For her efforts, Louis-Dreyfus has been named one of the 10 funniest actresses on television by Entertainment Weekly, and TV Guide raved that “Julia Louis-Dreyfus is doing career-best work as the titular single mom.” Called “one of TV’s best sitcoms” by USA Today, “The New Adventures of Old Christine” will return for its fifth network season this fall on CBS.
