Talk:Strangers with Candy
The Quote Debate
Regarding the "I stole the TV"/"I stoled the TV" debate: The correct quote is "I stole the TV". Please listen to the opening sequence again -- turn the volume up if you have to. An independent confirmation of this is in the fourth question here: http://www.jerriblank.com/swcfaq.html.
Episode List
I started a List of Strangers with Candy episodes page. I based it on the List of Deadwood episodes page. It needs a lot of work. Peregrinefisher 22:07, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Jerri's Pets
Am I the only one who's noticed that in the first season, there was a recurring "pet" (a turtle, chicken, lobster, etc.) that would die by the end of the episode? --Tokachu 17:27, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, Shelly was the turtle, Sookie was the chicken, and I can't remember the names of the other pets. They make note of how they stopped doing pets on the DVD Commentary, but I don't remember them saying why. There are probably several reasons... Sexyactionnick 01:21, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Animals are hard to work with, and in some (if not all) cases require a specialist to be on set (an added expense)
- Amy Sedaris was afraid of a lot of the animals, and did it out of professionalism mostly (hated the turtle and the snake especially)
- The consistently changing pet joke was getting a little tired
- It was taking up episode time. A lot of conventions in the series, especially her opening monologues, were eventually phased out due to the time it took; thirty seconds is a very long time in television.
