DVD Strangers With Candy - Season One
Books and Publications Average Rating:

Rating: - Great way to isolate the TV to yourself
If you're tired of watching TV with people who talk during entire episodes pop this DVD collection into your player and enjoy fine comedy in silence. Most people will find it too revolting and odd to want to sit down with you. Make sure you have your unique sense of humor and gag bag in hand. Ms. Blank is truly, truly, truly outrageous.

Rating: - Amy Sedaris is hilllarious...
Strangers with Candy Season 1 is a must buy for anybody with a good taste in comedy. Alot of the jokes are not in your face and out there you have to think a little. This is no slapstick lame humor. This is a parody of those ridiculous after school specials plus alot more.

Buy this DVD, you will NOT regret it.

Rating: - Cheap as dirt, with nonsensical plot points , like A.S.S.'s
Yes, After School Specials. This is probably one of the shows that is better on VHS because the worn tapes because so much funnier given their low production look and feel. Given that, it's one of the funniest shows ever because, like all sketch comedy, it goes too far, but it's satiric aim is dead on. The only reason this series didn't take off is that it's dramatic effect is so arcane that many who see it for the first time will be shocked, or disgusted by what they see and not watch it again. Well, even those who like the show are sometimes shocked and disgusted, but the show more than makes up for it by being absolutely hysterical and featuring performers who can improvise on a dime and have wits like razors. The same can be said of the writers. When you combine these two elements you get a timeless show and this is the beginning. Enjoy

Rating: - dear real diary...
This is definitely the most hilarious (non-animated) sitcom series I've ever seen. After all the cheesily formulated, badly scripted, family oriented after-school dramas and sitcoms which has been pumped out year after year - trying to re-educate the impressionable youth (particularly rich white suburban kids) about finding a true sense of direction and morality, etc, whilst also trying to be 'entertaining' for braindead Christian families - this show was just begging to be made. If the style of humour in shows such as South Park and Family Guy appeals to you, chances are you'll probably enjoy this one. If you don't end up loving it you'll at least appreciate the satire, characterization and randomness all in impeccable timing. One episode alone contains enough original and biting material to stay in your head for weeks. Just watch for Jerri's rubber-faced expressions and reactions - a killer!!
