The New Adventures of Old Christine - 1 ª Season

Christine Campbell is a recently divorced mother who runs her own gym, for other working woman who come to work out 30 minutes. She brings her boy Richard Jr. 'Richie' to his new, exclusive school on the first day of third grade, and finds it impossible to make him -or his in-living uncle Matthew- share in her excitement. She quickly finds the other mothers are wealthy and spoiled, looking down upon working class. Her ex Richard Sr. Campbell is there too, and not only suggests she brought the kid more for her own ego then for his future, but is seen on the parking lot, kissing his new girlfriend, also called Christine, who offers to be addressed as Chrissie but is called by the snooty mothers New Christine, making Ritchie's mother 'Old Christine' (hence the title). One consolation: the kid made new friends already.

Christine finally hooks up with a new guy, only to discover that he's pathetic and has a child at Ritchie's school.

Richie dreads going to his first swimming lesson. Barb sets Christine up on a blind date. At the restaurant while waiting for her date, she meets someone else waiting for his blind date. They get along better than their set up dates.

Christine is going on her fifth date with Burton, who is just a little bit too handsome for Richard's comfort. So he proceeds to sabotage their private time. Later, he comes to his senses and invites Christine and Burton on a dinner with him and the New Christine to make amends. Somehow, things go a bit wrong...

Christine and Burton have been on a date ten times and now it's time to take the next step. Christine introduces Burton to her child, but Burton shocks her by saying he'll do the same "when the time is right".
