This is just like my recurring nightmare. See I'm a HS drop out and I must have some unsettled issues with it. I always have these dreams where I go back to school but I'm my current age of 34 and in the dream it's normal to everyone but me. Very similar premise.
In mine I have to go back to school for some random reason and I’m trying to dodge some of the teachers who are still there from back when I was in my teens cause I don’t want them to see me. For whatever reason I’m never in a actual classroom, the dream usually never goes pass the front lobby/commons of the high school
In mine I forget my locker combination every day and begin to annoy the office staff and have to dodge the hall monitors because I don’t have a pass and I’m late.
Me too! It was the one where her dad gets ripped apart by dogs. And when Mr. Jellineck gets hit by the car. It was really late at night and I thought " what in the world is this?" I'd never seen anything like it. It was so weird,but hilarious!
Gawd, I loved this show as a kid when it was still on TV. Also Amy Sedaris played the teacher reading the books to the kids in an episode of Wonder Showzen.
1) this was totally aired, i watched it on CC back in the day. 2) idk why but this has some strange and heavy edits. the part where they open the book and pull out a tape instead was so funny also the actual recording of the tape is really funny and is used for a call back joke later in the episode.
god I remember watching this show when it was on Comedy Central. And heard about it from a friends sister who was a prostitute. She said 'you watch Strangers with Candy don't you?' And I said "whats that?" she replied 'oh a tv show you would like'. And god bless that hooker with the heart of gold I watched it and still love it. I always thought the dancing at the end of every episode was great energy to end with. I wish they did more than 3 seasons. You could not put a show like this on tv today its too non PC and with the 'cancel culture' we live in it wouldnt last a week. SWC forever!!
no, because it's a product of it's time and it just wouldn't work, this nonsensical anti pc, "anti cancel culture" rhetoric is a very cancel to which it tries to perceive the opposite as.
God damn, I've heard Colbert talk about this show, I've seen bits, but nothing could prepare me for this. Imagine trying to put this on TV these days, they'd hunt you down with torches like the ones at the end, but bigger and with lasers.
It’s basically the same, just refilmed with the grey wig. They definitely recast some people correctly. The new mom was fantastic. At least the other actress got to be the coach. This got me through the nightmare that was known as high school. I think I should have known I was neurodivergent back then. Mr Jellyneck the art teacher is hilarious.
I never knew jerries mom was originally the gym coach, I use to love this show Amy Sedaris might be the funniest female comedian of all time, also I never knew jerries hair initially was black otherwise this unseen pilot is really close to the real one
