5.0 out of 5 stars NOT an intellectual loser or a misfit and I love this show!, February 21, 2012
By 
This review is from: Strangers With Candy Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
This is one of my old favorites. The humor is quite a bit different from what you might be used to, but I find it funny even after all these years! If you tend to have a little more of a "dark" sense of humor and are INTELLECTUALLY ABLE to parse out clever satire, this is the show for you. Episodes vary in how funny they are, there are some that have me hyperventilating with laugher and others that are not so funny or off. It also takes a little while to recognize the farce of each character. Give it 3 episodes before you judge.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrid, February 16, 2012
This review is from: Strangers With Candy Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
Show is for intellectual losers and misfits. If you find humor in parents grieving over the death of their high school daughter and a baby being bounced off a dresser, Enjoy this "show."
