    Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays the titular "old Christine" in this sitcom about a mother who struggles with day to day issues, mostly because of her own foibles. If you like Elaine in "Seinfeld", you will probably enjoy JLD's portrayal of Christine, which is similar to Elaine if Elaine had a kid and an ex-husband and owned a business.She is surrounded by cast members whose characters serve as mirrors to her simple neuroses, even if she doesn't want to see them. Clark Gregg, as the ex-husband, has moved on romantically, but he is still in her life and willing to point out her shortcomings matter-of-factly. Wanda Sykes is a friend who also acknowledges Christine's personality shortcomings, but is willing to be her business partner.But it is Ms. Dreyfus who drives this comedy, with her usual self-deprecating style and the ability to hold an entire show together with her personality and style.

    Now, this is one of the best and most original sitcoms on t.v. It should be enjoyed by a more mature audience and why not? young adults could take a bite of it.Julia Louise Dreyfuss is extremely funny, smart, and why not'! sexy! in this show. She carries the humor on her back and equilibrates it with her dramatic abilities.The situations are always funny but I think that Christine's obsession that deals with getting steady with a man is getting repetitive.Anyways, this is one of the most witty and well written sitcoms in recent years. Give it a chance and shake off the Elaine Benes vibe. Old Christine delivers more than expected.

    Again CBS has picked up another comedy winner, though I never watched Dreyfus from her stand-up or "Seinfield" days, I always knew she had great comedic talent and she proves this with her own series "The New Adventures of Old Christine". This series has Julia as a sexy divorced single mother whose near 40 and raising her son in crazy and competitive L.A. and she experiences the problems that any single mother would have, that's why so many divorced mothers relate to this show. And plenty of witty and funny lines make this show relative and understandable, the writing is just great. Along with this show's blend of romance and adventure we all are hoping that Christine finds the right man, and that should happen with her sexy and witty ways. This is a real winner the writing, acting, and relative feelings you just get from this show is so good and the sexy and funny Julia Louis-Dreyfus makes it so good and watchable at least for now.

    This is one of the funniest shows I have seen in a long time. It's been years since a show has consistently been able to make me laugh out loud. My husband and I have two totally different comedic tastes and both of us crack up when we watch this show. Finally something we can watch together! Julia Louis-Dreyfus is hysterical as Old Christine. Her facial expressions are just the icing on the cake. Wanda Sykes' dryhumor is the perfect match for Dreyfus. And don't get me started on Hamish Linklater as Old Christine's brother Matthew! This is one show we set the DVR for so we can watch and laugh in peace when the kids are in bed. I hope that "Christine" is on for years to come.
