Samantha Who?
Samantha Who?
Premieres: Monday, Oct. 15
Airs: Mondays at 9:30 p.m.
The Pitch: Funny, but not so funny you'll forget to laugh.
Samantha Newly (Christina Applegate) wakes up from an eight-day coma with retrograde amnesia, unable to remember any details of her life. Which is not such a bad thing, as she slowly starts to discover that she was a pretty bad person before the accident.
What They Got Right: Applegate is very appealing as the confused Samantha, who's alternately pleased to have a fresh start and horrified as bits of her old self slip out. She's also surrounded by a fine supporting cast that includes Barry Watson, Jean Smart, Jennifer Esposito and Melissa McCarthy.
What's Oh, So Wrong: One has to wonder whether the premise has any real legs, or whether the slow drip of revelations about Sam's past will get old fast.
Recommended If ...: You're searching for a decent new comedy among this year's thin crop.
