Trivia:
The character of Jerri is based on drug-addict Florrie Fisher, who talked to kids in schools about the dangers of drugs during the 1970s. Many of the show's story lines mirror Fisher's account precisely, including Jerri's joining a cult, lesbian compulsion and in the series finale, her relapse and return to the streets. In real life, Fisher mysteriously disappeared after her high school lecture stint, having presumably relapsed to a life of addiction, prostitution and thievery.

This is a comedy of epic proportions. I was originally annoyed, being a fan of British and subversive humor, but the first time I actually sat an watched an episode all the way through I was hooked. There's some familiar faces from SCTV, and Amy Sedaris is a genius. I'd look up the name, but Ill just call him the Daily Show corrospondent...classic. I love a show where nothing is sacred, where no race, ethnicity, or religious belief is not nailed to the wall... political correctness be damned.
I will NEVER FORGET this line... the principal and associate hold up a controversial picture of Jerri naked spread eagled... and the principal says "...not sure... it looks like two longshoremen fighting over a squirrel." Epic. Catch it late night on Comedy Central, or CC on Demand if your cable allows it.
