Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I got somethin' to say!!!
Review: Amy Sedaris is absolutely brilliant, and this is the best show that ever aired on television. The cast is phenomenal and the laughs unavoidable. Good times!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Drapes Match the Shoes
Review: This series is tonic for the plethora of sickening sweet homogeneous ABC Family-style sitcoms clogging the airwaves today. If you haven't met Jerri Blank, her family, friends and teachers, your reaction will range from shock to the kind of guffaws that force you to hit pause so you can catch your breath. There's no getting around it: each episode demands multiple viewings. The season gets funnier and it's clear the writing, acting and directing is consistently inspired and hilarious. You know Amy and her pals are having a blast at every step. I love this show and I want Amy Sedaris to have my baby.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally!
Review: This is a great 10 episode DVD.
It also comes with the original pilot. I think the best "extra" is the commentary for 4 of the episodes. Giving you "behind the scenes" info on the cast and characters. I like the one comment during "a burdens burden" at the beginning it shows the two characters ripping each others clothes off and Stephen Colbert said his sweet mom thought they were "wrestling"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Who Wants Cake?"
Review: Back when there were only a handful of channels on TV to choose from, television viewers of young age were forced to watch cheaply produced "after school specials" about the burning issues of the day. Most topics dealt with dealing with peer-pressure or about having an abusive or dysfuncional family member...things that "normal" people would not find FUNNY!

The creators of Strangers With Candy with their warped sense of humor, have obviously been inspired by those humble network specials and have created a witty and politically incorrect comedy sensation. This show has developed a cult following over the past few years, and the release and (successful sales!) of the series on DVD, will further prove that Amy Sedaris, Steven Colbert and friends are some of the true comedic geniuses of their generation!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Great Show, Unfair DVD Distributor
Review: I love this show, but I give it ONE STAR because they left out English Subtitles/Captioning for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing. This makes me, one of the biggest fans of the show, not part of the fun of having a DVD collection of my number one favorite TV series ever.

Summary: Here...an actual "review..."
Review: ...instead of random "I'm so happy" blurbs from around the world. Leading a brilliantly comedic cast, Amy Sedaris stars as Jerri Blank, a 46-year-old "...user, boozer & loser..." who takes another crack at life as a high school freshman. Ridiculed at every turn by...well, everyone...Jerri falls into & struggles out of more situations than one can imagine. Sometimes questionable in taste, sometimes politically incorrect, but almost always hilarious. This 2-disc set features an unaired "pilot episode" along with the 10 episodes from Season One, previously broadcast on Comedy Central between April and July of 1999. The episodes: "Old Habits, New Beginnings (Jerri cooks up some "glint" for a cheerleader);" "A Burden's Burden (Coach Wolf hands each student a baby);" "Dreams On The Rocks (Jerri stars in the school play);" "Who Wants Cake (Jerri's told to snitch to the principal);" "Bogie Nights (Jerri falls for a transfer student);" "Jerri Is Only Skin Deep (Jerri runs for Homecoming Queen);" "Let Freedom Ring (Racial graffiti is scrawled on a wall);" "Feather In The Storm (Jerri wants to joint the debate team);" "To Be Young, Gifted & Blank (Jerri is a violin prodigy?);" and "The Trip Back (Jerri reverts to her old ways)." Parental Caution: lots of references/depictions to/of sex & drugs; you decide if your kid is old enough. Not much in the way of special features: commentaries by the three leads (Sedaris, Stephen Colbert & Paul Dinello) on 4 of the 10 episodes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Strangers with Candy - Season One
Review: I am thrilled that Strangers with Candy finally is out on DVD. I have several VHS tapes that are filled with commercials.
Its great to watch an episode all the way through without interruption. Even though I've seen every episode several times, I still laugh.
I'm going to give this DVD out as Christmas presents to my best friends!
Please hurry up and release season two!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you like sarcasm and political incorrectness...
Review: ...this DVD set is for you. Nothing beats a spoof of those after school specials that we grew up watching.

There are 2 DVD's containing episodes from the first season of Strangers With Candy. The second disc also contains the pilot episode which was not televised on Comedy Central.

You can watch each of the episodes as they were originally aired and then switch on the commentary option and watch the episodes again with Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, and Paul Dinello providing audio commentary (this alone made the DVD worth purchasing).

Rating: 5 stars
