Last month, ABC put Samantha Who? (which stars Melissa McCarthy) on hiatus for the remainder of its Season 2 episodes, with a possibility that the show may not return for a Season 3. However, now it looks like the network is trying to rethink the series in order to save it.

ABC may be turning the show into a more traditional multi-camera comedy, allowing ABC to shave as much as $500,000 off the production budget for the series. Samantha Who? did well for the network when it was on Monday nights, but saw a huge decrease in audience when it moved to Thursday during the midseason.
There are still 7 episodes of Samantha Who? for Season 2, but the network may decide to make those a part of Season 3. So far it’s unclear.
That’s good news, this show was very enjoyable, if they can re-work it, I’m sure it will find it’s audience again
It’s not great but still enjoyable.
MMC doesn’t get enough screen time though… when you know how great she can be.
