Offbeat show's viewers will want to remember new 'Samantha Who?'
By Chuck Barney Contra Costa Times
Published on Sunday, Oct 14, 2007
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.
Other bets

Monday: Hard to believe, but TV's top-rated comedy, Two and a Half Men, has reached its milestone 100th episode. The plot has Charlie getting ever so close to consummating his relationship with Linda, but he begins to see Rose's face everywhere he turns. 9 p.m., CBS.
Tuesday: They came, they emoted and they did their love scenes. Now we'll finally find out who's destined for daytime TV glory during the Season 4 finale of I Wanna Be a Soap Star. One lucky winner will walk away with a 13-week role on NBC's Days of Our Lives. 11 p.m., SOAPnet.

Meanwhile, there's trouble for Tracy as his wife (Sherri Shepherd), announces a new plan to shadow him at all times to make sure he's behaving. 8:30 p.m., NBC.
Thursday: Viva Laughlin is one of the strangest new shows of the season. It's a drama-mystery with music (Oh no, shades of Cop Rock!) Lloyd Owen stars as freewheeling businessman whose attempts to open a new casino are hampered when his ex-business partner is found murdered. He's also known to break out in song at a moment's notice. Hugh Jackman and Melanie Griffith guest star. 10 p.m., CBS.
Friday: Will The Next Great American Band be the next great reality show? The folks behind American Idol apply the formula to an ensemble format and hope for similar ratings results. Us? We just want to turn up the volume and rock out. 8 p.m., Fox.

Saturday: If you missed Damages, one of the most criminally addictive dramas of the summer, don't sweat it. Just cancel all your plans and catch Glenn Close and company in a 12-hour Damages marathon. That will get you all primed for the show's Season 1 finale on Oct. 24. 8 a.m.-8 p.m., FX.
