JPTV: What I'm Watching Tonight
ABC
Tonight sees the debut of ABC's Samantha Who?, in which Christina Applegate plays an amnesia victim forced to slowly discover that, in her former life, she was a first-class beeyotch. I won't be watching it, because I already have. My quick take: good concept, decent execution, unlikely to be around long enough to get invested in. But it's most worth watching for--and I owe Mrs. Tuned In for this insight--watching Applegate do the most uncanny imitation of Jennifer Aniston's mannerisms and delivery you will ever see. Honestly, if you could copyright a certain furrow-browed, quizzical expression, somebody would be calling somebody's lawyers right now.
What I will be watching is Aliens in America, airing its first episode I haven't seen advance screeners of. But according to Nielsen, none of you are planning to join me. Are they wrong?

I thought Applegate was delightful and the supporting cast were gems... happy to see more.
I have dropped AinA, the central character was kind of sweet, but it just never really brought the funny for me.
