The New Adventures of Old Christine: The Complete First Season

I really love this show. It's so good and I can see why Julia won a Golden Globe for this. She's such a talented and funny actress and makes this show truly enjoyable. I also really love Wanda Sykes and she brings even more humour to the show and rounds out a great cast.While everyone probably already knows the plot of the series, here are the episodes within this DVD set. 1 PILOT - She's sweet, she's adorable, she's young, I hate her. Christine meets new Christine. 2 SUPERTRAMP - Christine looks for a fling ... and lands the man mocked as the Sad Dad at Ritchie's school. 3 OPEN WATER - Is love blind? The unexpected occurs when Barb and Pete set Christine up on a blind date. 4 ONE TOE OVER THE LINE, SWEET JESUS - Richard has no problem with Christine and Burton's romance. Nope, no problem at all. 5 I'LL SHOW YOU MINE - The men in her life. After two months of dating, Burton still hasn't met Ritchie. 6 THE OTHER F WORD - Christine takes it upon herself to diversify Ritchie's white white school. 7 LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO STAN - Solo and so low. After she breaks up with Burton, Christine discovers dining out alone is no treat. 8 TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL - Four hundred dollas a guest!? Christine rebels against extravagant children's birthday parties. 9 RITCHIE HAS TWO MOMMIES - ...But only one of them is nuts! Christine freaks when New Christine shows up at Parents' Night.10 NO FAULT DIVORCE - Why did Christine and Richard get divorced? Maybe for a reason Christine never knew about.11 EXILE ON LAME STREET - Afraid of what Ritchie will be exposed to at a Rolling Stones concert, Christine tries to crash the event.12 SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE PORTUGUESE - Working women of the world, unite. Christine is thrilled to meet another working mom at Ritchie's school.13 A FAIR TO REMEMBER - Christine's hopes of rekindling her romance with Burton are dashed when she learns he has a new girlfriend ... named Christine.You really have to check out this show. You'll really love it. And fans who already love it will love the special features here like Unaired scenes and gag reels to name a few.I highly recommend this dvd to all fans of the show and to people who haven't already seen this, because you'll watch it and fall in love with it too.

I love this show n I'm so happy to be able to have it to watch whenever I want since nobody has it to stream anymore

This is one of my all-time-favorite tv series. I wish it had more seasons. The cast is fantastic, it’s easy to binge and I don’t ever get sick of it. There isn’t an episode that I don’t laugh my butt off.

I was so happy to recieve the first season on DVD! The New Adventures of Old Christine is such a great show, much due to the outstanding and absolutely fearless acting of Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the lead. She is also surrounded by a very talanted cast and the writing is fresh (even though as many have pointed out, the format is traditional sitcom). The best thing with owning this DVD is of course being able to watch the episodes over and over again, but there is also an interesting interview feature, where mainly Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the series creator Kari Lizer share their thoughts, but also the rest of the cast, director Andy Ackerman and others comment on writing, acting, directing etc. And then there's a blooper part. This is fun to watch, but I have seen funnier blooper features from other series. This can probably be explained by the fact that this was the very first season of the show and that there were only 13 episodes. Still fun, though! Some previously un-aired scenes are also included and constitues an extra treat.Julia Louis-Dreyfus certainly deserved the Emmy she got for her performance during this season. I especially love ep. 5 "I'll show you mine", which features Christine's relationship with Burton and shows how Julia Louis-Dreyfus acts supremely both comedically and dramatically, and ep. 13 "A fair to remember" which displays the same thing and also captures very well the tension in her relationship with the ex-husband Richard. But it is hard to pick favourites. I love all episodes and enjoy also storylines featuring Barb, Matthew, new Christine and the meanie moms. Another favourite episode of mine this season is ep. 10 "No fault divorce" where the neurotic character of Christine is illustrated delightfully. Before I start picking every episode of this season as my favourite I'll conclude by recommending this DVD for purchase for anyone who loves intelligently written and well-performed sitcoms. And if you don't love Julia Louis-Dreyfus already, you will after wathching this.

Great show, been awhile since seeing it. Very happy with my purchase!

Great show.

This is a show I grew up watching in high school and I just love the humor in it. This show is amazing and I have always wanted to rewatch it as an adult. I am thrilled it's on amazon.

Much better to buy than to have a whole other subscription just for this show.

Good quality

Llegó más rápido de lo esperado! Amaba esta serie y que padre que ya tengo la primer temporada. Ahora a conseguir las demás... (;

trop trop bienl'actrice principale est juste incroyablement droleelle a un talent fou et son jeu avec clark gregg est excellent

Ich liebe diese Serie schon seit ich sie zum ersten Mal vor vielen Jahren auf Comedy Central gesehen habe.Christine ist zum totlachen.Die DVD ist auf Englisch. Leider gibt es nur diese als französischen Import. Staffeln 2-5 werden wohl nie erscheinen.

I saw a couple of episodes on Living before it disappeared without trace on UK TV, but I was hooked. Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays an overwrought, paranoid US mom with gusto. Her comic timing, exaggerated body language and expressions really appeal to my sense of humour. I loved Seinfeld, but I enjoy this more. The supporting cast play their familiar sitcom types in a highly effective and natural manner - in sharp contrast to the wooden characters and prehistoric script (not funny) of the BBC's new Reggie Perrin.
