Following a hit and run accident that left in an eight-day coma, Samantha Newly wakes up with retrograde amnesia.  And though she's retained all general knowledge, she doesn't have a clue as to who she is or what she's done with her life.  On the quest to discover herself, she starts to realize how much of a horrible person she was and has now made a decision to improve herself.  She continues to do so on the second season premiere of Samantha Who?, airing tonight at 9:30pm on ABC.

Read on for a preview of tonight's Samantha Who?? episode.

In the sophomore season opener called “So I Think I Can Dance,” Sam joins forces with her mother for a dance competition in order to beat Regina's nemesis, Paula Drake and her partner Mateo.  While the “old” Sam could dance, the “new” Sam, unfortunately, has two left feet.  At the same time, Sam wants to start enjoying her newfound independence but she's having a hard time doing so because Todd, who is having trouble finding a new place, is still in her apartment.

Samantha Who?? stars Christina Applegate as Samantha "Sam" Newly, Barry Watson as Todd, Jean Smart as Regina, Jennifer Esposito as Angela, Kevin Dunn as Howard, Melissa McCarthy as Dena, and Tim Russ as Frank.

Guests starring on tonight's episode are Cybill Shepherd, whose most recent credits include The L Word and Psych, and Mark Ballas of Dancing With the Stars.  Shepherd will be appearing as Paula Drake, while Ballas will be playing her dance partner Mateo.

Meanwhile, fans of Samantha Who?? have a lot to look forward as the sitcom heads further into its second season.  Other guests include Mary-Kate Olsen (Weeds), James Tupper (Men In Trees, How I Met Your Mother), and Anthony Anderson (Law & Order, K-Ville), just to name a few.
