Summary: arguably the best season of this short-lived series
Review: this is black comedy at its greatest. the first disc of this second season DVD collection houses, quite possibly, the most creative, hysterical episodes of the entire series. "yes you can't", "the blank page", "the goodbye guy", and "the virgin jerri" are my personal favorites. the only weak episode on in this collection is "a price higher than riches," although that episode still manages to be ruthlessly hilarious (as a shoe salesman, jerry asks a man in a wheel-chair "how he wore the last pair out")in an age where the vast majority of non-sitcom comedy shows are parody humor (i.e. SNL, MadTV) it's a breathe of fresh air to see something so inventive, creative, and politically incorrect; the central theme to this show is the satiring of the "after-school special" mentality; where in the end, the protagonist discovers some new enlightening, cathartic revelation about life and everything is okay again, but it's much more complex than that. the writers toss in some of the most bizarre dialogue, often laced with double negatives and contradictions (such as "must be great to hope for the things you wish you wanted", etc ...) all in all, this show is certainly not for everyone. as amy sedaris (jerri blank) said herself in an interview: "I'm glad everyone doesn't like it, that would mean i was doing something wrong." amen.

Summary: A must
Review: This show had a brief but brilliant life, surely one of the best US comedy shows of all time. Like Absolutely Fabulous these episodes just get funnier the more you watch them. As for the people that complain about special features, well it does feature the Museum Of TV and Radio interview and commentary on four of the episodes.

Summary: Bring on Season Three
Review: This show is brilliant. It is a delightful twist on the heavy-handed ABC After School Specials of the 70's. The writers and actors perfectly capture the essence of the old programs, while skewering the "very special" issues at the same time. The concept of a 46 year-old high school freshman, on its own, is hillarious. The execution in this delightful program, is outstanding. I'm waiting (not so patiently) for season three. Coach Wolf: Jerri, what does V-I-C-T-O-R-Y spell? Jerri: Fandango, . . . Hobo-Hobocamp?

Summary: Juice it! Juice it!
Review: True... the DVDs could have been alot better with extra features BUT the fact that they exist at all is "worth all the whiskey in a drunken stream." Thank you Comedy Central for putting them out on DVD!
