Filed under: TV News > Christina Applegate
Christina Applegate's new ABC sitcom, Samantha Who?, is a hit!
The show is one of the few breakout programs of the new season and has already been picked up for a full season. In fact, Samantha Who? is the #1 new comedy in America.
This Monday's airing got an impressive 15.4 million viewers. Ratings for the show have gone up each week, a sure sign of a hit.
Applegate had kind of been floundering lately, with many failed TV shows.
This comeback could not have come at a better time for her!

I've been watching the show in Oz, and loving it - a well written comedy with some great characters….
where are the record sales for britney….r u scared fat boy
i was just watching the second episode online yesterday and i found myself really hoping that the show would succeed! it's great! lots of dry, sarcastic humor which is increasingly difficult to find in today's dumbed-down sit-com. yay christina! love ya, dahling… (and she's looking really good, too!)
I LOVE THIS SHOW!! Christina is soooo funny!
6th bitches…who cares about christina applegate anyway?

YAWN. Who gives a shit.
5th bitches
Did you know that the show was either written or created by Celia Ahern, daughter of the Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) and that she is a successful novelist in the UK and Ireland?
Glad to see the show is a success, although her books suck
She is adorable, I love the show, such a natural. Keep up the good work
Congrats, Christina!!!
Many failed tv shows? Where do you get your information? You are an idiot this post really offended me. Her last tv show was Jesse and it ran for 2 years. Not really considered a flop. She has also had many successful movies.
Honestly, I did not think the show would be any good but i watched it last week and I laughed my ass off, its a GREAT Show!!
hey retard,
once again you've demonstrated your inability to get ur facts right. this is he first tv show she's had since the show Jesse back in 2001… but thanks for playing…
Yeahhhhhh!!! I LOVE this show! It is so funny and C.A. is PERFECT for this role! I am so glad it is gonna stick around!
the show is great! floundering? ya ever heard of broadway? jeez
Now there is an actress that still looks fantastic!
this show is not funny
Love Christina, but the reason for the impressive ratings is Samantha Who's lead in: Dancing With The Stars.
Really? I've never heard of this before. When did it even start???
Good for her, she's a brilliant comic actress who punches WELL below her weight (Jessica Simpson pop video…?) There's a limited number of women in Hollywood who are so beautiful and funny and X-tina is DEFINITELY in the Aniston/ Cox/ Diaz gang.
Great Show!
It's not a bad show, but I only watch because I am too lazy to change the channels after Dancing with the Stars.
I loved married with children, the TV show that made FOX and was historic, an antidote to the "Bill Cosby" Huckstables. However all her "ACTING" leaves me HO HUMM. I could be 100% wrong but she seems like an egomaniac jerk, but with her flat career, no one noticed. Her film's & failed sitcoms have been FLAT. She comes off as not genuine, like Jennifer Aniston. She should redo the SLUT Kelly. How about Married w/ Children 10 yrs later! Yes!
LOOKIN AT THE PIC I STAR TO THINK TO MYSELF "HMM…THIS WOMAN IS A COMPLETELY TALENTLESS FUCKIN HASBEEN". JESUS FUCKIN CHRIST WHAT A TALENTLESS IDIOTIC HASBEEN SHE IS. JUST GO GIVE BIRTH TO ANOTHER BABY OR SOMETHING BUT STAY OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT - YOUR TIME WENT BY IN THE 80S
Hey - first time on here, brilliant site. I love Christina Applegate, she's fuckin brilliant!
me and my girls LOVE this show … she relates to us on so many levels … w/ the shoe receipts in the matching purses - LOVE it … plus she is so purdy! adorable … so happy for her. i always thought she was a hit. she played kelly bundy brillantly and loved her in the Sweetest Thing .. hilarious … "what's up with you" "nothing, what's up with you".
I love this show! It is really funny!!
I love her!! I'm so happy for her!!
PEREZ, This is a great show. If you don't watch it, you need to start!
This show is absolutely hilarious and has a well rounded cast. Christina's biggest hit in ages. I still LOVE her form her "Don't tell mom the babysitters dead" ages. "I am right on top of that Rose"
According to IMDB she has only been on two television shows that were cancelled. There was Jesse which lasted two years and was also SEVEN years ago. Then she was in Father of the Pride, which was cancelled three years ago. She has had some movies that were flops, but that is true of most actor/actresses. Remember, she also took some time off from doing movies and television to star in "Sweet Charity" for which she garnered numerous award nominations. While the success of "Samantha Who" is somewhat a comeback for her it is more because she has been absent from TV not because she has experienced "many" failures on TV as you have stated. I realize it is tempting to overstate things in order to make the story more compelling, but it is somewhat irresponsible and ultimately not fair to the actress.
This show is hilarious! And Christina Applegate is a fantastic comedian…Kelly Bundy reigns supreme!
I absolutely adore xtina and am thrilled for her. The show is funny too! She has really perfected her comedic skills!
Re: HASBEEN –
You're an idiot.
It is a smart & funny show, and I found myself staying tuned while channel surfing in spite of myself. I'm glad it's #1! (see, I have good taste)
I loved her in Anchorman.
I loved her in Anchorman.
Maybe she can get Bud a job.
…and co written by the Irish Prime Ministers daughter Cecilia from her bedrom in Dublin Ireland.
I *heart* Christina Applegate. She is funny and beautiful! Congrats to her!
i like her in"married with children".she was very funny, as everyone in this sitcom.we still watch this show here in Greece.even nowadays.i think it's an all time classic.
Skanky cheating HO doesn't deserve it!…. wonder how the fisherman is….
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IF U HAVEN'T WATCHED IT, U R MISSING A VERY VERY FUNI SHOW……THIS GIRL IS THE BOMB AS SAMANTHA! LMAO
Good for her. I really enjoyed the show. She is someone who is naturally beautiful and talented. Congrats.
This is one of the funniest I've seen in a long time! I never liked her in Married With Children, but this one is great!!!
always a hot girl i wish her the best!!
always a hot girl i wish her the best!!
What the hell happened to her eyes?
Eye Carumba, she had bad blepharoplasty!
Perez, I think you forgot to mention the she also got nominated for a tony you fat fuck!
That's great for her, she deserves it!!
That show is fantastic and hilarious! Plus it helps that they got some of the best actors to play the roles.
i think this show is pretty funny.
Aww! Im so happy for Kelly Bundy! COngrats!
I love this show!
I LOVE HER! CONGRATS TO HER AND ALL HER SUCCESS. I WATCH THE SHOW AND IT IS GREAT.
Written by Celia Ahern,Irish Taoiseachs daughter!!Wayhey!
Come on Ireland!!
That show's ridiculous. And I like Applegate - but come on! How can they keep it going when its already SO LAME. If not for America's DANCING WITH THE STARS daze, this show would be in the toilet.
Yay for Samantha Who?!
HERE I AM AGAIN, THE BIGGEST FUCKWAD ON THE WEB! I’M SUCH A FUCKING ASSHOLE I HAVE TO SHOW JUST HOW FUCKING STUPID I AM BY ALL THE BULLSHIT COMMENTS I MAKE. AS EVERYONE KNOWS, THIS IS FROM MY LICKING MY OWN MOTHER’S CUNT & LETTING HER PUSSY JUICE RUN DOWN MY THROAT. OF COURSE MY FATHER HAS HIS COCK UP MY ASS AT THE SAME TIME! YUMMY! I SHOULD BE SORRY FOR ALL OF MY STUPID REMARKS BUT I AM WITHOUT ANY COMMON SENSE OR INTELLIGENCE. I WILL KEEP ON MAKING THESE FOOLISH REMARKS BECAUSE I AM SOOOO FUCKING STUPID AND SELFISH & MOMMA STILL WANTS MY TONGUE IN HER SNATCH. TASTES JUST LIKE RANCID CHICKEN!
I am happy for her! I love Christina Applegate!
It's not that good… but it is on between Dancing with the Stars and the Bachelor… I watch it for that reason and I bet lots of other people do too !!!
I love this girl! She is the awesomest~
OMG! MARRIED WITH CHILDREN WAS THE FUNNIEST SHOW EVER!! THEY MADE WHITE TRASH SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!! IWISH IT WAS STILL ON SO I COULD GO OUT AS PEG BUNDY…..COURSE YEARS AGO IN THE VILLAGE I'D HAVE BEEN ONE OUT OF A HUNDRED DRAG PEGS.
She's awesome! Beautiful and smart (contrary to her portrayal of Kelly Bundy). I attended a taping of "Married with Children" and she delivered all her lines with no retakes throughout the entire taping. She's hot and talented. (Is she single by any chance?).
Re: Jorge – I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I think she just went thru a divorce.
I enjoy the show a lot, but give credit where it is due: Jean Smart is hilarious!
I'm glad she has a hit show. I could never understand why her movie roles were always taken by Jennifer Aniston. She is way funnier and prettier.
She's almost 40 portraying a 20-something girl. I'm not buying it…
Not to rain on her parade because who doesn't love Kelly Bundy but do you think that high rating just may have something to do with the show coming on right after the #1 rated show on tv. DUH!!
