Editorial Review:
Just as funny as the first season of the sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine, this second season features 22 hilarious episodes of social and sexual tension as only Julia Louis-Dreyfus can deliver them. Old Christine's relationship with her ex-husband Richard (Clark Gregg) and his new girlfriend New Christine (Emily Rutherfurd) may be leveling out, but there's lots to add: The continued scorn of the meanie moms at her son Ritchie's school, the lure of the new and very hot teacher Daniel Harris (Blair Underwood), brother Matthew's new aspirations to make something of himself, her friend Barb's marital problems and burgeoning interest in Christine's business, and several questionably compatible dates, including New Christine's father Jeff (Scott Bakula), making the scene ripe for love, misunderstanding, and a host of inappropriate remarks and actions. The sense of sincerity and genuine awkwardness in Dreyfus' Emmy-winning portrayal of Old Christine makes this series incredibly funny, and good writing ensures that viewers can relate to Christine's every predicament; whether she's propositioning Ritchie's new teacher, seeking casual sex with Stan the Sad Dad, or dealing with her own inability to get a good night's sleep. Bonus features include unaired scenes on each of the four discs and a blooper gag reel. --Tami Horiuchi

The New Adventures of Old Christine: The Complete Second Season Reviews:
Great show, good DVD 
2009-08-08 - The New Adventures of Old Christine is a very funny show. It's also got quite a bit of heart, although it's quite raunchy too. This type of family sitcom is sorely missing from TV these days, but Old Christine delivers it perfectly.
The DVD is very good, although the special features aren't particularly vast or exciting. The picture & audio are great, as you'd expect for a show this recent.
Very Funny 
2009-02-25 - I bought these dvds for my mom when she was recovering from surgery. I knew she had seen a few episodes on tv and had enjoyed them. She absolutely loved these dvds and I think it really gave her something to look forward to everyday. I only had the time to watch a couple of them with her, but I could always hear her laughing histerically from my room. They are very funny and pleasant to watch. I also like the fact that even though its funny there is a story to follow.
good find 
2009-02-13 - quick delivery, hard to find in stores, so was happy to find this on amazon
Hilarious 
2009-02-11 - This is a really funny comedy series. The writing is sharp and witty, and Julia Louis Dreyfus has the ability to completely humiliate herself on a regular basis, and you can't help but adore her, even while you are laughing at her. Great Tv!
very good second season 
2009-01-28 - Christine is one of the few real funny sit coms left on US TV.
(with Two and a half men and How I met your mother)
