Plot summary

Main article: List of The New Adventures of Old Christine episodes

Christine Campbell (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is a neurotic divorced mother and owner of a women's gym who is in a constant struggle to keep pace with those around her. A frequent fixture in her life is her irresponsible ex-husband Richard (Clark Gregg), whose new girlfriend (Emily Rutherfurd) is also named Christine, hence the nickname "Old Christine". Dreyfus' character Christine lives with her son Ritchie (Trevor Gagnon) and her brother Matthew (Hamish Linklater), while Christine's best friend and colleague Barb (Wanda Sykes) is constantly a shoulder for Christine to lean upon. Christine also struggles with her inferiority complex with the bitchy "meanie-moms", Marly Ehrhardt (Tricia O'Kelley) and Lindsay (Alex Kapp Horner) at her son's private school.

The show features guest spots and recurring appearances from a wide range of established actors including Blair Underwood, Dave Foley, Eric McCormack, Jason Alexander, Jennifer Grey, Megan Mullally, Scott Bakula, Andy Richter, Lee Tergesen, and Jane Lynch.

Trevor Gagnon and Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the first season.

The first season consists of 13 episodes and premiered on March 13, 2006. In this season Christine has only just enrolled her son, Ritchie, at a new posh private school, where she is constantly being humiliated by Marly and Lindsay, some non-working mothers at the school. On top of all this she has just discovered her ex-husband, Richard has started dating a much younger woman who is also named Christine. Christine has a brief fling with Burton Shaffer, Christine's on-and-off romantic interest, but they soon break up due to Christine not being able to commit to the relationship. In the season finale Christine kisses her ex-, Richard, causing him to tell New Christine, who promptly breaks up with him.

The second season consists of 22 episodes and premiered on September 18, 2006. Due to Richard and Christine's brief kiss, Ritchie believes that his parents have gotten back together, much to his parents' dismay. Christine starts dating an older man whom she later discovers is New Christine's father; this situation causes Richard and New Christine to rekindle their romance once again. Barb decides to start working at the gym with Christine, while Christine falls hard for Ritchie's new teacher, Mr. Harris. The season finale included Richard sleeping with Christine after breaking up with New Christine yet again. This causes a pregnancy scare for Christine, which is soon avoided. Eventually, New Christine takes Richard back and Mr. Harris takes a new teaching job at another school to be with Christine.

The third season was scheduled as a midseason replacement on CBS with 13 episodes scheduled. Due to the 2007 writer's strike, the third season consists of only 10 episodes. The third season premiered on February 4, 2008. Christine and Mr. Harris have a good relationship, until Christine's schedule becomes too hectic midway through the season; so they eventually break up. Meanwhile, Richard and New Christine buy a house together, which coincidentally is Christine's dream house, leaving her feeling jealous and confused. Barb leaves her husband and she has a short-lived fling with Matthew, much to Christine's horror.

The fourth season, consisting of 22 episodes, premiered on September 24, 2008. As Barb is divorced she is facing deportation from the U.S., so Christine decides to marry her in a sham lesbian marriage in order to keep her best friend in the country. Richard and New Christine become engaged while Matthew finds love with one of his clients. Christine has a brief relationship with an obsessive man named Patrick, while she and Barb decide to turn their gym into a spa which they later discover has turned into a brothel. On the day of Richard and New Christine's wedding, Christine briefly gets back together with New Christine's father, but is later left heartbroken when she discovers that he is engaged. This causes Richard to rush to Christine's side, provoking the jealous New Christine to leave him at the altar. Meanwhile Barb and Christine's sham marriage is discovered by an INS officer, leaving Barb imprisoned.

The fifth season, consisting of 21 episodes, premiered on September 23, 2009. Following Barb's arrest, she is rescued by Christine, Matthew and Barb's new boyfriend Dave. While Richard tries to win New Christine back, he temporarily moves into a new apartment with Matthew. Christine begins going to therapy, but she is attracted to her therapist, Max. They eventually abandon Christine's therapy and strike up a relationship instead. New Christine announces that she is pregnant, causing Richard to rekindle his relationship with her. New Christine eventually gives birth to a baby girl. Meanwhile, Barb becomes engaged to a reluctant Dave. At the conclusion of the season, Christine also becomes engaged to Max, but she feels intimidated by his very educated friends, so she decides to return to college.

Cast

Main cast

• "Old" Christine Campbell (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), the main character of the series, is a divorced mother who owns and operates a gym for women. She has a number of neuroses: although she suffers from feelings of inadequacy, she can also be highly self-centered and self-obsessed. Christine's bad luck with relationships continued after her divorce, and included failed relationships with New Christine's father, her son's teacher and her ex-brother-in-law. Christine is obsessed with being seen as socially progressive and liberal, and recently married her best friend Barb when she risked being deported, though this marriage ended shortly because it in no way protected Barb. Christine currently is in another dysfunctional relationship, as she has romantic feelings for her therapist Max.

• Richard Campbell Sr. (Clark Gregg), is Christine's ex-husband, who maintains a frequent presence in her life. After divorcing Christine, he found love with another woman named Christine, whom he nicknames "New Christine". He suffers from commitment issues, and only recently did he finally get engaged. Richard's presence in his ex-wife's life caused a strain between himself and New Christine, which heightened when she walked out on their wedding. Richard has finally accepted the fact she doesn't want him back, but although Richard is currently single, New Christine showed up on his doorstep a month later, furiously revealing she is pregnant.

• Matthew Kimble (Hamish Linklater), is Christine's long suffering live-in brother, who often acts as the straight man to his neurotic sister. Matthew has had trouble finding a career path. He entered and then quit medical school and then pursued a career as a therapist. He suffers from an unhealthy attachment to his mother (who he kisses on the mouth and speaks to several times daily). His romantic life is less than stellar.

• Barbara "Barb" Baran (Wanda Sykes), is Christine's funny best friend and colleague at the gym (whom she often calls "my black friend Barb"). Barb is divorced and in the fourth season was revealed to be from the Bahamas and not a US citizen. She has a dry, sarcastic sense of humor and is rarely enthused by any of Christine's plans. Barb and Christine got married early in season four to save Barb from deportation, but their same-sex marriage ended up resulting in them losing ownership of their gym. Since they lost the gym, Barb sold her condo to build up a new business and married Richard to stave off deportation. She's also engaged to Dave, a man she met at the wedding. Unfortunately, in reality Dave hates Barb and thought proposing to her would break them up, but instead she accepted.

• "New" Christine Liesl Hunter (Emily Rutherfurd), is Richard's "dumb blonde" girlfriend, an often frustrated and confused young blonde whom he nicknames "New Christine". She is annoyed by Richard's continued friendship with Old Christine, who treats her with derision, leading to friction between the two women. She is also frustrated with Richard's lack of commitment to their relationship. She walked out on their wedding, and has intense anger towards Richard for ruining their wedding. She also became furious to learn she is pregnant, even though Richard told her he had a vasectomy. They re-kindle their relationship and Christine gives birth to a daughter named Dakota Christine Hunter-Campbell at the end of season 5.

• Richard "Richie" Campbell Jr. (Trevor Gagnon), Christine and Richard's son, who attends a posh private school. Often smothered by his mother, his lack of masculine traits had recently begun to worry his father. He is often seen in the show in a school uniform: blue polo shirt with school logo, tan/khaki dress pants, and belt with dress shoes.

• Marly and Lindsay (Tricia O'Kelley and Alex Kapp Horner), aka 'The Meanie Moms,' are two terrible, rich mothers whose children attend Richie's school. They are looked upon as the 'queen bees' among the parents, although Marly is clearly dominant to the subservient Lindsay (Lindsay even got pregnant when Marly did so Marly wouldn't have to do it alone). They frequently make Christine feel inferior, leading Christine to repeatedly find ways to get back at them.

Recurring cast

• Mike Gay (Tom Papa), Christine's only friend at Westbridge, as he is similar to Christine in that he is not wealthy and is also divorced. (Season 3)

Christine realizes shortly after this he is engaged. (Season 2,4 and 5)
• Tom (Dave Foley), Richard's work associate who is obsessed with Christine. After he got sick on their disastrous first date, they bonded later in the series, but Christine still refused to see him. Richard set them up yet again, and this time Christine used him for his money, but Tom left her after he thought Christine's attempted seduction of him as "repulsive". (Seasons 2-3, 5)
• Daniel Harris (Blair Underwood), Ritchie's former 4th grade teacher until he gave it up to date Christine. Christine had been in love with him for a long time and although dating goes well, it eventually becomes too much for Daniel because of Christine's schedule. (Seasons 2-3, 5)

• Mrs. Belt (Jordan Baker), Ritchie's third grade teacher. (Season 1)

• Kelsey (Marissa Blanchard), Lindsay's daughter with lesbian tendencies. (Seasons 1-5)

(Season 4, 5)

Christine later uses him as her date at Richard and New Christine's wedding rehearsal dinner with the intention of showing Richard up, but his 'ass' qualities kick in and the plan backfires. (Season 4)
• Joe Campbell (Charles Esten), Richard's brother. Joe spent the night at Christine's house during a visit and following this came out to her as gay. He lives in San Francisco and returned for Richard's bachelor party where he became jealous he wasn't the best man.
• Amy Hunter (Constance Zimmer), New Christine's sister. Amy is notably vastly different than her sister, as she's much less ditsy and much more down-to-Earth. She meets Matthew at Richard and New Christine's wedding rehearsal and the two hook up. (Season 4)
• Principal Merrow (Stephen Tobolowsky), Westbridge's middle school principal. He has very little tolerance for Christine's neurotic behavior. (Season 4)

• Dave (James Lesure), a man Barb met at Richard and New Christine's wedding. Although he originally tried to deport her as he is an INS agent, he later found a way to keep her in the country because of his feelings for her, which later developed into hatred as their relationship progressed.

Reception

Critical reception

"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."

The New Adventures of Old Christine crew about the series

The review website Metacritic.com, which tabulates critics' reviews, gave it a 64—equating to their summary of "generally positive reviews", with 16 out of 26 critics reviews deemed as positive.^[2] A Los Angeles Times review notes that "Louis-Dreyfus makes Christine feel fresh and real" and the show has a "dry charm and a nice tone of affectionate irony."^[3]

Nielsen ratings and broadcast history

The show's initial ratings success was 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).^[4] The series premiere reached 15.1 million viewers.

Old Christine's time slot was changed mid-way through the second season, with a decline in ratings after losing its Two and a Half Men lead-in.

On May 16, 2007, it was announced that, despite the decline in ratings, CBS would renew the show for a third season 2007-2008 as a mid-season replacement.^[5] On November 6, 2007, CBS said that production of Old Christine had been halted because of a strike by the Writers Guild of America.^[6] On December 13, 2007 CBS announced that the series would return for its third season, which premiered on February 4, 2008, replacing Rules of Engagement.^[7] However, only 10 episodes of the original 13-episode order were produced and aired for the third season because of the WGA strike.^[8]

On May 14, 2008, CBS gave the sitcom a 22-episode order for the 2008-2009 season, where it aired on Wednesdays, opening up a second comedy night for the network.^[9] Only 6.7 million viewers tuned in to the premiere. The following week, despite not having to go up against ratings success Dancing with the Stars, ratings tip-toed up, as it added a few hundred thousand. By the third episode, the show was over 7.5 million and had added more than one million to the premiere audience. Since then, the fourth season Old Christine had ratings close to 8 million viewers, and came first in its time slot multiple times.

The early ratings for the fifth season had been lower than previous seasons, but the 14th episode of the season reached 8.3 million viewers, the highest viewership the show had received in the Wednesday night timeslot. When the future of the show was uncertain at CBS, ABC showed interest in the series on several occasions, and on May 3, 2010, Deadline Hollywood reported that ABC was in negotiations with Warner Bros. to pick up Old Christine, should CBS cancel it. On May 18, 2010, CBS canceled Old Christine. Upon CBS canceling the show, creator Kari Lizer slammed the network and suggested the decision to cancel the show was sexist.^[10] After the CBS cancellation, rumors continued that ABC was interested in the show, but these plans have not come to fruition.
