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. Written by KGF Vissers

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... Written by Toni Tapola, Finland

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.

Christine encourages an African-American couple to enroll its child in Ritchie's school to increase diversity, only to find out after the fact that they're raging homophobes.

Having broken up with Burton, Christine forgets that she has switched nights of care-taking of Richie with Richard since she was going to see a play with Burton. She wants to switch back to the original schedule, but Richard has already other plans for the next day. So Christine concedes and ends up spending the evening alone, since Matthew is with his new, clingy girlfriend Natalie (who is never seen again after this). Written by Toni Tapola, Finland

Christine takes care of setting up Ritchie's birthday party herself after learning that she can't afford a party planner, which will certainly draw the attention of the school's other snobbier parents.

Christine is feeling anxious over the parents' night at Richie's school. Richard then just happens to suggest that Richie finally meet the New Christine. Christine turns to Matthew for opinions because she thinks Richie is not ready. Matthew's ingenious solution is not to answer Richard's calls - therefore the meeting can be postponed indefinitely! So Christine has to confess to Richard that it is actually she who is not ready. Written by Toni Tapola, Finland

Christine freaks out when she learns that Richard and New Christine are planning to take Ritchie to a Rolling Stones concert.

After her son picks Portugal as his country in a school display, Christine is surprised to meet a Portuguese woman at the school. She befriends her, partly because the woman took no offense at Christine's Portugal-bashing, and partly because the woman seemed to share Christine's opinion of some of the other mothers at the school.

While at her son's school signing up to help at the upcoming fair, Christine runs into ex-boyfriend Burton, whose son recently enrolled. Seeing him rekindles her interest and her hopes soar when he seems interested in her, too.

Christine is divorced from Richard but continues to see him as a best friend, even when he becomes involved with a woman, also named Christine. Living in an apartment with her son Ritchie, her brother Matthew rents a separate room in an outbuilding and the two of them feed off the insecurities of the other implanted by their mother during their upbringing. Old Christine runs a gym with her best friend Barb, whose name describes her wit. Christine's insecurities are not helped by the other parents at a posh school she and Richard send their son to, one that is generally thought to be beyond the means of regular working people.
