Almost anti-television. Quirky and weird.

Candy borded on being retarded. I can't believe she tried out to be a cheerleader. She was such a freak!

The show,I thought,was brilliant.A very talented and creative cast.I got the feeling that,everyone involved were on the same twisted wave-length.It's something John Waters would of loved to have made,if he had the chance to do a T.V. series.I'm glad the show is on DVD now.It is one of those shows that you either LOVE or HATE,no grey area.

It's point is how stupid and meaningless life can be sometimes. It was usually hilarious and I was shocked on how far the show dared to go.
louiethe20th 03/26/2005
This is amazing! I can't believe this show is rated this high. Extremely ignorant show.

What was this mess all about, I could never watch it and the one really ugly chick? What was up with that even the promos were not funny and I was not suprised that it was canceled.

Brilliant!

Pretty bizarro show. My wife likes it. Though the show has very little in social redeeming value, some of the episodes were marginally funny. However, it fails the ESPN Test (Given the choice between this and ESPN, would I choose this) -- maybe I would watch if they were showing World Series of Poker.

Stupid plot, no follow through. They call this funny, why?
scarletfeather 08/22/2004
Never heard of the show, but it sounds like a progam about Sitcommwriter.
Tompson 08/22/2004
An excellent show. Stupid humor at it's very best.
Beka 07/20/2004
Best show ever. If you dislike this show then you have no sense of humor.
LadyShark4534 06/30/2004
The idea is creative in itself that a woman almost 50 is going back to high school. It's frikkin' hilarious to see her dress like a teen and attend classes. However, The show is kind of slow paced.
ClassicTVFan47 06/29/2004
Offensive, useless garbage.
cdmphy 04/30/2004
Best show ever until AD came along

Sick and twisted. Just the way I like it! :)
Squinn 10/02/2003
When it was good, it was great. It it failed to hit goodness, it was lame.
greggy47 08/28/2003
I watch the reruns over and over. Irreverant comedy at its best!
alty6905 08/17/2003
This show was hilarious and its a shame it got cancelled.
speeddevil 08/12/2003
SUCKED big time
thearmbarkid 07/08/2003
This show was funny, and definitely not for the thin-skinned. Comedy Central can bite me.
dlh41 06/23/2003
Another Great show taken off the air. Jerri was sooo cool. What is wrong with TV anymore? I am so glad I recorded all the shows. Is TV run by George W. Bush's Mom now?
Cheersfan2234 12/22/2002
I know Amy Sedaris in real life cause my mother and her used to work at red lobster together in there teens and early twenties. She came down to visit once and she was always making jokes. I loved her show.
LCarlborg 12/10/2002
Sucks.
abech 11/22/2002
A brilliant comedy that can be watched over and over again. It's a shame it was canceled.
Damifino 07/20/2002
I'm sure I completely missed something here, but on several viewings of "Strangers", I never: a.) saw the humor in this show, and b.) never really understood the underlying concept. Maybe I didn't really give it an honest try, but I wasn't sad to see this one go.
thatoneguy 07/14/2002
retarded.
emorog 06/28/2002
it was quite amusing.
thebud 06/28/2002
This show isn't for everyone and it's not for anyone who wants or expects to see only what they've seen before or those things that make them comfortable. It doesn't always achieve it's goal bizarre humor, but it always strives for it and often hits it and, for that alone, and to encourage others to follow suit, it gets a 5.
michellehansen 76 06/12/2002
The BEST comedy on television ever!!! Humor like Sedaris' is rare and hilarious!
melissaaufderm aur 05/16/2002
this is one of the most brilliant television shows ever...it should have its own channel (much like the simpsons)
brian tacovelli 05/09/2002
A poerfectly original comedy farce, that breaks the barriers of American television, extremely reminiscent of "Ab-Fab," acomedy that has no boundaries, one that will have a cult following for many a year.
snfltwdmac 05/08/2002
I MISS THIS SHOW!
girNchomp 04/04/2002

ImJerryBlank 11/27/2001
The FUNNIEST show ever.
SenorBeef 11/11/2001
A generally unappreciated parody and satire.
ellajedlicka21 10/16/2001
I don't think so.
cyberpeet1947 08/22/2001

Should never have been cancelled. It is such a travisty.
Alan 08/19/2001
Here is the letter I wrote to Comedy central. Everyone who loved this show as much as I did, please do the same. Strangers With Candy was with out a doubt one of the funniest and most refreshing shows that I can remember. Why on earth did you choose to cancel such a fantastic program is beyond me. With all the banal and inanely mind numbing dribble found on other networks, SWC was a refreshing oasis. In its stead, you have pathetic shows like “the man Show” which is pure crap on a cracker. I will try to be succinct, but please know that I find your decision moronic and without deliberated rationale. Among my friends, family, and co-workers this show was extremely popular. If you did not have Southpark, I would never even watch your channel anymore. Please forward this to the powers that be and give Amy Sedaris and her cast a reprieve. BRING BACK STRANGERS WITH CANDY!!!!

Hey, I grew up during the 60's and 70's and have the cynical sense of humor to prove it. So, I actually expected to laugh at this woman's ridiculous nightmarish plight - I really did! Why then, I ask myself, did this one pin the stupid meter so fast for me? The premise seemed a sure thing - 46-year-old ex-druggie returns to high school. Sounds pretty funny on paper. They just didn't manage to completely carry it off though. I think that may have been due to several factors. For instance, there was the hideous and unbelievable makeup job, which seemed sappier than it was funny, Amy Sedaris' gift for overacting, and the beyond ridiculous situations. Mostly what bothered me about this show was the underlying uncomfortable hateful feeling it conveyed. It's one thing to poke fun, but another to want to totally annihilate. It left me with the feeling that the creators had issues with their mothers.
jtb8 05/02/2001
The most creative show on television for a long time. The best part about watching a concept show is that, once you get the concept, every second of the show is funny. Re-staff the production, I don't care! They shouldn't have ever cancelled it in the first place.
mommycgl 04/20/2001
I enjoyed watching this show. She was, well, different.
callmetootie 04/04/2001
Strangers With Candy unlike League Of Gentleman or Strip Mall was watchable and at times kind of enjoyable. It was by far the strangest sitcom to hit the airwaves, and was kind of stupid in the first place, but I just don't know why they cancelled it after only like 2 seasons.
