http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/16/SAMANTHA-WHO----Pilot-Episode.aspx Somedays, it’s like I’d be better off if I lost all coherent memories and had to start from scratch.  I guess I’m not the only person dying for a case of amnesia, Samantha (Christina Applegate) stars as a Psychiatrist woken up from a week long coma only to have retrograde amnesia.  How much can you really tell about yourself if all your memories have been wiped out?  Turns out not much.  When Samantha wakes up her selfobsessed mother, Regina (Jean Smart), is hovering over her with a video camera talking to the people from Home Makeover.  As Samantha says her first words her mother is asking her to repeat waking up because she missed getting it on camera.  Regina, the stereotypical bad mother, how charming.  Slowly Samantha realizes who she is now is not who she was.  Once discharged from the hospital she’s faced with having to go live with a boyfriend she doesn’t even know, the idea of living with a strange man versus a strange set of parents seems too much to bare and she decides to go home with her parents.  When she arrives at their house her best friend, Amanda (Jennifer Esposito) is waiting for her drinking champagne.  She tells Samantha she hates her mother and hasn’t spoken to her in over two years, this shocks Samantha into confronting her mother about their problems.  Samantha decides to trust Amanda and the two take off to the apartment she shares with Todd (Barry Watson) her boyfriend. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/16/SAMANTHA-WHO----Pilot-Episode.aspx 77 60
