Strangers with Candy

A spoof of the after-school specials of the 1970s and 1980s, "Strangers With Candy" is the story of 46-year-old Jerri. She ran away from home and became "a boozer, a user, and a loser" after dropping out of high school as a teenager, supporting her drug habits through prostitution, stripping and larceny. She has been to prison several times and wants to be a popular student at Flatpoint High. Possibly illiterate, she tries out eating disorders so people will like her, and at home, she has to deal with her mother's alcoholism.

Strangers with Candy twists an after-school special into something completely original, hilarious and unfit for educational purposes. Jerri Blank, a 46-year-old freshman, is a self-described "user, boozer and loser" who takes on the perils and pratfalls of Flatpoint High and life at home.

Parents need to know that this satirical comedy (which has a strong cult fanbase) contains mature humor and is geared toward adults. Jokes are crude and can be racially, sexually, and socially offensive. The series' intention is to poke fun at the ridiculous nature of the after school specials and "very special episodes" that were so popular in the '70s and '80s.
