I really, really liked "Samantha Who?" Christina Applegate produced it herself, she's a good actress, and I like the way it's unfolding. It kind of reminds me of "Stranger Than Fiction" with Will Ferrell because none of the other characters seem to be connecting with the main character and really understanding what s/he is experiencing. I can relate to that. Plus, it was totally absurd, yet believable, and very funny. Jean Smart*, as Samantha's mom , was entertaining as well.
Clearly, Samantha is going to reconnect in some way with Todd because his building's doorman, Frank, played by Tim Russ, is in the title credits and was the one character with which Samantha did seem to make a connection.
BTW, Russ' co-star from Star Trek: Voyager, Robert Duncan McNeill, directed this pilot. Kudos!
Riddle me this, Batman...
Where would any of us be without Star Trek?
Where would TV be without Star Trek?
In the last week I've seen enough Trek alumni on brand new episodes of current TV shows to man an away mission, and I didn't even watch any Trek! Star Trek pwns H-wood.
*Extraneous Trek reference: While looking up Jean Smart on IMDb, I noticed one of the posts in her dedicated message board mentioned that she looks a lot like Kim Cattrall, who was in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. How weird is that?
