Since all of you Colbert fans have no “Colbert Report” to watch this week, I highly suggest you get caught up on “Strangers With Candy” on Hulu, which is features the entire series on their site. But make sure you also set your TiVo to record the movie version of the television show, being featured on Comedy Central on Saturday, June 13 at 11:00 p.m. Here’s a little bit about the movie, from the Comedy Central press page:
NEW YORK, May 26, 2009 — COMEDY CENTRAL brings viewers the Network Television Premiere of the hit film based on COMEDY CENTRAL’s cult classic series, “Strangers with Candy,” starring Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, Matthew Broderick and Paul Dinello, Saturday, June 13 at 11:00 p.m.
In this prequel to the COMEDY CENTRAL television series, Jerri Blank (Sedaris) returns home after 32 years of drugs, prostitution and prison. It’s up to Blank to pull her father out of his stress-induced coma by going back to high school and winning the science fair – but even though it’s her second time around, life as a teenager hasn’t gotten any easier. Get ready for a quirky and twisted comedy like no other!
oh, cool, I didn’t realize it had never been on TV before!
I own the DVD, but it would be fun to watch it “together” with others, perhaps! :)

Haha, great minds think alike! I just watched the entire SWC series yesterday…then Down in the Basement. ;D

I also noticed that the first season, or parts of it at least, will be played on comedy central @ 2:30, 3:00 & 3:30am June 8th & 9th and @ 11:00 & 11:30am on June 8, 9, & 10. This is according to my menu guide for my cable/fios. I used the search function and those airtimes showed up–but not the movie, so set your DVRs with caution–it may be incorrect! (But, I hope it’s not! :) )

I’m surprised Comedy Central hasn’t ever aired the film before. What have they been waiting for?
Great to know that first season episodes will be on soon. I always see third season ones when the show comes on.
