We were very optimistic already about the fate of Julia Louis Dreyfuss´s The New Adventures of Old Christine… and we weren´t wrong. CBS has picked The New Adventures of Old Christine for a fifth season and now it´s official.
We were speculating about The New Adventures of Old Christine being renewed, but now it´s official.
And alongside The New Adventures of Old Christine renewal, there goes Rules of Engagement, How I Met Your Mother renewed and Gary Unmarried all heading towards renewal.
The New Adventures of Old Christine is an Emmy Award winning comedy series starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a recently divorced single mother. The series debuted as a midseason replacement on March 13, 2006 on CBS and is currently broadcasting its fourth season, which debuted September 2008. Old Christine, as it is often more conveniently called, is a Warner Bros. Television production and was created by writer Kari Lizer, who is also the show’s executive producer.
What is The New Adventures of Old Christine About? – Plot
In the show, Louis-Dreyfus stars as Christine Campbell, 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” for the Louis-Dreyfus character. Christine lives with her son Richie and her brother Matthew (Hamish Linklater), while Wanda Sykes portrays Christine’s best friend and colleague Barb. Christine also struggles with her inferiority complex with the snobby “meanie moms” (Alex Kapp Horner and Tricia O’Kelley) at her son’s private school.
The show has featured recurring roles for a wide range of established actors including Blair Underwood, Dave Foley, Scott Bakula, Andy Richter and Jane Lynch.
Are you happy about The New Adventures of Old Christine being renewed?
Yeah! I love Julia Louis-Dreyfus and it’s a pleasure to see a smart, sexy, beautiful, 40-something woman being funny on tv. Go Julia!~
I just discovered this show on a flight to Philadelphia. Everyone on the plane was in stitches. I hate that I missed the first year. Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Wanda Sykes together are insane!
Last night’s show was hilariously funny. By far the very BEST 1/2 hour comedy on TV. It just keeps getting better as you enjoy the emseble interactions. I can think of a million shows I would never ever think of watching but I wouldn’t ever miss an episode of New Christine. CBS must be out of their mind to even think of getting rid of such a superior show.
It’s a good show, but not the best. Some shows currently showing that might be better than “The New Adventures Old Christine” in its category, could nominee as “The Big Bang Theory” or “Two and A Half Men”. Overall it’s a good show, with a good plot and caracters, yet again I dont think it go the full 10 Seasons. Because it has no continous story line, this could very well result problems. But I agree, CBS has to be out of their mind to take out a show like this.
I absolutely love this show. I have it DVR’d so I can always count on a good laugh. Julia is so down to earth and so off the beaten path at the same time!! Don’t cancel!!! We need a place to go and be able to laugh!!! Wanda Sykes is the gravy for the potatoes of the show!!!! Love it!!!!!!
