About this product

Product Information

Jerri Blank (Amy Sedaris) has been a runaway, prostitute, drug addict, and general misfit all her life. But upon her release from prison, the 46-year-old decides it's time to clean up her life, move back in with her family, and earn a high school diploma. Starting over as a freshman, hapless Jerri returns to class amidst a hostile student body and an unhelpful, self-involved faculty--among them sensitive art teacher Geoffrey Jellineck (Paul Dinello); ambiguously gay history teacher Charles Noblet (Stephen Colbert); and Machiavellian principal Onyx Blackman (Greg Hollimon)--while contending with a dysfunctional home life that includes her elderly father Guy (Roberto Gari), evil stepmother Sara (Deborah Rush), and bullying half-brother Derrick (Larc Spies). As ex-con Jerri maneuvers through the pecking order of teen life with zero social savoir-faire and her own brand of clueless prison ethics, STRANGERS WITH CANDY serves as a biting, politically-incorrect satire of moralizing afterschool specials and a hilarious look at the pangs of growing up--again. This collection includes all 10 episodes from the sadly-defunct series' first season.

  • Strangers with Candy is so hilarious and irreverent with 10 episodes each.

    Strangers with Candy was a true improv comedy show with some of the strangest lines that say nothing and everything at the same time. Its a very funny show with Amy Sedaris & Steven Colbert among others.
