Summary: I'm Sycamore. Jerri is dead!
Review: Season 2 just adds to the brilliance of this series. This show just gets better as the three years go on! I have seen every episode of season two, and i am more than satisfied. I laughed until i cried. There are so many memorable moments, like Jerri joining a cult, reclaiming her virginity, and, my favorite episode, when we find out Jerri is illiterate. The spoof on "The Miracle Worker" is worth the cost of the DVD. Everyone who bought the first season, buy this one too!! Let's make it the number one DVD so the third season will be released and we all can live happier and more joyful lives because of it!!"I want to be a robot!!"

Summary: Jerri Blank and Our Worst Impulses
Review: Strangers With Candy is a brilliant black comedy featuring one of the most (intentionally) ugly characters on TV. One of the thrilling things about Stranger with Candy is that it shows and in some ways even celebrates our darkest, worst impulses. We both are horrified by and are deeply sympathetic to Jerri's various plights: taking drugs, being made fun of, smashing the glass of a store front and stealing, calling people racist/sexist/homophobic names, etc etc. As one of the writers says on the bonus interview, "Jerri is easily hurt for someone so cruel." As viewers we get to play both sides of the fence. We get to vicariously enjoy her cruelty by reassuring ourselves that this is satire, and also root for her to win when she finds herself as the underdog. This second season is a marked improvement from the first season when the writers were still finding their footing and developing the characters. They now are blossoming into flowers that smell as good as mace, and are as powerful. I'm looking forward to the third season DVD when things get even better.

Summary: Great Show, Unfair DVD Distributor
Review: Strangers With Candy is a great show and the FIVE STARS apply to the show and its airing on Comedy Central. But the ONE STAR is for the DVD distributor who gave the show's DVD release NO english subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. Thanks for leaving me out of the fun :)

Summary: None More Black
Review: Strangers With Candy is a perfect send-up of insipid topical teen shows like My So-Called Life and the After School Specials that spewed conformist propoganda into the ears and eyes of America's youth every weekday afternoon during the 1980's. I remember watching it back when I had cable, as well as a slew of other top-notch shows that were on Comedy Central at the time (Upright Citizens Brigade, The Daily Show, South Park, T.V. Funhouse etc...). Strangers With Candy may not have been the best of these shows, or even the edgiest, but it very well may have been the darkest. South Park and T.V. Funhouse were/are certainly caustic and dark, but 'Strangers' was pitch black. This humor is truly without reverence. Nothing is sacred, all is petty, and the mere concept of morality itself becomes the joke.
Comedy Central is truly a great network. Whenever possible, complete creative freedom is given to (gasp!) the CREATORS of the show. Strangers With Candy certainly benefitted from this policy; its vision is clearly uncompromised. Every aspect of the production contributes to a consistent representation of a unified concept.
I recently rented the first and second seasons and the latter is the better of the two. I am looking forward to renting the third season. If you are a fan of black comedy, Strangers With Candy will tickle your funny bone - and then break it.

Summary: One star shies from perfect.
Review: Strangers With Candy is one of my favorite show on air. I have no idea why Comedy Central stopped the show regardless comments and requests posted by angry fans on the website.
Anyway, previous reviews already reveal how good the show is. No need to address on that issue. One thing that I couldn't agree more is the about the DVD distributor. Like one of the previous previews points out that the distributor did poor job on making of the DVD. No special features, no subtitles, no delete scenes and no add-in values. Compare to those bootlegs DVDs sell on eBay, the only difference is one is legal and the other is not.
The season one I just sold is because that. And those poor executions downgrade the marvelous title from a collection to a common DVD. Hate to give an outstanding product 4 star preview. But those who made the DVD really ruined the value of it.
Enjoy it!

Summary: Good Times!!
Review: STRANGERS WITH CANDY is one of my favorite shows. Why have they stopped making it? Although good, SEASON TWO is the weakest link out of the three seasons. This is mainly due to a two part episode that involved Jerry joining an annoying cult. I could have done without those two episodes, but thats just me, I have to say out of 30 episodes in all those two were the only ones I didn't care for. With a running time of 4 hours and 33 minutes, SEASON 2 has 10 episodes: 1. Yes You Can't, 2. Behind Blank Eyes, 3. The Virgin Jerri, 4. The Goodbye Guy, 5. Hit And Run, 6. The Blank Page, 7. To Love, Honor, And Pretend, 8. The Blank Stare part 1, 9. The Blank Stare part 2, 10. (season finale) A Price To High For Riches. "Strangers With Candy" is very original and features one of the finest and funniest cast of characters ever. The cast features: Amy Sadaris, Paul Dinello, and Stephen Colbert. The show may have been short lived on ~Comedy Central~ but it will always live on in the hearts of a legion of devoted fans.

Summary: Thank you!
Review: Strangers with Candy is such a wickedly funny show. I love the dark humor and the acting is incredible. Amy Sedaris is, of course, hilarious as Jerri Blank, everyone's favorite 46-year-old high school freshman, but Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello are just as hilarious as her callous, unconcerned teachers harboring a secret of their own. And Deborah Rush is wonderfully evil as Jerri's stepmother. Season Two has Jerri dealing with the death of her father, conquering her illiteracy, reclaiming her virginity (or trying to), and befriending a blind student, among other things, all in the show's shockingly hilarious style. Season One is just as good, but by Season Three the quality of the episodes was starting to diminish. Season Two also has a few lackluster episodes but there are more classics than duds. Fans of edgy, satirical comedy will not be disappointed. I was a huge fan of the show when it was on Comedy Central and taped all of the episodes, but as my tapes are getting worn down I am so relieved that the show has come to DVD! I had worried that the show did not have a wide enough following to warrant a DVD release, but thank god it has been released. The special features are great too as it is always a pleasure to hear these very funny and creative minds talk about their work.

Summary: They must release season three!!!
Review: Such a funny show. I can't wait to watch the third season, which I think Amy Sedaris said was her favorite in the museum of television and radio interview found on the season two DVD. I heard they were going to wait and see if they would release it based on sales of the second season, but it would be such a crime to release the first two seasons and not the third one.
