The absurdity of it all. It's all intentional, I know, but it makes watching this series a very weird experience. Right now I'm at the end of season 1, and I'm not sure what to think. Is...is it brilliant? I've laughed out loud quite a lot, but I haven't quite made up my mind yet.

You can watch all episodes for free on this site. (Except off course if you're in 9 out of 10 countries of the world, where it's blocked for sure)
 
This show is fantastic, except for the last season, like most shows I suppose. Plus the movie was a letdown.

But man, great show.
 
I love this show SO MUCH.

It makes watching mainstream crap so difficult. I can't believe great shows like this are cancelled, while other terrible shows live on.

Hahaha, I love that episode.

Pizza pizza!

Strangers is a classic. One of the ugliest shows ever made, just a repugnant color scheme. Love the episode where Mr Jellyneck loses his face.
 
One of my favorite shows ever. "A Price Too High for Riches" is probably my favorite episode, along with the two-parter with the cult. I'M GONNA SIT AT THE WELCOME TABLE, GONNA SIT AT THE WELCOME TABLE ONE OF THESE DAYS, HALLELUJAH!

The movie is alright, but never comes close to matching the heights of the series.

Seriously. They've gone out of their way to make this show as unappealing as possible, lol.

The show is also surprisingly offensive.
 
One of the best, most absurd comedies in recent memory.

I even went to see the movie in theaters. The room was packed with some hard-core fans. It was awesome.

Another WTF moment. I know of David Sedaris thanks to This American Life. In his books he often talks about his sisters...And the hot one is... Jerri from SwC?!?

Yes, they are bro and sis. And don't forget The Rooster! Can you imagine what their family get togethers are like?

She sometimes does the face contortion thing like Jim Carrey. The pic is sort of a litmus test, since they purposefully try to make things on the show look as bad as possible on the surface. This is her..I think making fun of Sarah Palin.

Great show. I watched through the whole thing on Hulu two years ago. Definitely one of the most bizarre, twisted sitcoms out there.

At the time, I couldn't believe how old it was (99-00). I'd thought it was more 02-03ish.

Just wait until you get to the two parter "The Blank Stare".

I'm gonna sit at the welcome taaable, sing about it, I'm gonna sit at the welcome table one of these days. Hallelujah! I'm gonna sit at the welcome taaable. Gonna sit at the welcome table one of these days.

One of Alan Tudyk's best guest starring roles. Alan Tudyk was Wash on Firefly.

Oh, and the series finale is brilliant. The A plot is the "hot girl" (Played by Wynona Rider) in the school gives Jerri a makeover to make her more attractive while the B plot is that the school is being gradually turned into a strip mall. It was all a jab at Comedy Central's very public decision to cancel Strangers in order to replace it with another show called... Strip Mall. A show I absolutely HATED SO FUCKING MUCH.
