My son got the 1st 2 seasons on DVD... OMG! What a great show!

The sack race with her dead father's ashes... comedy gold.

Yeah that show was great, so they canceled it. Can't have funny TV, especially on Comedy Central.

The hardest I've ever laughed at a TV show was the episode where she is assigned a pretend boyfriend in one of her classes. She drives him nuts and he decides he wants the 'break up', even though it means they'll fail the assignment. So she pleads to him something like "I know things haven't been that great between us, but people can change. And I know if you just give me a little more time, I can make YOU change". Man I just about died.

Great character, total 'over the top' situations.

The actress, Amy Sedaris, actually looks really pretty. The amazing makeup they put on her makes her look so convincingly ugly, that if you see her out of it, you won't recognize her.

Edit: whoops! Looks just like her, darn you google image search!

Oddly funny show. Especially with that guy from the daily show and his lover who also teaches.

Still remember that awful scene where she says its time to "ring the liberty bell".

Or the episode where they post their art in the 'freedom cage'.
