So much comedy on television is as lifeless as dead skin cells. Tired sitcom after sitcom. Sketch comedy shows where maybe one performer out of a cast of ten shows some promise. So, I am thankful for when Exit 57 creators Amy Sedaris, Steven Colbert, Mitch Rouse, and Paul Dinello came up with the concept of lampooning after school specials featuring protagonist Jerri Blank, who is a 46 yr old former drug addict (among other things), “a boozer and a loser”, who has returned to high school for a fresh start in life. She is an odd mix of complete adolescent innocence yet informed with years of amoral street knowledge. So, as she undergoes the troubles off teen adolescence, she can go from our tread-upon sensitive victim to a lascivious villain in the blink of eye. And, boy is it funny.
