The New Adventures of Old Christine is a sitcom that premiered on CBS in 2006 and ran for five seasons until 2010. The show starred Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the titular character, Christine Campbell, alongside a talented cast that included Clark Gregg, Hamish Linklater, Emily Rutherfurd, Tricia O'Kelley, Alex Kapp Horner, Wanda Sykes, Andy Richter, Rebecca Creskoff, Jennifer Baxter, Ben Feldman, Tommy Savas, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Josh Randall, Patrick Fischler, Crista Flanagan, Rachel G. Fox, Jennifer Elise Cox, Dan Gauthier, Lauren Bowles, Jack Kehler, Dave Florek, Don Lake, and Barry Livingston.

Christine Campbell is a divorced single mother who is going through a difficult time trying to figure out how to balance raising her young son, managing her own business, and dealing with the drama that comes with being a divorcee. Despite her best efforts, Christine always finds herself in awkward and sometimes embarrassing situations that leave her feeling frustrated and defeated.

One of the show's central themes is Christine's relationship with her ex-husband, Richard (Clark Gregg), who remains a fixture in her life and often causes her grief. Richard has since remarried a younger woman named New Christine (Emily Rutherfurd), and the two women have an ongoing rivalry throughout the series. Despite the tension, Christine and Richard continue to co-parent their son and occasionally find themselves drawn to each other romantically, leading to some amusing and often cringe-worthy moments.

Christine also has a close circle of friends that includes her brother Matthew (Hamish Linklater), who struggles with a variety of personal issues ranging from job loss to dating troubles; and her best friend Barb (Wanda Sykes), an outspoken and hilarious woman who is largely responsible for adding a lot of humor and fun to the show. Other recurring characters include Christine's assistant Marly (Tricia O'Kelley), her neighbor Tom (Andy Richter), and several of her son's schoolmates and their parents.

Throughout the series, Christine faces a variety of obstacles both big and small, from trying to impress her ex-husband's new wife to dealing with a lice outbreak at her son's school. Despite her many setbacks, Christine always manages to get back up and face whatever challenges come her way with humor and resilience.

The New Adventures of Old Christine was praised for its witty writing, strong performances, and relatable portrayal of modern single motherhood. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, in particular, received critical acclaim for her performance as Christine, with many critics noting that it was a welcome departure from her iconic role as Elaine on Seinfeld. The show was also lauded for its diverse cast and their ability to address serious issues like divorce, co-parenting, and career struggles while still maintaining a lighthearted comedic tone.

Overall, The New Adventures of Old Christine was a charming and funny sitcom that tackled some complex issues with heart and humor. While it may have flown under the radar for some viewers, those who gave it a chance were rewarded with a delightful and entertaining show that remains a hidden gem of the early 2000s.

The New Adventures of Old Christine is a series that is currently running and has 5 seasons (88 episodes). The series first aired on March 13, 2006.
