EP1 Pilot Jun 05, 2001

Kristin copes with audition rejections and finds herself desperate to make ends meet. So she takes a job as the personal assistant to Tommy Ballantine, a high-powered real-estate developer. Talk about a mismatch. He's a slick womanizer known as ""the master harasser disaster""; she's a virtuous naif. As it turns out, however, the playboy has met his match.

EP2 The In-Crowd Jun 12, 2001

Kristin is crushed when she overhears Santa and her two catty friends, Roz and Janis, mocking her behind her back. After she tells Tommy that desperately she wants their approval, he asks Santa to take Kristin out for a night on the town. On him. Santa grudgingly drags Miss Perfect along to a bar and grill, but the terrible trio make no attempt to hide the fact that they think Kristin is a bumpkin goody-two-shoes who will never fit in with their trash-talking ways. Kristin manages to win over Roz and Janis when she tells them a dirty sex joke, but Santa is not so easily sold. She decides to include Kristin for the girls' weekly visit at the massage parlor anyway, and then clues Roz and Janis in on the real reason she brought her -- she's arranged to have their Swedish masseur, Thorr, give Kristin the ""happy ending,"" just to see how far she's really willing to go to join the in-crowd. When Kristin freaks out during the massage, Thorr lets her know that Santa paid him to do it. She then

EP4 The Scene Jun 26, 2001

Kristin is ecstatic over landing the starring role in a play -- even if the play is off-off-off-off-off-off Broadway in some basement in Brooklyn. But, hey, a Manhattan debut is a Manhattan debut. Terry Bradshaw moves into one of Tommy's apartment buildings, and when his generous donation to Kristin's production becomes a one-upping contest between him and Tommy, Tommy puts away his wallet, and makes Terry write Kristin a check for the remainder of the $7000 she'll need to fund the show. Tommy and Aldo go down to the theater to see Kristin do her thing, but Tommy's apathetic compliment -- ""Good job"" -- makes Kristin think that he didn't like her work. So she confronts him, and he admits that he just wasn't buying her climactic kiss with the lead actor, what, since the play is called ""A Kiss Before Midnight"" and everything. When she asks why not, he says that the best acting comes from experience, and she clearly hasn't had much experience -- which reduces her to tears. Kristin goes to

EP5 The Mother Jul 03, 2001

Kristin's down-home mother makes her first visit to the Big Apple to see her daughter. Despite Kristin's pleas to her co-workers to mind their language around her mom, since the woman's an even bigger goody-two-shoes than she is, Mrs. Yancey is greeted by a barrage of dirty talk from Tommy, Santa, Aldo and Tyrique. Kristin takes mommy to see her dumpy apartment, but the elder Yancey ruins the night by telling her that she and her father want her to come home, as she's been in New York for 2 1/2 years and still hasn't made it. Kristin goes crying to Tommy and Aldo, because she doesn't want to go home to Oklahoma and can't face the family and friends who thought she'd become a Broadway star. Tommy helps her out by setting it up so she can sing at The Cabaret Room, which ends up setting him back $53,000 and change. He takes out a full-page ad for her, and the event practically sells out, but Kristin's joy is short-lived when she overhears a waiter talking about how Tommy bought out the cl

EP6 The Rival Jul 10, 2001

Kristin and Aldo try to convince hard-hearted Tommy to fund the city zoo's Monkey Island, a haven for all the underprivileged simians in the neighborhood, but when he doesn't take to the idea, Kristin sends in the chimps to do the talking. Tommy's former business associate, Peter Medavoy, pays a visit to Ballantine Enterprises to see his old partner -- and takes Kristin by surprise with his confession that he just got out of prison for cheating the I.R.S. When Peter hears about her cause -- and that Tommy won't help out -- he turns over a new leaf, and tells Kristin that he knows some money men who can assist her in putting together a fundraiser. Tommy soon realizes that Peter's generosity is really just a ploy to get Kristin into bed, as he's known the guy a lot longer than she has. But since he has no credibility with Kristin, Tommy turns to Reverend Thornhill, and asks him to break them up. The Reverend quickly sizes up that the only reason Tommy's come to him is because he himself

EP7 The Gift Jan 01, 0001

Tommy fights the planning commission for the right to put a 6-foot-tall neon ""B"" on the top of Ballantine Enterprises. When he finally gets permission, he learns from Aldo that the only reason the supervisor changed his mind was because Kristin sent the guy a cassette tape of his favorite singer, and asked that he repay her act of kindness by letting Tommy have his ""B."" Tommy goes to Kristin, wondering what she wants in return, because of course no one does favors for others without expecting something in return. But all Kristin wants is for him and Aldo to have dinner at her place, as thanks for giving her her job. So the guys join her for some down-home cookin' at her run-down, one-room apartment. After seeing the bad neighborhood she lives in, Tommy decides to repay her help by setting her up in one of his luxury model apartments -- worth $1.5 million -- free of charge.

tgibbs279 I'm writing this after seeing the second episode of the show. It was much better than the pilot, though almost anything would be. In a nutshell, Chenoweth is wonderful. She's beautiful, talented, and full of life. When she's on screen, the show is tolerable. Without her, it's dead.I have to ask this question: do we really need ANOTHER show set in New York City? I have nothing against New York, and there's nothing wrong with having a FEW shows set in the Big Apple. (Indeed, "Seinfeld" and "All in the Family" were great shows that SHOULD have been set in New York.)But enough already! It seems like NBC can't do a sitcom set anywhere BUT New York! There's a whole COUNTRY out here, guys. Would it kill you to do a show in Peoria, Paducah, or Pocatello, Idaho? America doesn't stop at the Hudson River.Back to "Kristin": keep Chenoweth and lose the office setting. Jon Tenney doesn't add a thing. In episode two, the scene with Kristin at her church was by far the best scene. Play up the "innocent Oklahoma girl tries to break into show business" angle.The pilot was bad. The second episode was better. I'm rooting for this show to improve each week. Kristin Chenoweth deserves a good show. She could be a TV superstar if a network can fashion a quality show around her.
tracy_carson I have never seen a show that I disliked more. Kristin is the worst show I have seen period. It has no redeeming qualities what so ever and the lead actress' voice is way worse that Fran Dresher.Having "Kristin" come on as some Christian who abstains from sex is the only positive point in the show.
luzerne1 I was very impressed with Kristin. It was a show that could hope make NBC a better network. With a lot of 30 minute shows boring this one made sense. Forget Frasier this show belongs on the list. You want tv to be different and interesting. One thing that needs to go is a serious reduction in Dateline which I find is useless. In short give Kristin snatched an 83/100 and it is a small little wonder. Here's to the Summer!
CountessM I just saw the premiere of "Kristin" and was really impressed. They could have made it sappy or too cynical, but it was a great balance between the two. The stars had a great feel for their roles and their characterizations were fun to watch. I'd recommend it as a great new show to keep your eyes on.
