2. I set it up to record last night

all the rest of them after I caught one episode.

I think they are showing Strangers with Candy (the movie) on Saturday and that is why they are showing the episodes.

What a hilarious show ! I dont know why I never heard of it until last night.

3. "Who are you?" "Jerri Blank." "No....who...are....you?" "Jerrrrriiiii Blannnnkkk....."

I love that show.

The cult episodes are the best though. Watching Steven Colbert sing and dance to "The King of Glory" at the end credits just takes the cake.

It's freaking hilarious. Or as Jerri Blank says, "Hi-LAR-ious!"

8. That's great.

I guess Colbert has always been somewhat insane. Back in 1999, I had never even heard of him.

9. The cult episode is on right now!

Principal Blackman is the best in those episodes. I'd kill to get my hands on one of those shirts with his face on them.

5. I love that show too

Amy Sedaris and Stephen Colbert are comedy gold. I really need to buy the DVD box set

6. Great Show

I like where the teacher was showing the girls in her class how to do a waxing on their private parts.

Too funny.

11. This is such an underrated show

Edited on Thu Jun-11-09 02:58 AM by AllenVanAllen

That show has some of Colbert's best writing! It really holds up well. I have a friend that won't watch SWC because Jerri Blank freaks him out too much!
His loss. :shrug:

12. If you remember the "ABC Afterschool Special" ...

...I think you can most fully appreciate the genius of SWC.

15. I have it on DVD.

I think their showing episodes now since they play on airing the movie version of it soon.

I also like Wigfield the book Sedaris, Colbert, and Dinello wrote together. I've lent it to a few people and they loved it too.
