The New Adventures of Old Christine: Pilot

Well, I liked it. I didn't LOVE it, but I'm
definitely on board. I got a lot of good laughs out of this episode, especially during the interactions between
Christine and her ex-husband, and Christine and the rich ladies at her son's school. And, I love how she found out
about her husband dating a younger woman named Christine.There are sitcom-y (no, that's not really a word) lines in the show that Julia doesn't really deliver. For instance, the line early in the episode when she told her son to tell people he's "1/16th Native American" didn't really feel comfortable. It was a one-line zinger and she's better than that. However, a little later, when dropping her son off at school and feeling out of place, she nailed the line, "They're already looking at us like the project family the church sent over." So, hit and miss with the funny lines.
