Is it foreign? Must pay more attention *note to self*

Well it's foreign to us: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangers_with_Candy

I like it purely because of Stephen Colbert. The rest of it makes me cringe.

Never heard of it!

Saw some clips, is it a comedy?

It's a really cringeworthy comedy about an older woman who goes back to school after being in prison and she's just really disgusting and sexual. It's quite difficult to watch. But yes, definitely aiming at comedy over anything else by far.

Actually, I'd encourage everyone to give it a second chance. Or, alternately, rent the film first. Yes, it's not clean; it's often tasteless (I think it's episode two where Jerri has the conversation with her dead mother's ashes, utterly vulgar and hilarious) and deliberatly politically incorrect but overall, it's really quite funny. Just don't expect family values.

Micheal I love tasteless dark humour and if you think that's why I disregard this show you're wrong.

It's just yet another poor quality comedy show.

Grossness for it's own sake is about as funny as our queen is erotic.

I dunno, I would.

Yeh and Phil would have you shot, stuffed and mounted.

I suspect you may enjoy that even more.....

Ooh, I dunno about that.

It is cringe but I am going to continue renting it.

You know Liz when she was young was pretty darned hot.

Especially if she kept the ermine gloves and crown on.
