there are a lot of great details in the show, like in one episode they're in Jellineck's art class and hanging around the room are lovely paper blocks with "CUBISM" written on them in black marker. one of them had a crude drawing of Cuba and a cigar. good poo poo.

or the episode where jerri is taking care of a baby and she tries to arrange a hot love session at a motel with the red-headed chick. jerri shows her the sexy red underwear she got for her to wear and it still has the security tag on it

and i always pay attention to what's written on mr. noblet's blackboard.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
The show had some pretty clever poo poo in the background at times. And of course, it nailed the bullshit of after-school specials to a T.

The character of Jerri Blank is based off a woman named Florrie Fisher. I think the complete DVD set for SwC even includes that video.

i think that might be why it never got super huge. it was funny but really it's a parody of a type of show that no one ever intentionally watched

Amy Sedaris is a loving treasure. She's way funnier than her brother and even though she's like 50 years old she's hot.

I don't care why goons don't talk about Strangers With Candy, just like I don't care about animes or other inconsequential minutiae that goons actually do obsess over.

Strangers with Candy was a great show and Amy Sedaris replacing Kristen Schaal on The Heart, She Holler was one of the best decisions ever

Well that's fair, because while I never watched Strangers with Candy, I did watch a couple episodes of Stella and that show was hot loving garbage.

It was a sort of parody of the useless or absent fathers in your average after-school special back in the day. The entire show was designed to be a parody of both those 70s after-school specials and The Trip Back PSA.

There was a time when Strangers with candy came on and then like that short lived 'Upright citizens brigade' came on. Dynamite combo. I'm going to go watch strangers with candy right now.

I highly recommend watching the DVDs with the cast commentary turned on. Colbert and co go over all the behind the scenes stuff and it's great.

I love both show a whole lot, but I'd even give the edge to UCB. Some of the best skits this side of Mr. Show.
Both shows also showed that hilarious women named Amy can hold their own among the boys.
