This season kicked off semi-strong. It was a little sitcom-stereotypical, but what it did was allow Julia to shine. Her comedic timing was extraordinary, and her acting perfect. The lack of screen time for the usual supporting cast was what missing from this episode. With the WGA strike, more potential new viewers were available, and showing an episode with more cast involvement would have made more sense. I hope that they are more integral to the next episode.

CBS treats Christine like an ugly-stepchild. It has won awards and has a loyal audience, but it’s constantly treated like a standard mid-season replacement. I really hope it gets the respect it deserves, and soon.

Alexander will play a lizard handler for children's birthday parties with whom Christine goes out on a date.

I really enjoy Old Christine, even though the show has been very uneven. The shows are either very good or very bad. I believe that Old Christine breaks the Seinfeld Curse simply because she plays Christine as an older Elaine.

Having Jason Alexander on the show will bring a new audience and I think it is a great move. The highlight of Alexander's show, Listen Up, was when Wayne Knight ('Newman') was guest.
