| Moderator Manager   | Samantha Who #1 Samantha Who  Cast: Christina Applegate -Samantha Jennifer Esposito - Andrea Kevin Dunn - Howard Newly Jean Smart - Regina Newly Melissa McCarthy - Dena Barry Watson - Todd Tim Russ - Frank About What if you had the chance to start over, to do it all again? For Samantha Newly (Ms. Applegate), this fantasy becomes a reality after a hit-and-run accident leaves her in an eight-day coma. When she awakens in the hospital, she is surrounded by family and friends. The only problem is that she has no idea who they are - or who she is. In medical terms, Sam has retrograde amnesia, which allows her to fully function in the world but leaves her with no personal memories. Most people would deem this disorder a curse. But Sam may come to call it a miracle. As she sets out to rediscover herself, Sam is forced to rely on the only people who can help her -- an eclectic bunch of friends and family. Although now strangers to Sam, it's not long before she begins to get an idea of who she was before the accident. Regina (Jean Smart, "24," "Designing Women") and Howard (Kevin Dunn, "Transformers," "Dave") appear to be loving parents -- when they're not downplaying the fact that Sam hasn't spoken to them in two years. Her supposed best friend, Dena (Melissa McCarthy, "Gilmore Girls"), is sincerely supportive, until her real best friend, Andrea (Jennifer Esposito, "Crash," "Spin City"), exposes Dena as a fraud who hasn't seen or spoken to Sam since the seventh grade. Andrea is a party girl who seems to have Sam's best interests at heart. However in the midst of celebrating her return, Andrea neglects to mention that Sam's an alcoholic, is having an affair with a married man, and has a tendency for all-around morally questionable behavior. Sam's only seemingly trustworthy acquaintance is boyfriend Todd (Barry Watson, "What About Brian," "7th Heaven"). But will that trust last when he discovers that she cheated on him? Sam quickly discovers she was a horrible person. Vain, selfish and potentially surrounded by far more enemies than friends. She makes a conscious decision to improve herself moving forward. She vows to make better choices, even though her instincts may not always steer her in the right direction. She begins with Frank (Tim Russ, "Live Free or Die Hard," "Star Trek: Voyager"), the doorman at Todd's apartment building. Sam never gave him the time of day before, but upon actually saying hello to him, she discovers an incredibly observant and unlikely confidant. Sam will need to continue to piece together things from her past to guide her in discovering who she is... or was. After all, sometimes to get to the end of the story, the only place to start is the beginning. __________________ avie by linnea82 Last edited by Enigma : 10-29-2007 at 09:02 PM. | |||

| Melinator, I was just thinking about if FF had a thread for this show, thanks for staring it.  I adore Todd/Sam, they are soooooooooooooo cute! I loved him taking pics of mostly her, looking at the pics at the end...I bet he clicked 'save', and their dance, so romantic!  Barry is looking so hot on this show!  __________________ remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace | |||

| Moderator Manager | Anjinator  You're welcome. I had to. I'm loving the show.Carlie - Great minds think alike.  I loved the Todd/Sam dance tonight. And the way he looked at her picture at the end of the ep. And I agree, Barry is looking hot! I'll add to the opening tomorrow. ETA: Carlie............hope you don't mind I used your pic. __________________ avie by linnea82 Last edited by Enigma : 10-29-2007 at 09:03 PM. | |||

 So true. Gah, that is so funny. Thanks for starting it! I love Dena too. She's hilarious. However, I always find myself calling her Sookie. She was from Gilmore Girls. Andrea is funny in a "omg-you're-so-vain" kinda way. ETA: Not a problem. __________________ i cannot fix the hour, or the look, or the words, Last edited by Carlie06 : 10-29-2007 at 09:07 PM. | |||

| I remember when Barry's cancer made him puff up some in the face...probably from the chemo. He's looking so good now...I hope he remains healthy. It's obvious Todd and Sam are still in love with each other. Do you guys think Dena has fallen for him too, or was it just the booze? ETA: I keep wanting to call her 'Sookie' as well. __________________ remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace | |||

 I think her asking Sam about if Todd was a good kisser was a sign that she might have feelings for him. I guess she wanted to know if they had kissed that night?__________________ i cannot fix the hour, or the look, or the words, | |||

| Yeah, the ending was kinda vague...whether she was hinting around for seeing Todd still has feelings for Sam, or if she herself was starting to have feelings for him... Was Barry a last minute addition to the show or something, since he's not in any of the promo pics...or at least not any I've seen. Maybe they felt they needed a romance...which was a good move.  __________________ remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace | |||

| Elite Fan | Very true. Good question because I noticed that too. Although, there is one promo pic with just him. Either way, it was an excellent idea. __________________ i cannot fix the hour, or the look, or the words, | |||

| Oh good, I wasn't sure if he'd had his own promo pic (yet) or not, good to know he does.  He's definitely my favorite character on the show, and it just wouldn't be the same without him and Todd/Sam.__________________ remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace | |||

| Moderator Manager | Yeah, I keep looking at her as Sookie too. I'm so glad Barry is healthy and well now. He looks great and I'm just so happy for him. I think Dena was definitely fishing to see if he and Samantha had kissed. I think she does have a little crush on him. I didn't see the pilot. What was the whole deal with Sam/Todd? __________________ avie by linnea82 Last edited by Enigma : 10-29-2007 at 09:38 PM. | |||

| Melinator, did you mean if he and Sam had kissed...why would he have kissed Andrea? In the Pilot we found out Todd was going to break up with Sam for how she was, and then we'd found out she'd cheated on him, which gave him even more of an exuse to do so. janeway1390, have fun watching it tomorrow. __________________ remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace | |||

| Moderator Manager | Yep, I meant Sam Anjinator.........not Andrea. Thanks for filling me in. That is kind of what I had assumed based on what I've seen so far. __________________ avie by linnea82 | |||

| Elite Fan | Mel(that is your name, correct?  ) - Well, before the amnesia, they had just broken up because Old Sam and Todd did not mesh well. She was cheating on him and from what I can guess, barely spoke. He broke up with her right before she was hit by the car. That sums them up! ETA: Anji beat me to it. hee. __________________ i cannot fix the hour, or the look, or the words, | |||
