Are Samantha Who?'s Todd and Sam the New MerDer?
ABC/ Karen Neal
Are Todd (Barry Watson) and Samantha (Christina Applegate) the next great TV will-they-or-won't-they couple? Christina herself seems to think so, and we couldn't agree more. When Samantha Who? returns to ABC this Thursday, March 26, their relationship will be the comedy's leading storyline. (Yay!)
When asked if this popular TV couple/noncouple will finally get it together, Christina tells us: "I don't know. I think every show has a great Sam and Diane* dynamic. [Note to those of you born after 1990: Sam and Diane is a Cheers reference.] You've got the Meredith and the Dr. McHottie or whatever. People who just can't seem to get it together, and it seems to work."
It makes no diff to Ms. Applegate. She's just over the moon to be working with Barry. "As long as I get to continue to do lots of scenes with Barry Watson," she says, "then I don't care what capacity it is, whether we're fighting or we're in love. He's my really good friend, and I absolutely enjoy working with him."

Samantha Where? Applegate Benched for Bachelor
ABC/MITCH HADDAD
Looks like Christina Applegate won't be receiving a rose anytime soon.
ABC announced today that Samantha Who? will be benched to make way for the better-performing Bachelor. Samantha previously aired at 9:30 p.m. on Mondays, following Dancing With the Stars. The 13th cycle of the romantic reality show took over the time slot at the beginning of January.
This temporary hold allows singleton Jason Mesnick and his lovelies to continue to get inflated episodes on Mondays from 8 to 10 p.m.
Fans shouldn't worry too much about Samantha When. The network hasn't set a return date for the sitcom yet, but it will most likely be soon after Mesnick awards his final rose on March 2.
But just to hold you over a bit, an ABC spokesperson tells E! News that when the laugher does return, Golden Globe nominee Applegate will be joined by former Women's Murder Club hottie Angie Harmon as the ex-wife of Billy Zane's Funk.
Video Sneak Peek: A Reprobate Mary-Kate on Samantha Who?
Mary-Kate Olsen channels her inner bad girl (or maybe it's sis Ashley's inner bad girl) on Monday's episode of Samantha Who? (ABC, 7 p.m.), playing the latest reclamation project of Christina Applegate's title character. M.K. does nicely as a charming chiseler Natalie in the scene above, and seems to be moving past her evil ways in the two clips after the jump. Or is she?
First Look: Mary-Kate Olsen on Samantha Who?
Karen Neal/ABC
It seems like forever ago that Watch With Kristin broke the awesome news that Mary-Kate Olsen (our favorite!) would be guest starring on Samantha Who?. Now, four long months later, there are pictures!
M.K.'s episode will air Nov. 10. In it, she stars as Natalie, a troubled young woman Samantha meets in community service. Sam sees her preamnesia bad-girl self in Natalie, so naturally she wants to help Nat get back on the straight and narrow. Jokes ensue.
There's M.K. drinking with the grown-ups, and keep scrolling to check out her adorable d'oh face...
