We are reviewing all the cancelled shows for this season. And sources say in a few minutes we´ll know that Samantha Who gets cancelled
Things don´t look good for Samantha Who?… and everything is pointing towards Samantha Who being cancelled

Samantha Who? is an Emmy Award-winning American television sitcom which premiered on October 15, 2007 on ABC. The series was created by Cecelia Ahern and Don Todd, who also serve as producers.
The show centers around Samantha Newly (Christina Applegate), a 30-year-old vice president of a real estate firm who develops retrograde amnesia after a hit and run accident. Upon waking, she realizes to her dismay that she had been selfish and unlikeable before her accident, and therefore sets out to make amends and become a better person.

What is Samantha Who? About? – Plot

Samantha Newly is a vice-president at a Chicago realty firm but when she gets hit by a car, she falls into a coma. For eight days she is asleep, but upon waking, she finds she has retrograde amnesia; she has retained all general knowledge but hasn’t a clue as to who she is or what she’s done with her life. Soon, Sam finds out she’s been very, very cruel to those around her by having frequent flashbacks when her memory is triggered. Taking her amnesia as a sign that it’s time for change, Sam sets about making up for what the old, evil Sam did, and tries to change her life and herself for the better. Sam’s journey helps people understand that people do have the ability to change, as long as we give them the opportunity to.

Samantha Who? was, for its first seven episodes, the highest-rated freshman sitcom of the 2007-2008 TV season.

Fashion Autopsy on Christina Applegate, Tina Fey and Jenna Fischer at the SAG Awards

What can change from one year to another in the same event?

New famouse faces, others who get the recognition after a while hanging around, and there are others who renew their styles and looks. (Or bounce back from bad bad style choices).

A review of three actresses and their styles in SAG Awards 2008 and 2009. As always, Dayana is in charge of the Fashion Autopsy

Christina Applegate

christina-applegate-sag-2008-2009Samantha Who´s leading lady dressed in 2008 SAG Awards with a gorgeous white dress with silver details by Elle Saab.

Long ´til the feet she hid her shoes but let her silver purse show.

Hair up and a girly style with a little retro.

In 2009 she once again chose a long shoe covering dress (Was she using slippers maybe?) even though she raised the bar and wore an intense green dress that would not suit everybody (luckily for her… she´s one of the few people who could wear it and look great!)
The design is peculiar: Asimetrical cut with one shoulder down and a detail in the other that balanced the outfit.

Once again hair up and well combined silver accesories.

Loved her long necklace down to the waist.

Jenna Fischer

jenna-fischer-sag-2008-2009The lovely gal from The Office chose a navy blue satin dress with a detailed full corse for the SAG Awards 2008; it was creation of  Colette Dinnigan.
Overall I like it, except for those V stripes of the front. Strapless would´ve been better.
Hair up showing the long earrings, silvered as the bracelets and handbag.
In 2009, Jenna looks a lot younger in spite of ashed coloured dress by Pamella Roland.

The design is simple but compliments her cleavage with its shape and the yellow detail breaking the grey monotony (and I´m not talking about the monotony of Meredith Grey´s face in latest episodes… I´m talking about the dress)
The designer sympathized with shoe salesmen and created a short skirt in the front so they can be seen.

However… with these shoes, covering would have been better.
With her hair loose she looks ten times prettier than in 2008.

Tina Fey

tina-fey-sag-2008-2009Ever since she told some bloggers to suck it she became one of my favourite celebrities. She´s also the Current Sitcom Queen. As if it wasn´t enough, she won every single award she was up to. Go girl!

In 2008, Tina chose a ladylike design, with an asimetrical cut in black Chiffon by Alberta Ferretti.

Both the accesories, the hair, the make up and the shoes made Tina look quite natural and simple, yet very elegant.

For this year´s SAG Awards she chose a Brian reyes two-inches-over-the-knee-strapless-lot-of-cleavage model. The fabric looks like an arabesc filled velvet that, as lovely as it seems, may have not make her look as fresh as 2008 for 30 Rock´s soul and mother. (It looks hot both her body and her temperature with that fabric).

Crocodile leather shoes in grey in the same tone as the waist bow.

Truthful to her style she wasn´t over accesorizing. Bracelet, handbag and earrings hidden under her hair… a simple but sweetening look.

Also, truthful to her style, she took home the award…

What do you think about these fashion autopsies?
