Summary: No commentary? What a waste...
Review: If someone were to re-author the DVDs with the commentary tracks from the Comedy Central CD, I would buy them. Perhaps offer them on Rbay or something... a legal risk probably, but Warner Home Video should know better.I'd sooner pay the same amount for a re-authored set, no matter how illegal, than give one cent to Warner Home Video. I feel totally cheated, and I didn't even buy the thing. One star. Why did they even bother releasing this? Take a look at the Simpsons releases... they're in the Top Ten. They're quality products. Too bad Matt and Trey didn't stand up for their creations and hard work.

Summary: Finally, a great series begins its run on dvd!!
Review: I first caught "South Park" on cable a few years ago at my sister's house, and immediately became hooked on the lowbrow humor, cheesy animation, and VERY FUNNY world of Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Cartman. Now, finally, "South Park" is being released on dvd season by season - I just bought mine last night, and true, while there are no real extras to speak of (the music videos are nice, though) -- the reviewer who said the intros were gone as well was wrong. Each episode is introduced by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who prove to be just as odd as the Colorado town they created (no surprise there). I've watched the first four episodes so far, the picture and sound quality are PERFECT, and even Stone and Parker manage to make every introduction (so far) unique and funny - But it's Eric, Kyle, Kenny and Stan who ARE "South Park," and it's great having the show on dvd at last. I have already mailed for the companion commentary audio cds, and while it would have been nice to have them on the dvds, I am not going to nitpick - I have been waiting for months for this boxed set just for the shows alone, which are great! My only question, though, is this -- since the set is unrated, I has assumed that no bleeping of the swearing would occur - yet in "Cartman Gets an... Probe," Stan has this massive hissy-fit and cusses up a storm to the aliens, some of which is bleeped! I think it was done for effect, not to censor, but it still caught me by surprise - as I watch all three disks, I hope they are uncensored as hinted at! Another negative point to Warner Bros., though -- not only for the lack of extras but also for the cheap, almost cardboard-like packaging of the set. Still worth it for because it IS "South Park," but hopefully the great WB will take a few lessons learned when they do Season Two . . .

Summary: Hella Ripoff!
Review: The episodes are great, but what a ripoff! The commentaries by the series' producers are available on CDs via a mail-in offer! Why? Because they are afraid children will hear some salty language? This series isn't made or marketed for children. Am I going to watch the DVD and cue up the CD at the same time? Are you kidding me? Boycott this kind of consumer abuse!

Summary: It's still a good set.
Review: Indeed, the commentary was dropped by warner bros. However, comedy central is offering a 5-disc cd commentary set for "free" if you print out their mail-order form and mail it in along with the proof of purchase from the set, the receipt and ($) for s&h.
Other than that the other features are here. There's intros to every episode, which i think are the original intros from the past dvds. There's a couple of extras on the third disc, and there's a 'promo' part with some shameless plugs for comedy central programs (including the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the Man Show).
Considering it's a tv-series, and it's the first season, the video is pretty good, particularly after the second or third episode, where the production quality of the series went up. My only problem with the set is the audio. There's clicks here and there, especially in the earlier eps. I don't remember the actual tv series to have these, so it's probably an error in the dvd production. Also, the print on the fold-out box is wrong. Apparently the 'guide' to the episodes was written based on episode numbers, while i'm assuming it was arranged by air date on the discs. The print reads that 'Damien' is on the second disc, and 'Starvin' Marvin' was on the third; it's the other way around. Finally comedy cental (or warner bros?) came to their senses and released a full season set. Even without the commentaries, it's worth it.

Summary: 2 thumbs down ..
Review: False advertising (ie: promising commentary and pulling it at the last minute) is illegal! Class action lawsuits should be filed nationwide! Otherwise, it's an excellent DVD package!

Summary: WB does it again.
Review: - One plus to this disk is that this means they will start releasing South Park in seasons instead of isolated episodes on over priced disks. - Warner Brothers dropped the commentary by the creators and didn't drop the price. I can understand if WB disapproved of the vulgar language they may have used, dismaying all the real South Park fans (adults) but "where's the beef?" in these disks? WB has to be by far the worst at putting together a DVD -- but at least they did it. - The transfer is inferior to older South Park DVD's with isolated episodes. - The DVD doesn't even have a chapter search within the episode, not a huge deal but it says something about the time put into the disk. - The episodes do include the intros by Trey and Matt, which is another plus. - Overall, I have to say -- if you have all the episodes on the older South Park DVDs or even VHS, which this transfer is comparable to, don't even bother with this disk, the extras are not worth it unless you are a die-hard South Park fan like myself and even then they are questionable.

Summary: Good, but has some flaws...
Review: Ok, this is cool that all of the episodes are on here, but I haven't seen many of the episodes in a long time, but I don't feel that they are too funny, but a few scenes really had me laughing. I say it is definately a good purchase though, but also there aren't many extras, but its an overall great buy.

Summary: Warner Brothers DVD
Review: Aparently WB removed the audio commentaries as they did not like what the artists, Parker and Stone, were saying and "it did not meet standards". The first ammendment should play a role here since it is the work of Parker and Stone, and not WB. WB and Paramount have been the worst in the DVD market, and offer nothing to the consumer. They just don't care. To think that the complete Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies complete set is not out is unexcusable, and I am sure they will surely ruin that when it finally comes out. Do not buy this South Park boxed set as it has all been released before, and they give you less than what you already have. Shame on WB.

Summary: Thanks for nothing... literally!
Review: They screwed up yet again. First they release collections, and some re-released with duplicate episodes. Now the promise of a complete season boxed set is worthless since they offer no new content compared to previous releases. There is no excuse for this delay and poor production. There's actually less on these dvds than the previous... and who knew that could be possible?! Never again.

Summary: Thumbs WAY Down for Warner Bros.
Review: My review of one star in no way reflects the quality of these great south park episodes. This is a review to reflect the dissapointment in warner brothers i have for not including the commentaries on these dvd's. This is an adult show, and from what i hear, trey and matt made adult commentaries. what am i supposed to do with the cd's? Press play on my dvd and cd player at the same time and hope that they are in unison. hey warner brothers! there is a reason south park is aired at 10p.m. eastern. You know why that is? BECAUSE IT'S NOT FOR KIDS
