What fun. Sami Staitman stars as an actress trying to make it in the fabled New York, New York of song. That means commercials for questionable products as well as auditions for musicals that we would all hope are never staged. Bruce Kimmel, who gave us the great Out of the Box several years ago, returns to the short series with a new winner, judging by the first two episodes. And he has a winner in Sami Staitman, who shines as the title character. Cindy Williams in her last role and Kerry O'Malley add to the fun, as does another newcomer, Karim Hazime, as her best friend, also a Sammy. It's fun, it's fresh and while it has some great 13+ belly laughs, there's also an innocence and nostalgia for shows of the past like That Girl. Looking forward to watching the whole series.
