Offbeat show's viewers will want to remember new 'Samantha Who?'

Don't miss:
Samantha Who? Christina Applegate makes a welcome return to series television in this offbeat sitcom about a woman struggling to right the wrongs of her life after emerging from a coma. Applegate, who first caught our attention as naughty Kelly Bundy in Married . . . With Children, plays Samantha Newly, who, after an auto accident and a hospital stay, develops amnesia. Slowly, Sam comes to learn that she wasn't the nicest of people before the crash. She was superficial, materialistic and, apparently, she cheated on her boyfriend (Barry Watson). Now, she's determined to make good, despite the bad influence of a pal (Jennifer Esposito) who actually liked the old Sam and doesn't want to see her go. The cast includes the hilarious Jean Smart as Sam's self-centered mother. 9:30 p.m. Monday, ABC.
