TV Returns- Samantha Who?

Samantha Who? stars Christina Applegate as a formerly bitchy lawyer, who, due to an accident, has lost her memory. She tries to regain a life, but is shocked as she learns about who she was, and wants to be a better person.

I liked this show a lot initially, but I am starting to get a Little tired of the role of little girl that the writer's have Samantha acting like. It has become a little bit overdone...I would rather see her have lapses into her little girl confused persona as she deals with who she once was, and act like a confused adult more.

Aside from that, Applegate has comedic chops. She does a really nice job, and the supporting cast is great, including Jean Smart as her mother and Jennifer Esposito as her bitchy, narcissistic best friend.

The writer's have a chance to fall into the ridiculous if they don't watch out, and I hope they keep from going over that line. For now, Samantha Who? is fun.
