‘Samantha Who?’ Takes Over ABC Thursday Comedy Hour
July 2, 2009 by Chandra
Now that ABC has pulled poorly performing rookie sitcom In the Motherhood yet again, it’s up to Christina Applegate’s sophomore comedy Samantha Who? to carry ABC’s Thursday-night, summertime comedy lineup. I have faith.
Coming up tonight, July 2, on the series are the two fresh episodes “Todd’s Job” and “The Sister.” The first features former Girlfriends and All My Children cast member Dondre Whitfield, who just happens to be married to Eureka star Salli Richardson-Whitfield, and the second has guest stars Christine Ebersole of USA Network’s breakout hit dramedy Royal Pains and Florence Henderson of Brady Bunch fame. Woot!
Follow the jump for episode details…
On “Todd’s Job” at 8pm ET, Samantha is determined to sabotage Todd’s competition for a newspaper photography job after she realizes she may have kept him from becoming a successful photographer back before amnesia made her less of a bitch.
Elsewhere, Regina puts Dena’s house on the market — yes, without Dena’s permission — so she can keep making her real estate partnership with Samantha seem real.
Then on “The Sister” at 8:30pm, Samantha makes the surprising discovery that she has both an aunt named Amy and a grandmother named Loretta, both of whom nobody ever mentioned after she developed amnesia because of a long-time family feud between Regina and her sister.
Meanwhile, Andrea’s popularity with Tony Dane’s fans takes a huge nosedive when they start believing she’s a jinx. Apparently, every time she goes to one of Dane’s basketball games, his team loses, so “jinx” sounds about right to me.
Samantha Who? airs Thursdays on ABC at 8pm and 8:30pm ET.
