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.
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.
"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.
I waited hoping this would be a great show. Rarely in my life have less than thirty minutes been so lost to me as they have been tonight.
Here is an original idea. What if we all had the chance to forget the transgressions we committed in our life up to this time?
Did you enjoy 13 Going on 30? If so, you will certainly enjoy this sitcom.
Still,this clever,well-cast and quirky ABC sitcom could be considered at least a marginal,feminine take on the "BAd-person-has-extraordinary-even-show-them-error-of-their-ways" construct,a la "My NAme is Earl".The Samantha of the title(Christina Applegate,who just seems to get better with more experience)recovers from a blunt-force trauma but suffers from amnesia,which has her retracing her life through her parents(Jean Smart and Kevin Dunn),her friends(Jennifer Esposito and Melissa McCArthy)and her former boyfriend(BArry WAtson),all of whom seem to be somewhat in disbelief that such girl could have this pang of regret and need for redemption.
After watching all 35 episodes I can honestly say that this show is one of my all-time favourites. The ensemble of cast that was put together works extremely well, allowing for plenty of interaction between the characters and an inexhaustible creative freedom to explore the individual personas of each of them.
My sister made me watch in netflix with her, and I fell in love. Sam is hilarious.
