Just as funny as the first season of the sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine, this second season features 22 hilarious episodes of social and sexual tension as only Julia Louis-Dreyfus can deliver them. Old Christine's relationship with her ex-husband Richard (Clark Gregg) and his new girlfriend New Christine (Emily Rutherfurd) may be leveling out, but there's lots to add: The continued scorn of the meanie moms at her son Ritchie's school, the lure of the new and very hot teacher Daniel Harris (Blair Underwood), brother Matthew's new aspirations to make something of himself, her friend Barb's marital problems and burgeoning interest in Christine's business, and several questionably compatible dates, including New Christine's father Jeff (Scott Bakula), making the scene ripe for love, misunderstanding, and a host of inappropriate remarks and actions. The sense of sincerity and genuine awkwardness in Dreyfus' Emmy-winning portrayal of Old Christine makes this series incredibly funny, and good writing ensures that viewers can relate to Christine's every predicament; whether she's propositioning Ritchie's new teacher, seeking casual sex with Stan the Sad Dad, or dealing with her own inability to get a good night's sleep. Bonus features include unaired scenes on each of the four discs and a blooper gag reel. --Tami Horiuchi Stills from New Adventures of Old Christine (click for larger image)

 Best Season of Old Christine January 3, 2009
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.
Unfailingly funny! November 28, 2008
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!
Belly laughs a-plenty November 5, 2008
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!
 Good, but.... October 27, 2008
For the most part I like this show, and have enjoyed much of the series, but there is one thing that keeps getting me, and almost turning me off on it. Its not the laugh track, if that was your first guess, but its that damned theme song! I have never heard something so annoying in my life, it bugs the hell out of me!
I give the show probably 4 out of 5 stars, but whenever that stupid song comes on, or its little snippets, I want to throw my TV out the window. So, I knock this down a star, because I just can't take the stupid song.
Side Splitting Funny! October 13, 2008
The New Adventures of Old Christine is the funniest comedy I have seen since Will & Grace. I have never laughed so much at all the sticky messes she seems to get herself into. Everyone of this cast is so funny and little Ritchie is so adorable and unbelievably witty. Overall I would definitely recommend this dvd to everyone who enjoys a good laugh!!!
