both, and even the job of the guy is the same (photographer). But it is not a negative point. The central plot is great: if you wake up and discover how disgusting you were, could you change it? Besides, if you use to see TV series, here you can find actors from a lot of populars one, like Brian from What About Brian, Sookie from Gilmore Girls, Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager and of course, Kelly Bundy from Married with Children. I think this TV Series has potential to last for some seasons, and I hope they develop well this!

I wish there was more seasons of this! Watched a couple of episodes when it was first on, but bought the dvds recently and binged them - such a lovely show. It's light, funny, sassy, great actors and script. Love Christina Applegate and Jennifer Esposito, they are hilarious. We need more light-hearted shows like this!

Initially I was drawn to this programme purely for Christina Applegate because she has been hilarious in EVERYTHING! but after watching this I have realised it's not just her but in fact the whole cast that attribute to the comedy of the programme- Andrea's harsh bluntness, her parents extreme inappropriateness and Dena's general personality. As a combination, the cast creates a sweet programme filled with both laughs and a essentially poignant question- If we could, would we go back and change the people we are? The only possible problem I could have with the programme is actually how short it is, because sometimes i felt as though they could increase the comedy in situations. However, Fantastic stuff, please keep it up!
