Kristin is an American sitcom television series created by John Markus, starring Kristin Chenoweth. The series premiered on June 5, 2001 on NBC. [1] The show was canceled on July 10, 2001, after six episodes had been screened (out of thirteen produced). [2]
Kristin Yancey (Kristin Chenoweth), a perky Oklahoma woman, takes a job as a secretary in New York City while she looks for work in show business. What she does not know is that her boss Tommy Ballantine ( Jon Tenney), hired her sight unseen from a local Baptist Church congregation in hopes of repairing his public image, which had been damaged by nearly nonstop sexual imbroglios.
Michael Speier of Variety called the series a "dud" with "incredibly stale one-liners, on-the-cheap production values and boring supporting players". [1] Anita Gates in The New York Times wrote: "The plots and situations are just tired, like the show's saccharine theme song". [3]
As of 2020, none of the series has been released on DVD for home consumption. [4]
