Amazon.com

Just as funny as the first season of the sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine, this second season features 22 hilarious episodes of social and sexual tension as only Julia Louis-Dreyfus can deliver them. Old Christine's relationship with her ex-husband Richard (Clark Gregg) and his new girlfriend New Christine (Emily Rutherfurd) may be leveling out, but there's lots to add: The continued scorn of the meanie moms at her son Ritchie's school, the lure of the new and very hot teacher Daniel Harris (Blair Underwood), brother Matthew's new aspirations to make something of himself, her friend Barb's marital problems and burgeoning interest in Christine's business, and several questionably compatible dates, including New Christine's father Jeff (Scott Bakula), making the scene ripe for love, misunderstanding, and a host of inappropriate remarks and actions. The sense of sincerity and genuine awkwardness in Dreyfus' Emmy-winning portrayal of Old Christine makes this series incredibly funny, and good writing ensures that viewers can relate to Christine's every predicament; whether she's propositioning Ritchie's new teacher, seeking casual sex with Stan the Sad Dad, or dealing with her own inability to get a good night's sleep. Bonus features include unaired scenes on each of the four discs and a blooper gag reel. --Tami Horiuchi

Studio description

Christine is back with 22 new-to-DVD episodes loaded with laughs, life and dating disasters. In Season 2, getting along with New Christine has gotten easier. Juggling work, motherhood, friends, an ex-husband, a slacker brother and the meanie moms at her son's school hasn't. Nor have affairs of the heart, as Christine wrestles with romances past (discover why Stan the Sad Dad has such allure for Christine), present (a great guy who just happens to be the New Christine's father) and, she hopes, future (Ritchie's hunky new fourth-grade teacher). Every day is an adventure, Christine - ready or not!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sooooooo funny! A brilliant show ;-P, April 20, 2008

By	Little Miss Cutey (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This remains one of my absolute favourite comedies. It's so funny that I even laugh at reruns I've seen here. This season is, to me, even funnier than the first and in season 2, we see Blair Underwood who is not only so good looking, but also very funny too. He plays Mr Harris (a teacher of Richies) who Christine develops a crush on. That story in itself makes this season worth watching. Here is they was that the episodes pan out in season 2;
THE PASSION OF THE CHRISTINE - Christine and Richard get back together, more out of convenience than out of passion. But the guy she really has the hots for is Richie's new teacher.
THE ANSWER IS MAYBE - Christine tries to get New Christine to take Richard back, just to keep him from going after an even younger, hotter woman. And in the process, she finds a new man of her own.
COME TO PAPA JEFF - Christine freaks out when she finds out that she's dating New Christines dad - which means if they got married, she could become Richards stepmother.
OH GOD, YES - Ritchie stars asking questions about religion, after Richard and New Christine take him to church, so Christine reluctantly decides it's time to take him to church herself.
SEPARATION ANXIETY - Christine tries to help Barb when she learns she's splitting up with Pete, but Christine doesn't understand why Barb isn't more depressed.
THE CHAMP - Christine hooks up with Stan one more time. She knows that he's pathetic and she could do so much better, but there's something about him she can't resist.
PLAYDATE WITH DESTINY - (one of my favourite episodes) Christine wins a playdate for Ritchie with Mr Harris, which only complicates things for her because she has a crush on him and he can't date parents.
WOMEN AND TUITION - Christine tries to find ways in which to cut back on costs when Ritchies tuition increases.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - When Richard forgets to complete Richie's mission project, Christine and Matthew scramble to finish in time for the deadline the next morning. Matthew is kept on hold for numerous hours waiting for the Internet text support to help with his problem.
WHAT ABOUT BARB? - Christine and Barb have a hard time agreeing on some aspects of running the 30-minute work-out gym they now own together.
CRASH - Christine and Marly have it "out" when they get into a car smash in the school parking lot.
ENDLESS SHRIMP, ENDLESS NIGHT - Christine goes to one of Mathew's parties to help her get out of her rut, and Richard tries to get Ritchie to enjoy carpentry.
LET HIM EAT CAKE - Christine takes credit for New Christine's birthday present for Richard, which causes many angry issues to arise between the two women.
SLEEPLESS IN MAR VISTA - While on sleeping pills, Christine makes a number of embarrasing phone calls she doesn't remember making.
UNDERCOVER BROTHER - Christine learns a secret about Richard's brother after an awkward kiss.
STRANGE BEDFELLOWS - After Richard tells Christine that she's setting a bad example by not taking interest in the upcoming election, Christine starts being more conscious about the environment. She tries to get signatures for a petition at a supermarket and tries to vote, although she knows nothing about the candidates.
THE REAL THING - When trying to send a dirty email about Mr. Harris (guest star Blair Underwood), Christine ends up sending it to all the parents in the school, almost getting Mr. Harris fired. Christine is also set up with an architect Tom (guest star Dave Foley) who works with Richard. Richard shows Barb (recurring star Wanda Sykes) and Matthew Richie's birth video.
FAITH OFF - Matthew helps Christine discover that Richard isn't the same irresponsible guy he was when they were married, after her irresponsible behavior causes him to lose a job.
MY BIG FAT SOBER WEDDING - Christine ruins a friend's wedding when the groom says her name while toasting the bride, and Richard tells New Christine during the reception that he doesn't want to get married again.
FRIENDS - While shadowing Ritchie, who is on a camping trip, Christine gives Richard some bad advice about getting New Christine back--which only winds up getting them back in bed together again. And Matthew discovers he may be sexually attracted to Barb.
FRASIER - Christine thinks she's pregnant after her encounter with Richard.
If you have ever seen the first season, or want a great comedy in general, this is one to buy. Julia is amazing as the New Christine and it's a fantastic show that you can see again and again. I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is what real sitcoms are (or should be) about!, April 22, 2008

By	Eric A. Klee "gapkid" (Charlotte, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

My love for the comedic, clumsy Christine Campbell has overcome my love for the sarcastic Elaine Benes. Julia Louis-Dreyfus portrays Christine Campbell to a T, making me forget all about Elaine's witticisms. For every rung on the ladder Christine climbs, she falls down two more. Christine isn't the "straight" character with a lot of goofy sidekicks. SHE is the main attraction herself and is not to be missed. Her friends and family merely augment her wackiness. The addition of Wanda Sykes only makes Christine's antics more hilarious, and when they're together, they become modern day Lucy and Ethel.

On the rare occasions that CBS actually puts new episodes of "Christine" on the air (hello, full season, anyone?), I am there. And I will continue to buy her DVDs for as long as they make them (which, sadly, I doubt will be for long with greedy, CSI-loving, reality show-doting CBS execs in charge).

In the meantime, please purchase a copy of "The New Adventures of Old Christine" and show your support! You won't regret it! It won't hurt your wallet -- only your sides from laughing too hard!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic sitcom...pick this one up!!!, April 25, 2008

By	Patrick Gilchriest (Syracuse, NY) - See all my reviews

Words really can't describe how much I love this show, but I'll try. Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the entire cast bring this show to life with their brilliant acting. There is nothing quite like watching Julia or the hilarious Wanda Sykes bringing a line to life. This show is not only extremely funny, well-written, and well-acted, but it's also very relatable. Christine is a character who is trying to lead a good life. She wants to be a successful mother, friend, and general human being, but she finds herself in one embarassing or awkward situation after another...and then proceeds to dig her hole even further, with laughs and good humor from the audience all along the way. Some of my favorite episodes of the entire series are featured in this season, such as "Oh God, Yes," when Christine's aversion to organized religion is put to the test when her son wants to go to church, "Sleepless in Mar Vista" when Christine becomes the embarassing victim of sleeping pills and does things in her stupor that come back to haunt her, "Strange Bedfellows," where Christine tries to prove she can become more politically involved than just voting in American Idol, "Faith Off," where Christine ruins Richard's contracting job at the home of one of the "Meanie Moms" by going through her stuff, "Frasier," where Christine thinks a night of passion has led to pregnancy, and MANY more!

I am psyched to see that this is being released through Amazon, because I was afraid I wouldn't see this release at all, because unfortunately, this is a gem that has gone largely unnoticed. So please, pick up this DVD! If you are one of those who hasn't seen this show yet and you feel like there aren't any more good, quality sitcoms out there, then pick this one up and be prepared to be proven wrong. I give you a personal guarantee that you will NOT be disappointed! I know I can't wait to get my hands on my copy!
