Strangers with Candy (1999–2000)
10/10
The funniest, most original show I've seen -- EVER!!!
25 August 1999
"Strangers With Candy" is by far the most original program on television at this time. From the first episode it instantly became my all-time favorite show. I've watched a lot of television over the years, so that's saying a lot!

High school can be such a hideous experience and SWC just slightly distorts and then magnifies this ugliness. Jerri tells it like it is. When she does speak her mind it doesn't appear that the other denizens of Flatpoint are very shocked or surprised. Everyone (in Flatpoint, but in real life as well) seems to have their own quirks and foibles.

I've recorded the episodes and watch them over and over, laughing just as hard (or harder) each time. Hopefully Comedy Central will bring the show back for Jerri's next shot at passing from freshman to sophomore. She doesn't stand a chance of graduating before she turns 50!!! Let's hope we have the opportunity to see it.
