Two Episodes of ‘Samantha Who?’ Coming Up

Good news! On Monday, ABC will give Samantha Who? fans a special holiday treat: two back-to-back episodes of the sitcom, courtesy of Dancing with the Stars’ season finale last week.

Unfortunately, the show will then go on hiatus for the holidays, until fresh episodes kick back in on January 12 next year. So, let’s just enjoy Christina & Company while we can.

The first installment on December 1 is called “The Park,” and it airs at precisely 9:02pm EST. Former Men in Trees star James Tupper reprises his quirky role as Sam’s rich philanthropist boyfriend Owen, whom Samantha tries and (miserably) fails to impress with her impromptu environmentalism. Sam’s best friend Andrea will also find herself in an undesirable position when she discovers that the pro-athlete object of her desire doesn’t consider her Numero Uno.

Take-charge Andrea plays a big part in “The Family Vacation” at 9:31pm, too, when Sam brings her and Dena along on a family trip following a devastating breakup. Too bad for the amnesiac that the owner of their accommodations, Brad (Raising the Bar’s Teddy Sears), turns out to be an old flame, whom Andrea promptly makes a move on while Sam hesitates to do the same. Ouch — great way to ruin a vacation.
