Review: its cool but the commentaries are too short. stick with family guy.I think thats a little better then south park.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No quality control
Review: The company that produced this item must have no quality control dept. I purchased this item as a gift and Disk #2 was missing from this set and I gave it as a gift and I was very embarrassed when the item was opened on Christmas eve. I know of 2 other people that had the same problem !

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good stuff
Review: some of SP's funniest episodes (Red Badge of Gayness, Rainforest Schmainforest, etc) and a very cool (and obscure) reference to the Star Wars Holiday Special (fighting the frizzies...). Also has the worst SP episode ever: the Halloween episode featuring Korn is so bad it's unwatchable, due in no small part to the terrible voice-overs by the band. In fact, this is easily the worst episode of any animated series ever made and its inclusion in this set is the reason for 4 stars, not 5.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Season 3...well worth your cash!
Review: Let's get something straight...I have season 1 of this series already. What didn't I like about it? There were no 'chapter' selects...you had to fast forward through episodes to get to the scenes you liked in certain shows. The only chapter selects consisted of the episodes themselves. Well..season 3 fixes this problem, as there are a good amount of places for you to skip around through each show in. Also, the 'commentary-mini's' are great and informative, although you'd like them to last a couple minutes longer each one. Kudos to Paramount for doing what the brothers Warner couldn't, and that's pave the way for some 'sweet' DVD releases of South Park seasons that fan's can really enjoy.
Season 3 works on many levels, it's strong, like the Simpsons season 3, in that it kind of paved the way for how the shows of the future would be, and it didn't rely on 'shock value', as it actually had funny and...fudged up moments in it that are well worth your time. I'm sure you know the shows are funny, and even the ones that aren't a 'hit' and are more 'miss'..rest assured theres at least one scene in every show that'll have you rolling on the floor. And as Trey says..if you have season 2..throw it away. Or as I say, sell it to someone and put it towards the purchase of South Park Season 3.

I give this set 4 out of 5 stars because there could have been more extra's..but I'm a sucker for commentaries, and unlike most people that drone on and on about crap, the commentary-mini's are hilarious. Here's hoping for that Orgazmo Special Edition DVD that everone's waiting for. Now I'm gonna go eat some City Wok.

Summary: "No cake for the impuritor"
Review: South Park: The Complete Third Season is simply the best South Park DVD set available. The quality of the animation, writing and just plain goofiness is leagues ahead of the first two seasons (even though both were excellent). In season three, Trey Parker and Matt Stone make inspired swipes at: rainforest activists, Pat Robertson, home-schooled kids, pokemon, Jar-Jar Binks, Civil War reinactors, Yoko Ono and Sally Struthers (again).

The DVD packaging itself is fairly spartan in the tradition of the last two seasons. The selling point this season is that Trey and Matt give commentaries for each episode (or as they aptly christened it "commentary mini". The commentaries are short and sweet and many don't last much more than four minutes. Some have criticized them for being to short, but I think that the critics miss the point. Trey and Matt specifically said they didn't want any BS and just wanted to give some behind the scenes info and not bore the viewers with useless info for the whole 25 minutes.

The bottom line is this, if you are South Park fan, you simply cannot do without this great DVD set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stop the madness....
Review: There is some absolutely classic, can't miss stuff on this season of the greatest animated series ever. "The Succubus" is an often underrated episode that anyone that's ever been with a life sucking woman will undoubtedly love, and "Mr Hankey's Christmas Classics" have some of the funniest songs ever produced on the show(see the Dreidel Song(sp?)). Overall, not my absolute favorite season ever, but it is the best one that has come out on DVD so far, so if you liked the first two, you'll like this one also. And please, stop the whining about the "mini-commentaries" and how they've somehow ruined the DVDs. Matt and Trey have ALWAYS done things their way, and that's what makes South Park and almost all of their subsidiaries great comedy to those who "get it" and dispicable to those that don't. I, for one, get it. And I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but I personally think it'd be VERY boring to talk through an entire episode of south park, detailing frame-for-frame how and why they did what they did(not to mention that it'd be almost intolerable to listen to). And also, don't think that Trey and Matt somehow owe you anything for spending your money on this, cuz they don't. The only thing that they owe you is to produce quality shows, cuz if and when the time comes that they don't, I'm sure that South Park's "loyal" fans will have no problem bolting on them. So get over yourselves if you actually believe they owe you or any other South Park fan something for buying this.

Summary: Love south park - Hate the Mini Commentaries
Review: I am sorry, but those mini commentaries are the worst thing ever. It is like someone who will not take the time to do something right. All they do is sit there far about 2 to 4 minutes a piece and then say "well thats it lets go to the next episode."

They should have more respect for their work then that. That is like Titanic having no special features. That movie made the most in movie history, but somehow it remains one of the most basic DVD's to date.

I love South Park and I love their since of humor, but this is like the tarrence and phillip of audio commentaries. If you are not going to do them right, don't bother. It just insults your fans.

People who listen to the commentaries are looking for some fun information or just want to hear about the experience of making the episodes. This was, I hope, the only time anyone who has any talent does something this stupid with a DVD.

For example of great audio commentaries see "Used Cars" or "The Thing". They are the best I have heard yet. Canibal the Musical was pretty good too. We know you can do them right. They are fun, informative, and entertaining.

DVD's are becoming the legacy of what a movie or show will be. To me, if you have a great show or a great movie, you should do your best to make the complete package. See Cheers Season 1. That will be a classic forever.

Cmon Guys dont sell your work short. Unfortunately, your guys messed up your best seasons already. Hope you will do better in the future. Its your show and your legacy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: this show is fu@#ing hilarious
Review: this is a good dvd. i just bought it and i cant stop laughing. this is one of the funniest shows of all time. along with family guy, beavis and butt-head, simpsons futurama, king of th hill all those shows like that. the thing with this dvd is its from paramount dvd, so it has commentary from matt and trey. the thing is that is the only special feature, like behind the scenes you know the making of it or at least a music video from chef or something like that. and its 17 episodes and only 3 disc. not thats bad or anything its just that when i heard it was 17 episodes, i thought it was gonna be like 4 disc or something like that. but other than all those things its pretty good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kick @$$
Review: This South Park part so you know its going to be great. Chinpokomon is halarious and the other are great and even if it didn't come out yet I've seen all the episodes so I know it will be Kick @$$.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is going to kick ass!
Review: This has to be the funniest season of South Park with classic episodes like Tweek Vs. Craig, Chimpokomon, Are you there god? Its me Jesus, Three Guys in a hot tub, and MANY MORE. The mini commentaries will be good. And to the other reviewer on this page who said that "every single episode should have full length commentary" I say, wishfull thinking, BUT NO. Stone and Parker as so rich, it doesnt matter if they release the episodes alone or with commentaries and deleted scenes ETC.
