What I'm Watching: Samantha Who?

Samantha Who: Season 1, Episode 9 "The Break-Up" (C+)

Maybe this show was only good for a few episodes. Sam has quickly gone from perky and sympathetic to overly high-pitched and altogether too mobile, physically freaking out all the time about every little thing. The "love" scenario is okay but honestly, does Eddie Cibrian have anything to do besides sit there and look stupid asking lots of questions? The supporting players are benched for most of this episode, and I think Sam needs a bit less "me time" at this point. Let's see some more of the budding would-have-been romance between Todd and Dena. And much as I love Tuvok, a.k.a. Tim Russ the Doorman, he needs to go stat. His purpose is very thin and the deep-voiced deadpan style does not work in this setting.

**I had been planning to watch "For One More Day", the extremely sappy-looking adaptation of Mitch Albom's book starring Michael Imperioli, but never got around to it, mostly for lack of interest. I still have it on tape, and may wait until Thursday's nominations and let that decide if I watch it. Same goes for "Tin Man", though my interest there is much greater, but there is lot more to watch there (6 hours, if I am not mistaken). Reviews of those will be posted when I watch them.**
