Summary of Season 1 (2007) - 2 discs

When Samantha Newly (Christina Applegate, in an Emmy-nominated role) awakens from a brief coma, she has no idea who she is. Struck with amnesia, she depends on those around her to fill in the blanks. But maybe she's better off in the dark: It seems Sam wasn't such a nice person before her accident. This hilariously unpredictable series about second chances and fresh starts also stars Barry Watson, Jennifer Esposito, Jean Smart and Tim Russ.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this sitcom about an amnesiac who wants to become a better person occasionally deals with serious issues, like alcoholism and sexual affairs, but tends to treat the topics lightly. Expect frequent discussion of sex, including occasional mild innuendo. Couples sometimes kiss or embrace, and characters drink and hang out in bars. One character drinks frequently, and others joke about her being an alcoholic. Rare use of swear words like "damn" and "bitch."

Violence

Language

Occasional "damn," "bitch," and the like.

Social Behavior

Sam used to be mean person, and she still occasionally acts mean unintentionally -- though she's trying to be better. She might yell or berate someone or just be rude. Peripheral characters are sometimes selfish and rude, too, but their behavior is meant to highlight Sam's attempts to better herself.

Consumerism

Some drinking. One character drinks a lot, and other characters comment on this. Sam is a recovering alcoholic.
