Strip Mall

Strip Mall is a very stupid TV show. The entire show is built upon sex jokes and murder jokes. It's very dark and I usually like black-comedies but this one is very dumb. The story goes like this: Tammi Tyler (Julie Brown) is a former child star turned murderer turned cocktail waitress at a strip mall. She meets a fat guy who's broke and gets married to him because he's the first man she sees. Then there's some guys in a wedding taping studio which makes dirty movies in the back room. And then there's a store run by bickering lesbians.

That's it. That is the entire show. It looked like "Strangers with Candy" from the previews (That's a good show) but it ended up being like "Veronica's Closet" (That's a bad show). If a fat guy getting rushed to the hospital because of the pains in his butt sounds funny to you, then watch this. If not, wait a day and watch the hilarious black-comedy "The League of Gentlemen" * out of ****

This is one of the worst shows I have ever seen. Plain and simple. Almost nothing can get worse. The plots are always the same, not to mention stupid. I don't understand how this show can possibly still be on. I absolutely hate it. So please whatever you do, don't watch Strip Mall!!

I loved this show, it had always had 4 or more different story lines running at once. Definitely not for kids, of course. I thought it was great right after South Park. I'd love to know what happened to the show. I've tried to find out information as to what happened, but to no avail. If anyone has info. Please post it.

What an amazingly funny and original show. The cast starting with the hysterical Julie Brown(Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun) is just perfect. Add Amy Hill(All American Girl-Grandma Kim) who plays a lesbian who is always arguing with her partner and business partner(Asian restaurant-WOK-DON"T RUN) I have laughed harder during this show than any other I have ever seen(including Newhart-one of my all time favorite shows) If you like movies like Naked Gun and Airplane- you will love this series!! One of the best moments of the show is Cindy Williams playing herself. When she snubs Tammy at the dry cleaners, Tammy finds a picture of Cindy Williams in her coat. The picture is of Cindy Williams doing an unmentionable act with a bowling pin-upside down. It is awesome to see an actress like Cindy Williams being able to play herself like this. Soap opera like with many surprise twists during its short run. I can only hope that this will someday be released on DVD with special many bonus special features. Funniest series I have ever seen!!!!

I know a lot of people thought the show wasn't that good, but it made me laugh soooo much. The different story lines that ran parallel and sometimes intersected were pretty clever. Dark humour? Sure. Cringey at times? Most definitely. But watching some of the characters try to extricate themselves from their disappointing lives at the strip mall led to some hilarious situations. Chris Wylde's character seemed to be the only one having a good time ("Another day of booty duty at Port Porn!"). I hated the way it ended though. It was not only abrupt, but hastily conceived. It was like "Ok, yesterday we got canceled, so today we need to wrap this up in the worst way possible." Made me sad!
