Kristin from E! Online just received the following e-mail:
Please don’t use my name, but I work on Samantha Who? and we just got an order for six additional scripts! Thanks for being a fan of the show. We love you!
Excellent news! As Kristin also points out, Samantha Who? is easily the biggest new show of the season thus far, averaging 14 million viewers a week.

‘Samantha Who?’ up its second week
Before the premiere of ABC’s new comedy “Samantha Who?,” buyers thought it stood a good chance of becoming the strongest comedy in the Monday 9:30 p.m. timeslot. After two weeks, it appears to be on its way.
Last night’s episode of “Samantha,” its second, posted a 4.6 overnight rating among viewers 18-49, up just a slight 2 percent versus the 4.5 for last week’s premiere. While that might not seem like much in itself, it’s a promising sign for the show. It’s one of the few new shows this season to actually boost its rating during its second week.
“Samantha” also finished first in its timeslot among total viewers with 14.4 million, ahead of the 11.3 million NBC’s “Heroes” averaged in that half hour.

If you’re looking for a silver lining in that whole Deadwood movie debacle, here ya go: Sources confirm that Timothy (aka Deadwood lawman Seth Bullock) has landed a recurring role on ABC’s irresistible Samantha Who?.
He’ll play the new boss and potential love interest to Christina Applegate’s title character. Olyphant starts work today, which means you shouldn’t expect to see him on screen until December or January.

If you needed two more reasons to catch ABC’s unquestionably entertaining Samantha Who?, here they are: Sources confirmed that producers have tapped ex-Invasion hottie Eddie Cibrian and short-lived Lost castaway Kiele Sanchez for multi-episode arcs.
Cibrian has been cast as a love interest for Christina Applegate’s title character, while Sanchez — who is just one good role away from being a huge star — will romance Barry Watson’s Todd.
ABC is clearly looking to keep both actors on the payroll. In addition to their respective roles on Invasion and Lost, Cibrian and Sanchez starred in the Alphabet Net’s ill-fated Football Wives pilot.

Hefty bow for ABC’s ‘Samantha Who?’
ABC now has the season’s two most-watched new show debuts. Last night’s series premiere of the sitcom “Samantha Who?” became the most-watched new program of the season, drawing nearly 15 million viewers, and bettering last month’s 14.4 million for “Private Practice.”
“Samantha” also averaged a 4.5 rating among adults 18-49 at 9:30 p.m., according to Nielsen overnights, holding 92 percent of its “Dancing with the Stars” lead-in at 9 p.m. The 90-minute “Stars” averaged a 4.9 and 20 million viewers in its finale half hour.
That rating could adjust, as “Dancing” may have bled into “Samantha’s” timeslot; overnights measure timeslot data, not actual program data.
But the debut looks quite promising for ABC, which has struggled to find strong new sitcoms the past few years.
