The New Adventures of Old Christine
Created by Kari Lizer
On CBS
A warm, character-driven network sitcom about a single mother navigating the indignities of middle age and dating, built on affection for its protagonist rather than cruelty.
Single working mom Christine Campbell has just learned that her ex is dating a much younger woman with the same first name. To avoid any confusion, the new girlfriend is dubbed New Christine, which leaves her with the unfortunate nickname Old Christine.
