SamanthaWhoSeason2

Several DVD sets came my way this week, so I did some marathon viewing sessions for Jane After Dark. I'm brand new to some of these, so you'll get the stark, raw newbie version. But I'll start with one I've watched since the beginning ...

Dirty Sexy Money: The Complete Second and Final Season. I really liked this show at the beginning. It had all the elements of a great series, including excellent actors (starting with Donald Sutherland, Jill Clayburgh, and Peter Krause) and intriguing storylines with rich people, sex, murder, and mystery. But by the time they got to season two, the storylines just seemed to fizzle out. I would love to hear your thoughts on why Dirty Sexy Money didn't work. Crummy writing? Poor use of great actors? Too many characters to keep track of? Poor timing with the writer's strike occurring in the middle of its run, resulting in ten months between seasons?

Bonus features: Directing the Darlings (behind the scenes with director Jamie Babbit); A Total Knockout (a day in the life of Natalie Zea, who played Karen); Dirty Sexy Crafty (a featurette about the food on the set); Faux Pas (bloopers); deleted scenes.

"This was obviously an incredibly difficult year ... on the other hand I've fallen very much in love, so there's a good end to every story."

Christina Applegate might be the busiest woman in Hollywood. Not only is she star and producer of ABC's 'Samantha Who?,' but she's also starting a foundation for breast cancer research after having a double mastectomy last fall.

As if that's not enough to keep her busy, she has to keep 'American Idol' on her radar. With 'Samantha Who?' premiering at its new night and time (Thurs., March 26 at 8:30 PM ET), the show's up against Fox's reality competition ratings juggernaut. The bright side? The move puts 'Samantha' a lot closer to one of Applegate's faves, 'Grey's Anatomy.'

AOL TV got the exclusive scoop from Applegate on what's happening with Good Sam, Bad Sam, Todd, Andrea, Dena and the Newlys, if there's going to be a third season and why it's important to make lemonade when life hands you lemons. -- By Maggie Furlong
