Critic Reviews

Nancy DeWolf Smith

It's a bit old-fashioned, which in today's TV universe makes it seem light and fresh--like the entrancing Ms. Applegate herself. Read full review

Hal Boedeker

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

Robert Abele

Beyond its title, I have no quibble with this well-made, sly, heartwarming and at times giddily funny show. Read full review

Adam Buckman

As appealing as Applegate is, the show itself struggles to produce laughs. Read full review

Doug Elfman

Samantha is more of a smiler than a laugher. That's fine. But the comedy straddles straight-up storytelling with clumsy moments of broad comedy (no insulting pun intended). Read full review

Melanie McFarland

The only person with untainted clues as to the person Samantha really was is the doorman to her apartment building, Frank (Tim Russ), and the combination of all these factors creates a premiere that is as pathetic as it is occasionally funny. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Halfway through the premiere, the basis for the entire show is already worn thin. Read full review

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's character.
