Samantha Who?

After a car accident gives Samantha (Christina Applegate) amnesia, she has to start her life all over, while gradually discovering her past. In truth, she was a partying mean girl. Now she has to deal with the consequences. This one stars Jennifer Esposito and Melissa McCarthy as her friends. Kevin Dunn and Jean Smart play her parents.

It makes for an interesting premise that would allow her to redeem herself in every episode. Christina Applegate is a lovely and compelling actor. This show definitely showcases her skills and personality. Sadly it lasted only 2 seasons. I think it had some more steam left in it.

Recently rewatched this as I remembered quite liking it the first time around. The whole cast compliments each other well, but in my opinion Jennifer Esposito steals the show in every scene she's in. Her portrayal of Andrea is hilarious. Why this show didn't last beyond two seasons is beyond me.

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!

The show only lasted 2 seasons and probably could've only really eeked out another season or 2 on the premise it had. But for what it was it was very entertaining when it did last. Christina Applegate is in her best role since being Kelly Bundy on Married with Children. Christina is far better and more charming in this role then she is in her current role on Up All Night. Melissa McCarthy and Jennifer Esposito are also really good in their roles as her best friends with Kevin Dunn and Jean Smart both really solid in the roles of Samantha's parents. The show was good since you could see Samantha really making an effort to change her life but you also got to see flashbacks of when she used to be a total b*tch.
