Summary: And not a moment too soon!!!
Review: For the last few years I've been receiving requests at my website, jerriblank.com, for information about a possible DVD release of Strangers With Candy and, to be honest, I never thought that it would happen. I'm glad to see that I was wrong. It also appears to be a big seller, #8 on Amazon's list of top DVD's this week, 6/26/03. I've watched the episodes over and over and completely wore out my VHS tapes, so now that I have the DVD I don't have to worry about that anymore. And it's great to be able to pause the DVD to read the signs in the background on the school walls and admire the other subtle props created by Dylan Sheridan and the ingenious members of the production design crew. I'll certainly be buying more copies as gifts for friends and family. Not only is my mother a fan, but so are my nieces (I fast forward over the naughtiest bits for them, though). Good times!

Review: This has got to be the funniest shows on the Comedy Channel and will hopefully become a movie.... This show is a blatant slap in the face of all of those teen-angst ridden movies with Amy Sedaris playing a 42 year old high school student returning to finish before 50. Also staring the super funny Steven Colbert (does this guy ever break up?) and Paul Dinello the comic genius as two teachers/lovers who attempt to guide the naieve Jerri Blank in her quest to become popular in high school. Maybe someday.... keep the dream alive Jerri.

Review: Thank you, Comedy Central for placing effort into your new rigorous DVD production for Strangers With Candy. All of the episodes here are in pristine quality, definitely clearer than those grainy, insanely priced VCD bootlegs on ebay, and even better quality than their original airings on Comedy Central. The pilot is bizarre to watch, but its wonderful for any SWC fanatic...the texture is much different than the show ended up being. I heard somewhere that if this did well, Comedy Central would release the subsequent seasons, with the second season being released this coming November. Well, as I write this, the 1st season set is #14 on amazon.com sales rankings. So take heed, Comedy Central! Also, I just found out that a deal has been signed for a film version of the show. Just wanted to pass the great information along to everyone else. But by all means, by a copy of this. Buy a trillion copies. Show it to your friends. Bring it to the masses.

Review: I have been a fan of this offbeat comedy spin on the ol' after school special since it started in '99. Sadly it is now gone off the air, but at least we have it on dvd. This dvd has the original pilot (elements of which were used for other episodes in the season) and commentary (Amy, Paul, & Steve -- creators/stars) on 4 of the shows, it also has sneak peaks of other Comedy Central shows. The menus and packaging on this two disc set are funny and nicely done. I give it 4 stars and not 5 only b/c I want more extras (behind-the-scenes and commentary on more episodes), but really what more can you ask for when you are getting one of the best shows ever aired? The writing and the acting are superb. Bring on the other 2 seasons Comedy Central!!

Review: COMIC BRILLANCE at its best. The darkest, funniest, most politically incorrect bit of WRITING GENIOUS ever to sprout forth from Sedaris,Dinello and Colbert. Jerri Blank for PRESIDENT!. If you dont find yourself watching this over and over, laughing more and more each time then....you're a looser!! GOOD TIMES !!!

Summary: SO Good!
Review: I watched Strangers With Candy haphazardly during its run, but because of Amy Sedaris' recent ascent to quasi-stardom, I decided I really wanted this DVD. This show is easily the funniest (and meanest) thing to air on television in the past ten years. Jerri Blank is one of the funniest characters ever to emerge from television, if only because of how far-fetched her entire schtick is. Amy Sedaris is incredible, comic gold. If you're a fan of Mr. Show, The Daily Show (not counting the...interview portion), or laughing at people on short busses (and apologizing for it afterwards but not meaning it), you'll get a lot of life out of this DVD.

Review: This show is so creative and funny. When this show was cancelled a small part of me died, well that's a little extreme, but I still feel that it is one of the most hilarious shows of all time! I can't wait until season 2! PIZZA PIZZA!

Review: I'm just thrilled that Comedy Central finally released SwC on DVD! The packaging is awesome, the menus are great, and the show is, of course, so very funny. Very clear quality (unlike my worn-out VHS tapes), commentary from the masterminds, and the pilot is included as an extra! What more could you ask for? Hopefully CC will also release the next two seasons. If the first season sells well, then surely they will. So buy up, everybody! It's well worth the cash.
