IMDb Picks: Old-School Cool TV17 of 18
"Strangers with Candy" | Watch Now on Comedy Central or DIRECTV
Plot: At age 46, ex-con and drop out Jerri Blank returns home and re-enrolls as a freshman at Flatpoint High.
Our Take: The three seasons of this highly inappropriate and influential show still have me saying no to Glint and yes to "pizza, pizza, pizza!" It's weird to think about how Amy Sedaris was once best known through her brother David's stories, though "Strangers with Candy" changed that, as Sedaris and her Flatpoint High schoolmates hit late-night Comedy Central as the internet — a key to the show's cult status — was becoming a thing. — Arno
