The Hockey Date is another highly amusing episode of "Samanatha Who?"

[tavm · 8/10 · 29 November 2007]

Because Samantha seems to spend most of her time with Dena playing Life at her parents' house, her mom thinks she should try dating again. Sam explains that since she has amnesia, she just can't talk about herself in front of a stranger when she doesn't know who she is. Her mom says to not let something like that stop her! She goes to ex-lover-now-friend Todd for info about her former life. He's now "running" with a woman named Chloe (Kiele Sanchez) who thinks Sam's condition means she's deaf as she keeps talking loud. Todd mentions Sam's passion for hockey. The next day, as her parents leave her alone with a man they invited called Kevin (Eddie Cibrian), she reveals her liking hockey which gets her a date with him. Before that, however, Sam goes with Todd to the stadium so she can watch a game she's forgot about. What she also forgot was that her old self got arrested at said stadium for faking a handicap in order to get free tickets. She's now banned from going there again. Meanwhile, Andrea, who was supposed to be in Rome with her new boyfriend, reluctantly turns to Dena (who she calls "Tina") after said boyfriend dumps her. After getting thrown out, Sam and Todd play darts at a bar as they bond over some good times. As Kevin arrives, Todd leaves, then Sam tells Kevin the truth about herself. Kevin still wants her. Sam feels good as she later joins Andrea and Dena, both of whom are passing themselves off as "Canadian Flight Attendents" to potential suitors...Another funny episode of "Samantha Who?" that keeps getting better as the weeks go by. Nice to see Dena and Andrea bond a little bit here. Also nice to see Ms. Sanchez, post-"Lost", and Mr. Cibrian, post-"Invasion". They're amusing as, I'm sure, temporary mates for Todd and Sam, respectively. As always, Christina Applegate is very amusing playing both her crafty old self and her more sweet new self. Hope the ratings did well enough opposite its new competitor, "Two and a Half Men".
