On May 11, 2007, the series was officially greenlit and given a thirteen-episode order. It was originally titled "Sam I Am" until ABC renamed it "Samantha Be Good" due to conflicts with the estate of Dr. Seuss. TV Guide later reported that ABC had changed the title of the series once more to "Samantha Who?".
Early television promotions for the series, playing off of the concept of its lead character's amnesia, appeared without stating any specific title. The lack of stated title (with a question mark shown instead) was attributed in promotions to Christina Applegate's character not remembering the name of the series.
