Product description:
Set in suburban Flatpoint, USA, Strangers with Candy twisted the conventions of the After-School Special to create a completely original comedy series. Each half hour follows the misadventures of Jerri Blank, a 46 year old high school dropout who has spent the last 32 years in and out of prison - a self described 'boozer, user and loser.' Strangers with Candy commences as Jerri decides to pick up her life exactly where she left it: living at home and starting ninth grade. Faced with classic high school dilemmas every week, Jerri's old habits - as well as the misguided advice of her self-centered teachers - cause her to resolve each crisis by learning the wrong lesson from every scenario.
Amazon.com:
She joined a cult, battled anorexia, beat sexual harassers at their own game, got fake-married, and so much more. Ever since the Comedy Central series Strangers with Candy first aired, Jerri Blank has seemed fated for humiliation, disease, and a boxed set--here, her ultimate destiny is finally fulfilled.
In creating Jerri, the 46-year-old high school freshman, Amy Sedaris and her co-stars/co-writers Paul Dinello and Stephen Colbert imagined a person who is both startlingly crass and strangely innocent. One minute Jerri is uttering the immortal line 'I like the pole and the hole'--the next she's only interested in 'pizza, pizza, pizza,' and joining the cheerleading squad. Her world view is completely unaffected by her 32 years as a 'junkie whore.' It won't take a rabid SWC fan--just a lover of wicked satire--to appreciate this trapper-keeper-shaped package and the After School Special-based stories inside. Some of the bonus features, including an interview with the stars at the Museum of Television & Radio, will be familiar to folks who have previous, single-season DVDs. However, certain new additions, such as 'The Trip Back' PSA, which stars a real-life Jerri clone, make this set a worth-owning item. Other highlights include deleted scenes--one of which features an inspirational meeting between Jerri and Buddha Stalin, Flatpoint's most controversial rock star. A clever film strip by closeted lovers Chuck Noblet and Geoffrey Jellineck on their 'research trip' to Mexico also draws chuckles. Over 30 episodes, the jokes do become a touch repetitive, but the series never loses its energy or sharp wit. If you're looking for a show that will teach you how to do the wrong things the right way, the Strangers with Candy boxed set has the lesson plan for you. --Leah Weathersby

The DVD set is worth the price for the show itself. But I received a set in which Discs 5 and 6 would not play the episodes. They were damaged from the poor packaging. But I exchanged it for another from Amazon with no hassle, and got a perfect new set. So just weigh your options. The series is well worth putting up with the bad packaging. Better than not having the set at all.

These were extremely funny about an ex-con named Jerri Blank returning home and going back to high school. Jerri goes through a lot, like taking care of a baby, spying on her kids, deciding who her true friends are, trying to stay abstinent, and much more. Mr. Noblet, Mr. Jellineck, and Principal Blackman make it even funnier. I wouldn't like to attend Flatpoint High because they hate new kids, they are racist, and don't like 'special kids' (On the other hand, maybe I would.) If you love comedy, ... Read More

This is a great collection of all 3 seasons of the show. It is total politically incorrect humor and one wonders how they got this stuff on the air back then. Total laugh out loud if you like rude humor. Packaging is flimsy, but not that bad.

a wonderful show, i dont see how I was able to miss the series and seeing the actual movie, of course you have to have the movie as well, it has alot more what some would say taboo not for made tv, unless it's for cable . it's well worth the money to make this purchase,not to mention all the other fun stuff included... I wish they would come out with another movie, or even a show.. I want more..
