Sam I Am… Not.
This fall, ABC had planned to introduce a new series starring Christina Applegate in “Sam I Am.” In the series, the title character, Samantha Newly, played by Christina Applegate, is afflicted with amnesia. A clever title perhaps. But also a little bit… taken. The title mimics the first few lines of Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham.
Apparently, the Seuss heirs didn’t find the title quite so clever. ABC is not commenting on the specifics but has released information that the name of the show has been changed to “Samantha Be Good.”
