If you like "The Upright Citizens Brigade" or "Strangers with Candy"

[Khephra]

Rejoice! Comedy Central has brought replays of both shows back to their schedule.

I guess the UCB had to work things out with CC to get Crossballs on. And I know CC wants to hype "Candy" now that it's being made into a movie with some major stars in it.

(Check your listings for times)

According to what Amy told the audience at the San Francisco Sketch Comedy Festival on January 18, 2004, the movie will begin with Jerri Blank still doing time in prison. When she's released she returns to her hometown of Flatpoint and learns that her mother died during her extended absence and that her father is now in a coma. Jerri approaches the principal of her old high school, Onyx Blackman, and asks if she can pick up where she left off. From there the story will basically be like an extended episode of the show. She mentioned a plot involving a Science Fair, and also said that they probably couldn't use the same actors who played students on the series because they're all four years older now and they really would have to appear to be of high school age to make Jerri stand out all the more and reinforce just how old she is compared to her classmates. Maria Thayer (Tammi Littlenut) could be an exception, though, because she doesn't look any older.
