It’s only episode 4, but already these four women are making up the oddest and funniest ensemble in a new sitcom this season. It’s got meddling mom Regina (Jean Smart), the sweetly creepy childhood friend Dena (Melissa McCarthy), the social-climbing and alcohol-imbibing best friend Andrea (Jennifer Esposito) and, of course, the adorable yet horrible amnesiac herself, Samantha (Christina Applegate)—with all sorts of wrong coming out of each of their mouths. But this week, mom was the car accident you couldn’t help staring at.
The scene: a pickup bar.
The players: the girls, ready to make a move so that Samantha can remember sex again.
The crasher: Regina, dropping in with an innocent, “Oh there you are, isn’t this fun? Huuuh?”
The thank-God-she’s-not-my mom moment: Regina apologizes for a bungled sex talk earlier, and declares loudly, “I want to be supportive, so c’mon, let’s get my little girl laid!”
The thank-God-for-Andrea moment: “I’m out with the dork, her mother and her stalker,” she says, “Looks like I’m leading the special needs field trip!”
Thus, making Regina and Andrea front-runners for our favorites. So who’s your favorite funny lady?
