Samantha Who Sweet But Too Short

December 17th, 2007 at 11:35am Richard Pulfer

Featuring Christina Applegate (“Married with Children”, “Anchorman”), Samantha Who’s titular character emerges sweet and kind natured after an amnesia-causing accident, only to find her previous self wasn’t extremely well-liked, or remotely well-natured. Applegate does extremely well in the role of Samantha, who now must re-discover and re-invent every part of her life she worked so hard to create. There’s only one problem – the show seems to be missing a large chunk of its time slot just as Samantha seems to be missing a large block of her memory. A show like this really feels like it belongs in the hour-long format. In particular, certain characters, like the reoccurring doorman Frank (Tim Russ), feel too rushed and too random. Still, Samantha Who is funny and fresh – and that says a lot these days. Samantha Who airs Monday at 8:30 P.M.
