Summary: FINALLY! South Park in its entirety
Review: I am very anxious about the release of this set. I've been a huge fan of South Park ever since its debut. Although I currently own the first season in the form of the VHS collection (2 episodes per tape), it'll be nice to be able to own every episode in chronological order. From what I've heard, the show's creators will be providing optional commentary for each episode which will give us insight to how each came to be.

Here are the 13 episodes from the first episode in chronological order:

1. CARTMAN GETS AN ANAL PROBE
2. BIG GAY AL'S BIG GAY BOAT RIDE
3. VOLCANO
4. WEIGHT GAIN 4000
5. AN ELEPHANT MAKES LOVE TO A PIG
6. DEATH
7. PINKEYE
8. DAMIEN
9. STARVIN' MARVIN
10. MR. HANKEY THE CHRISTMAS POO
11. TOM'S RHINOPLASTY
12. MECHA STREISAND
13. CARTMAN'S MOM IS A DIRTY SLUT

Although there are very few details about what extras are contained in the set, I can only hope that the episodes themselves are uncensored. That would be the best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this show!
Review: From what I found on other sites the DVD will be full frame with Dolby Digital 2.0 audio. It will also include, intros by Trey and Matt to each episode, Jay Leno's South Park guest appearance and two South Park Christmas music videos.
Cartman: "O Holy Night"
Ned: "O Little Town of Bethlehem"

The episodes will include:

Cartman Gets an Anal Probe
Weight Gain 4000
Volcano
Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boatride
An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig
Death
Pinkeye
Damien
Starvin' Marvin
Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo
Tom's Rhinoplasty
Mecha Striesand
Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut

I must have watched these 100's of times. Big gay Al with Stan's gay dog and Tom's Rhinoplasty with Mr. Garrison looking like David Hasselhoff are two of my all time favorite South Park episodes.

The only thing I don't like about this is that they have all been released on DVD before so there are no new episodes here.

**** One big minus, you have to order the audio commentary from Trey and Matt from the Comedy Central website. For $3.50 in shipping and handling you get 5 CD's of commentary, not bad but it should have been included in the DVD's. Apparently they said some things about the movie "Contact" with Jodie Foster, and since Jodie brings in more money than South Park, they yanked it from the DVD. *****

Summary: Great episodes, so-so dvd
Review: South park is one of my favorite shows, and I started watching it when it first came on( that would be these). So, although, these might not be the funniest episodes of south park, it brings me back to my elementary school days, and gives me a wierd kind of nostalgia. i like all of the episodes on here, esp. death. (kill me!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Disentigration was the best album ever!"
Review: I received this for Christmas the year it came out and can't tell you how my heart filled with joy to have it! I guess that's fitting since Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo makes his first appearance this season. South Park is a show that I never really saw until some time after it began on comedy central in 1997, but like many others, when I did see it I was hooked. This essential 3 DVD set includes the 13 episodes that make up Season one. Before this set arrived and before I owned DVDs (perish the thought!) I only had the first three VHS tape volumes totaling 6 episodes! So at that point I hadn't seen the majority of season one! I can still remember when there was so much talk that season sets wouldn't happen, but like Chef told Cartman - "You wait and you wait and you wait..." as did I and it finally came! Season one ran from August '97 to February '98 and includes the following:

Disc One:
01. Cartman gets an anal probe
02. Volcano
03. Weight Gain 4000
04. Big Gay Al's big gay boat ride

Disc Two:
05. An elephant makes love to a pig
06. Death
07. Pinkeye
08. Damien

Disc Three:
09. Starvin' Marvin
10. Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo
11. Tom's Rhinoplasty
12. Mecha-Streisand
13. Cartman's Mom is a dirty slut

Each disc includes the same set of South Park/Comedy Central promo commericals, but disc 3 has these additional features:
- Cartman's "O Holy Night" video
- Ned's "O Little town of Bethlehem" video
- Jay Leno's appearance on South Park (shown on Tonight Show)
- The South Park boys announce a cable ace award

Several fans have complained about the lack of episode commentary by Trey Parker & Matt Stone, but who can quibble with all 13 episodes at the push of a button? Besides each episode does include the "fireside" intros Trey & Matt did, which were the funniest of the three (the others being where they are "entertaining" senior citizens & the "makin' bacon" show) I was really happy they included them. South Park is here!

Thanks to Trey & Matt for the funny show and thanks to Robert Smith for destroying Mecha-Streisand!

Summary: Season 1 - with my FAVORITE episode yet!
Review: The 1st episode of South Park is still my favorite. I'm so happy to finally own it on DVD. Cartmen couldn't be funnier! South Park fans...now is your chance to own a piece of South Park history!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A work of comedic brilliance
Review: The first season of the highly controversial and crudely animated South Park made TV history as it pushed the limits of vulgarity on cable TV when it premiered on Comedy Central back in 1997. Not afraid to offend and full of disgusting gags and rampant profanity, there is a gleaming social commentary to it all that is hidden behind all the laughs. All 13 episodes from the first season are here as we are introduced to level headed Stan, the lone jewish boy Kyle, overweight Cartman, and ill-fated Kenny; four foul mouthed eight year olds living in the town of South Park, Colorado whose adventures range from encountering anal probing aliens (in the hilarious series premiere), to an assassination attempt on Kathie Lee Gifford, to outdueling the Grim reaper, encountering the infamous Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo, and Cartman trying to find out who is father is. Isaac Hayes is also featured as the womanizing but wise Chef, while guest voices include George Clooney, and The Cure's Robert Smith. All in all, South Park is still one of the most unadulturated and unflinching comedies around today, and if you missed out on it when it premiered, now has never been a better time to give South Park a visit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jonny Taylor sucks big time
Review: He does and their isn't much more I can say that others haven't already said about south park so just get this or another season of south park because it's worth it

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Slim package of uneven, but clever, first season
Review: The first season of "South Park" cemented the show's reputation as the most gleefully subversive TV program, animated or otherwise, since "The Simpsons". The first few episodes are crude, often thin affairs with sparse laughs, but the ball quickly gets rolling with "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" and "Death", the series' first classic. "Mr. Hanky, The Christmas Poo" is a dead-on indictment of society's obsession with political correctness, and its message hasn't dulled a bit (nor has its belly laughs). The extras are few, but Cartman's "Oh Holy Night" music video is a riot, as is "Thanksgiving With Jay Leno". This DVD collection is perfect for the hardcore "South Park" fanatics, as well as anyone who wants to catch up with one of the most outrageous (and outrageously funny) shows in television history.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: All Great but one thing i dont like..
Review: Im a great fan of south park. I own all the 3 seasons on Dvd, the only thing that i dont like is...the south park seasons on dvd have the annoying bleeps when you would see watching the tv show, those thats not really any problem still a good show, though the reason for me buying the dvd was to not have the show censored, because if that was the case, they shouldnt use those words at all.
