Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Almost there...we just need Season 3 now!!!!
Review: The best season of one of the best TV series ever made is finally coming to DVD. Its hard to say whether Season 2 or 3 is better, but Season 2 scrapes by as bit better. I can't express my jubilation at the release of this series on DVD. I love this show so much. Get this season, get all the seasons. The show will change your life, and the replay value of these episodes is infinite. This show is so good, despite its tragically short tenure on Comedy Central, that it is being made into a theatre-released MOVIE. Get very excited. Here are the episodes.
-The Virgin Jerri
-Behind Blank Eyes
-Yes You Can't
-The Goodbye Guy
-The Blank Page
-Hit and Run
-To Love, Honor and Pretend
-The Blank Stare (Part 1)
-The Blank Stare (Part 2)
-A Price Too High for Riches
My favorite episode is Hit and Run. Noblet and Jellineck are priceless in this one. This whole season is better than good, its gooder. ...

Review: The episodes for Strangers With Candy Season 2 are:

1) Yes You Can't! - During Career Week at Flatpoint Mr. Jellineck quits to follow his dreams of being a painter, while Jerri tries to discover just what her dreams are.

2) Behind Blank Eyes - Jerri falls for an ambitious blind boy named Alan who, despite staunch opposition from the school, aspires to play football for Flatpoint High.

3) The Virgin Jerri - Jerri reclaims her virginity and fights with her animal instincts as a date with a notorious cherry popper threatens to end her mission of purity before it's begun.

4) The Goodbye Guy - The Blanks are stricken with a death in the family, and now Jerri must learn how to deal with the loss of an important figure in her life.

5) Hit and Run - Jerri and Mr. Noblet must deal with intense guilt after playing a part in a horrible hit and run accident which has robbed Mr. Jellineck of his most prized possession, his own face.

6) The Blank Page - With dreams of becoming a cheerleader, Jerri attempts to learn how to read, and overcome the shame of her illiteracy.

7) To Love, Honor, and Pretend - The lines of reality begin to blur during a fake marriage exercise in Health Class led by Coach Wolf and Mr. Jellineck who act as an example of a "good marriage" for students, including a clueless Jerri, to follow.

8) The Blank Stare Part 1 - Looking for love in all the wrong places, Jerri drops out of Flatpoint High for a freaky cult.

9) The Blank Stare Part 2 - The Flatpoint faculty kidnaps Jerri in a desperate attempt to deprogram her from a cult clone back into a high school drone.

10) A Price Too High for Riches - When an expensive sneaker takes Flatpoint by storm, a financially challanged Jerri learns that sometimes money is a girl's best friend.

There you have it! All 10 episodes from the second season of Strangers with Candy completely commercial free. There is episode commentary by Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, and Amy Seadris on Behind Blank Eyes, The Goodbye Guy, Hit and Run, and The Blank Page. There is also an exclusive interview with Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, Greg Hollimon, Amy Sedaris, and Executive Producer Kent Alterman called The Museum of Television and Radio Interview. As most already know this is a 2-disk set and the DVD box format is the same as Season 1, which is very nice considering some of the cases for DVD's out there today. This season also unveils a new animated introduction to each episode, which is quite funny and fits perfectly with the show. Now, you have no more excuses to not buy this DVD. Do yourself a favor and purchase this as soon as possible and if you haven't picked up season 1, get that as well. I still can't understand why this amazing show was ever cancelled, but I suppose we have season 3 and the Strangers With Candy movie to look forward to. In closing, I want to say Thank You to the very creative and always funny Amy Sedaris, who I am a huge fan of, and a wonderfully talented cast for bringing Jerri into our lives...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The first few shows were good, then into the comode.
Review: The first 4 or 5 shows of the first season were good, but something went away after that. It never really got the edge back. And Amy Sedaris is a one track pony. And she gets old after a while. This just wasn't for me. I returned it.

Summary: Forget the features, enjoy the show
Review: The randomness of Strangers with Candy will have you rolling. Jerri Blank, a 46-year-old high school freshmen, is back to pick up where she left off. She's trashy, she crass, and refreshingly un-PC.

You'll feel dirty and heartless as you laugh yourself to tears. Hot topics that usually are addressed with sensitivity are instead taken to a light-hearted format. Sex, drugs, and her unflattering wardrobe engulf Blank's fight for acceptance.

Coach Wolf stands out in "The Virgin Jerri" with her facial expressions and sexual inuendos. The in-the-closet relationship between Noblet and Jellineck is further explored, Jerri's dad dies while she eats a hot dog (watch and you'll see), and Jerri joins a cult. This show is full of great one-liners you'll find yourself referencing. Merely hearing the word "clearly" puts a list of SWC quotes in my head.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I agree--the best season of this hysterically funny show
Review: The second season is a bit more polished than the first (the actors seem to have grown into their characters), while not being as...tired...as the third. By the third season, the show had lost a bit of its luster, but the second season is a gem.

The best episodes are the ones where Jerri joins a cult (a 2-part episode), learns how to read, and learns about marriage from Mr Jellineck and Coach Wolf. The interview as a special feature was cool too, where the actors and producers discuss the show and their feelings on it.

Many of us fans are looking forward to the movie version that should be coming out sometime next year; Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick are going to be in it as well. Can't wait!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FANDANGO?
Review: This DVD had me in tears laughing! This is a hill-air-ee-us program!! If your a fan of subversive humor, you will not be able to stop watching this!!! Cant wait for season 3.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's an A-W-E-S-O-M-E show ever!
Review: This is a great comedy show ever! The 2nd season is even better than the 1st season. You'll love it if you liked the first season.
