    The show employs a terrific cast and runs with a promising premise.

    Samantha Who? could easily be a complete mess. That it isn't is almost entirely due to Applegate, who brings sweetness, sarcasm and a steely edge to this story of a woman doing everything she can not to become the person she's always been.

    The jokes that spring from that laborious setup aren't all that funny.

    It takes a lot for me to laugh out loud, but I did it quite often during the first season of this show. I especially love Melissa McCarthy�39;s character.… Expand

    Great premise, but unless Samantha life progresses it will get boring very quickly. It's starting to already.
