Samantha Who

I watched the series premiere of Samantha Who. It’s a half hour comedy series starring Christina Applegate, and it’s about a woman who has amnesia. We begin in the hospital where Samantha is waking from a coma. Her mother is played by Jean Smart and her father is played by Kevin Dunn. She is released from the hospital and goes to her parents’ house where she meets her best friend. She realizes she cannot live with her parents and goes to her apartment which she shares with her boyfriend Todd, played by Barry Watson. It’s hinted they have some issues. She goes to a party with her boyfriend, where she discovers she’s cheating on him with a married man named Rene, whom she has no memory of even after he kisses her. She finds a 30 day AA chip in her purse and goes to a meeting where she can’t remember what foods she likes (which serves as a great analogy for everything going on in her life). She is asked to leave the meeting. She goes home and during the conversation with her boyfriend discovers he’d broken up with her just before the accident. I liked it and will watch it again.
