ABC has ordered up an additonal six episodes of the Christina Applegate comedy "Samantha Who?"

The show is based on an idea from author Cecelia Ahern, and stars Applegate as a woman who wakes from a coma with no memory of her previous life.

"Samantha" has been helped in the ratings by having the hit "Dancing With The Stars" as a lead-in, and in its two airings has grabbed a solid 14.3 million viewers and a 4.6 rating/10 share among adults 18-49. The fact that the ratings held solid in week two was a positive sign for the network, since even successful new shows tend to have some audience tune-out after the premiere episode.

ABC has previously given full-season pickups to the dramas "Private Practice" and "Pushing Daisies." It has also ordered an additional three scripts of the Jerry O'Connell comedy "Carpoolers."

沪江小编:眼下秋季档剧集争夺得你死我活,也许你已经厌倦了《越狱》第三季,也许《绝望的主妇》和《英雄》你已经看得腻腻歪歪,那么来关注一下秋季新剧吧。这部"Samantha Who"(《第二人生》)讲述的是一个女人从昏迷中醒来后失去记忆的故事,情节看似老套,不过收视率颇高,能让电视台追加剧本可见剧集还是不错的,小编我已经在考虑拖下来看看了。
