The New Adventures of Old Christine

S01E02: Supertramp

When Christine learns that Richard and "new" Christine are enjoying an intimate relationship, she becomes determined to make her own conquests.

Unbeknownst to Christine, Stan is a father at Ritchie's school who is known as "Sad Dad."

Overview

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.
