Strangers with Candy: Season 1

I love this series from Comedy Central so much, I own all three seasons on DVD. 

Reasons to love this show:

  • Stephen Colbert as a selfish teacher who is scared to be openly gay.
  • Amy Sedaris, one of the funniest women in America that should be bigger than Oprah. 
  • I’m a sucker for parodies of ABC Afterschool Specials, which this show nails pretty much every episode.

Here is the Netflix blurb:

What happens when your 46-year-old ex-addict daughter, eager to reclaim her lost youth, comes back home to live with you and attend high school? When that someone is the wild, wacky and wily Jerri Blank (Amy Sedaris), you can count on laughing till your side splits. A boldly politically incorrect series, “Strangers with Candy” purports to teach no lessons and dish lots of lies, all in the name of fun. Co-stars Stephen Colbert and Andy Sedaris.
