MONDAY

Monday is the series premiere of Samantha Who? on ABC at 9:32/8:32c. Christina Applegate stars as Samantha Newly, a woman who awakens from an 8-day coma with amnesia – and the chance to start over in life. It also stars Barry Watson (7th Heaven), Jean Smart (24 and Designing Women), Jenifer Esposito (Related) and Tim Russ (Star Trek: Voyager), Melissa McCarthy (Gilmore Girls) plus has Eddie Cibrian (Third Watch & Invasion) and Kiele Sanchez (Related & Lost) coming on for multi-episode arcs. With that cast, this is soooo going to be one of my new favorite shows!

It’s also the premiere of The Salt n Pepa Show on VH1 at 10/9c. In 2002, at the height of their success, Salt-N-Pepa called it quits. No one was ever quite sure why. Rumors circulated that Salt had found God. Or that Pepa wanted to pursue an acting career. Even as the speculation grew, the girls remained silent. Until now. On The Salt-N-Pepa Show the two ladies are going to give it one more shot. But that’s easier said than done.

Finally, it’s the series premiere of Gotti’s Way on VH1 at 10:30/9:30c. With fresh ink on a new record deal, Irv Gotti intends to reclaim his rightful place in music history by leading Murder Inc., back to the top of the charts and the center of hip-hop. And he intends to do it while holding together his unusual relationship with Deb, and being there as a good father to his kids.

Don’t expect this one to be a hit or stick around long, I suspect. Blech. lol
