Since it is the "#1 Comedy on Television!"


Cutie tootie.

Samatha Who cares? I do, a little. Christina Applegate is hard not to like, concussed and cuuute in her hospital gown and curls. She wakes from her Sleeping Cutie slumber with pursed lips and retrograde amnesia. “Who are you?” She coos to her estranged parents. And that’s when the premise of the pilot is revealed: nobody gets it! Pooor, amnestic Samantha. When will her bad-girl/good-girl dilema be understood? Samatha, you see, has woken up with a conscience, which is conveniently embodied in the form of two friends — one, homely and good, the other, hot and very, very bad.

From her good friend Dena (Melissa McCarthy, Gilmore Girls) Samantha learns that, well, she wasn’t so good. From her bad friend/Eva-Mendes-look-a-like Andrea (Jennifer Esposito, Crash) Samantha learns she has a lover, a high tolerance, and lots of low-cut frocks. Thank goodness for badness and no laugh track, a formula that, thus far, seems to casually entertain.

Also, not bad, Barry Watson as Todd, Samantha’s shiny, studly, live-in boyfriend. Pick him! Viewers will say. Because Samantha, lip gloss, and sparkly party dresses go predictably well with old 7th Heaven and What About Brian stars.
