The New Adventures of Old Christine is a CBS situation comedy that debuted as a midseason replacement on March 13, 2006. The show, a Warner Bros. Domestic Television production, was created by writer Kari Lizer, who is also the show's executive producer.

On August 27, 2006, Louis-Dreyfus won the Emmy Award for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on Old Christine. The New Adventures of Old Christine is broadcast on the Nine Network in Australia, TV 2 in New Zealand, TV2 in Norway and Kanal 5 in Sweden. It is yet to be aired in the United Kingdom, but has been purchased by UKTV Gold.

Christine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is a divorced mom trying to keep pace with everyone around her, including the judgmental stay-at-home moms at her son's private school and her ex-husband Richard (Clark Gregg). She is jokingly known as "Old Christine" because Richard has a girlfriend also named Christine (Emily Rutherfurd). Hamish Linklater plays Matthew, (Old) Christine's brother.

The show premiered to and maintained good ratings, apparently the first example of a show breaking the "Seinfeld curse" (after the failures of The Michael Richards Show, Bob Patterson, Listen Up, and Louis-Dreyfus' own Watching Ellie)[1]. In May 2006, CBS announced that they have renewed the show for the Fall 2006-2007 TV season.

Review

A Los Angeles Times review [2] noted that "Louis-Dreyfus makes Christine feel fresh and real" and the show has a "dry charm and a nice tone of affectionate irony." The review continued:

While it occasionally runs to the absurd — a blind date who won't eat food other people have touched and brings his own chicken to a restaurant — it stays for the most part within the realm of recognizable human relations, and lets you feel something for its characters. This was not a luxury Seinfeld ever afforded anyone, and it's nice to see the star getting to play something less cerebrally conceived, less obsessive-compulsive and more ordinarily well-rounded.
