The first season was the warm up, but season two offers hilarious moments, quippy, fast storylines involving dating, meanie moms and the insanity of life.
I watch this show on television and didn't realize just how good Season Two was until I watched it all together on DVD. I haven't liked any other season since and have been close to turning it off in the 2008/09 season.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the cast offer a fantastic symbiosis that carries through the screen. Everyone can relate to some part of this show. If you buy any of the seasons, get this one. Forget about the rest.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars as Christine Campbell, a single mom trying to balance son Ritchie and her women's-only gym, while dealing with ex-husband Ritchard (Clark Gregg) and his new girlfriend (Emily Rutherfurd), also named Christine. Added to the mix are Christine's womanizing brother Matthew (Hamish Linklater), who lives with her, and acerbic best friend Barb (Wanda Sykes).
Season 2 includes such classic episodes as "The Passion of the Christine," where Christine and Ritchard decide to give reconciliation a try; and "Come to Papa Jeff," where Christine -- to her horror -- learns she's dating New Christine's father.
If you've never watched this comedy, give it a try; it's soon guaranteed to become a favorite!
Firstly, I admit to being biased here - Elaine was always my favourite SEINFELD character - so I was watching with keen interest as to what Julia would get into. Unlike the other cast members, Julia hit a fantastic mark with this show. Was aired off-and-on in Australia, but never regularly - ordered season one and now season two asap when I saw available from Amazon. This is truly one the funniest comedies of all time for me - a combination of great writing, timing and cast - but mostly the pure genius of Julia's talent - she is not afraid to play the fool and gives her all for her craft. Her scenes with her friend - now business partner, Barb (Wanda Sykes) are priceless - but then the whole show is for me. Some of the biggest uncontrolled laughs I've had watching a TV show - be warned, will take twice as long to watch, you'll be rewinding alot to catch the scenes you laugh over. Bring on season three - I'm in!
