This is a great collection of all 3 seasons of the show. It is total politically incorrect humor and one wonders how they got this stuff on the air back then. Total laugh out loud if you like rude humor. Packaging is flimsy, but not that bad.

a wonderful show, i dont see how I was able to miss the series and seeing the actual movie, of course you have to have the movie as well, it has alot more what some would say taboo not for made tv, unless it's for cable . it's well worth the money to make this purchase,not to mention all the other fun stuff included... I wish they would come out with another movie, or even a show.. I want more..

4 Star Rating  "Hilarious, weird and immensely rewatchable"2007-12-03
- Reviewed By olympicsfever
Having never seen SWC before, I ordered this complete series box-set not knowing exactly what to expect. I'd heard great things about it. Suffice to say, I was bowled over by how funny the show is and how excellent the performances are in it. Amy Sedaris has crafted an hilarious character in Jerri Blank, a 46-year-old high school freshman. Jerri Blank seems to be everything at once: streetwise yet innocent; lusting after boys one day and girls the next; possibly a man; an F-student but a violin virtuoso. The list goes on. Further, her old age is not mentioned once in the show as being somewhat out of the ordinary, nor does her frequently bizarre behaviour attract untoward attention. SWC really seems to exist in a parallel universe where anything can (and often does) happen. For this reason it is truly a unique and gleefully bizarre show.

There are some episodes which are truly laugh-out-loud hilarious. The funniest involve Jellineck (Paul Dinello), Noblett (Stephen Colbert) and Principal Blackman (Greg Hollimon). These three characters rarely have a line which isn't comedy gold. The episodes which feature only Jerri Blank are still funny, especially because Amy Sedaris is so brilliant in her role, but without the supporting characters the show can, at times, become a little boring. This is the case for the first four episodes of season two, which don't feature Jellineck or Noblett at all.

As for DVD features, I would take issue with the comments about the flimsy packaging. Granted, it is not an architectural triumph; however, I haven't had any problems with it, all the DVDs stay in place and nothing has fallen apart. The extras on the DVDs aren't that plentiful but they are worth watching, especially the PSA short 'The Road Back' featuring a real-life 'boozer and loser' woman who tours schools and basically yells at students with horror stories of her years spent as an addict. Clearly this film served as the inspiration behind Jerri Blank, so for SWC die-hards it is worth watching for that reason alone. There's also some commentaries which are insightful and funny.

Ultimately, I thought this was great value. You get plenty of laughs for $50 and I will certainly be re-watching it again, given there's so many lines which I am sure have slipped past me watching it the first time. If you like your comedy on the bizarre (and often rude) side, this is for you.

In this day and age not to add subtitles or captions for the Hearing Impaired is foolish at best and bordering on immoral at worst. I can't rate this product highly because of this.

"Hi, I'm Jerri Blank, and I'm a 46 year old high school freshman. For 32 years, I was a teenage runaway. I was a boozer, a user, and a loser. My friends were dealers, cons, and 18 karat pimps. But now, I'm out of jail and picking up my life right where I left off. I'm back in school, living at home, and learning all sorts of things about my body. I'm finding out that though the faces have changed, the hassles are just the same." (said at the start of each episode)

Strangers With Candy was one of the best television shows ever made in the history of television. I'm deeply saddened by its cancellation - it was somewhat ahead of its time.

This series stars Stephen Colbert as Chuck Noblet, the poorly-informed, opinionated history teacher, Paul Dinello as Geoffrey Jellineck, the fragile, feminine art teacher, and Amy Sedaris as the "boozer, user, and loser," Jerri Blank. Other characters include Principal Onyx Blackman (Greg Hollimon), Sara Blank (Deborah Rush), Derrick Blank (Larc Spies), Guy Blank (Roberto Gari), as well as many others.

(as stated at the start of this review) Jerri is a 46 year old woman that goes back to high school after 32 years of being a teenage runaway. She spent those 32 years doing drugs, drinking booze, and prostituting herself. But now she's back in school trying for a fresh start in life.

She lives at home with her stepmom, Sara (who hates her), her stepbrother, Derrick (who hates her), her stepmom's lover, Stew (who kinda hates her), and her dad, Guy (who loves her).

Chuck Noblet and Geoffrey Jellineck are two straight teachers of Jerri's that become..."friendly...after a chance meeting in a truck-stop bathroom." They get VERY...friendly...but hide their relationship from others at school since homosexuality is looked down upon. However, most of the students realize what's going on between Chuck and Geoffrey, while the teachers really have no clue.

Jerri is supposed to learn a lesson about life in every episode, but she always ends up learning the wrong lesson. Even though she learns the wrong lesson, everything seems to work out...well, for her, anyway.

This series is a mockery of after-school specials, especially Florence Fisher's documentary, "The Trip Back" from the 1970s. Jerri Blank's character was based entirely on Florence Fisher and the trials and tribulations of her life.

Strangers With Candy is silly, stupid, and enormously inappropriate, but that's what makes it so fantastic. It's one of the best shows I've ever seen, and I highly recommend it. If you like Comedy Central (ANYTHING on there), you'll definitely like this show.

I remember the first time I saw this show I thought it was so funny and so different from other shows that were on. I was so sad to hear that the show was canceled because this show was so awsome. I was searching on amazonl for this show because for a while I forgot about it and then remember it again. I was so excited to see that amazon hand the complete series for sale and at a great price. I whatch this every night when I have dinner and the shows are just as funny each time. If you are thinking of buying this please do, you wont be regret it.
