Product Information
Samantha Newly (Christina Applegate) may have survived a hit-and-run car accident, but her memories weren't so lucky. The young executive awakens from a coma to find that she can't remember a thing about her own life. SAMANTHA WHO? follows Sam as she begins to uncover unsavory truths about the girl she used to be; when she reacquaints with friends and family, Sam learns that she was an alcoholic, a cheater, a liar, and an ungrateful daughter. With a clear picture of who she was, Sam begins to view her amnesia as a new lease on life, and commits herself to being a better human being. The first series finds Samantha reuniting with her alienated parents, Regina (Jean Smart) and Howard (Kevin Dunn), her party-girl best friend Andrea (Jennifer Esposito), and Dena (Melissa McCarthy), an old acquaintance pretending to be one of Sam's closest pals.Product Identifiers

Additional InformationChristina Applegate stars in quick-witted critically acclaimed sitcom SAMANTHA WHO? as the title character Samantha 'Sam' Newly, who after being stuck down in a traffic accident, awakens from an eight-day coma suffering from 'retrograde amnesia', with no memory of who she is nor who she's been. Slowly but surely, Sam confirms that she's 30 years old, the vice president of the real-estate firm Chapman and Funk, and the ex-girlfriend of a photographer named Todd (Barry Watson). Sam's post-coma personality is one of pure sweetness and light--which greatly confuses her friends, family members, and business associates, who recall the pre-coma Sam as mean, overbearing, manipulating, vitriolic, and a hard-drinking, promiscuous party animal. It's up to Sam to remain as nice and pleasant as she now is, or to revert to her previous nastiness. Helping her put the pieces together are apartment-house doorman Frank (Tim Russ), who had often been the recipient of the 'old' Sam's bitchiness and has a lot trouble reconciling himself to the 'new' Sam. Others in the heroine's orbit are her resentful mother Regina (Jean Smart, 24) and her too-affable-to-be-true father Howard (Kevin Dunn, TRANSFORMERS); her best friend Andrea (Jennifer Esposito), an accomplished conniver and back-stabber in her own right; and her former childhood buddy Dena (Melissa McCarthy, GILMORE GIRLS), who has her own special reasons for hanging around to see which of the 'two' Sams will ultimately prevail. Co-created by novelist Cecilia Hearn, this release of SAMANTHA WHO? includes every episode from the first series, along with a behind the scenes tour with Golden Globe nominee Applegate.
