5.0 out of 5 stars "I know you're in a hurry to get to work, but don't worry your street corner will still be there!", June 15, 2008

This review is from: Samantha Who?: The Complete First Season (DVD)

Girl gets hit by a car, girl loses memory of everything before the accident,girl finds out that she was a VERY mean person, girl has a change of heart now that she has a chance to start over, gril wants to be nice and correct the mistakes that her mean self did before she lost her memory.

After watching one episode of this show I was laughing and wanting more. Christina Applegate is amazing in this. Her acting is just so dead on making you laugh at how she exaggerates everything. Jennifer Esposito (who plays Andrea, Samantha's best, and only, friend before her memory loss) is also very funny in this because she basically plays a friend that is always drunk/hung over and very mean.
Samantha's parents in this are just hysterical because they are the typical mom and dad that are still treating their adult daughter like a child and ignoring her opinions and driving her crazy.
Even though a lot of people are saying that the story is not very original, I think that they get a lot of mileage out of it.
If you aren't sure that you will like this show after (at most) 2 episodes watch it on abc.com first and then decide whether you want more.
I am absolutely getting this because it kept me laughing through the whole episode. Even though the episodes are less than 1/2 hour long, I think that it is a good way to keep people begging for more. I nearly lost my mind one week when ABC announced that it would instead air "Dancing With the Stars" for the entire night!

It's been a long time since a sitcom has been worth sitting down for every week for me. The canned laugh tracks, the forced jokes become a bit much. Samantha Who is refreshing in it's candor and wit. The jokes don't feel like they're trying too hard, the chemistry between everyone in the cast is undeniable, though some of my favorite scenes are the ones between Frank and Samantha. Every cast member pulls their weight and they feed off of each other. Christina Applegate, Jennifer Esposito, Jean Smart are hilarious, not to mention Suki ( I don't know the actor's name, she will forever be Suki from the Gilmore Girls to me) and her adorableness.
Samantha lost her memory after a car accident and for most of the first season we're treated to a loveable, mildly ditzy, but ultimately charming girl struggling to piece together the puzzle of herself. The answers she finds are shocking and dismaying to say the least.
