Summary: Seriously, you guys. I'm experiencing a little Deja Vu.
Review: ... It houses some of the best episodes on the series so far, and that's saying something. If I were to name my favorites from season 1, I would end up naming them all so here goes:-Episode 101: Cartman Gets an Anal Probe
-102: Weight Gain 4000 (Introduction of everyone)
-103: Volcano (Introduction of Jimbo, Ned, and the Mayor)
-104: Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boatride (Introduction Big Gay Al)
-105: An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig (Introduction of Stan's sister and Mephisto)
-106: Death (Introduction of Stan's grandpa and Jesus)
-107: Pinkeye
-108: Damien (Introduction of Satan)
-109: Starvin' Marvin (Introduction of Marvin the Ethiopian)
-110: Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo (Introduction of Mr. Hankey)
-111: Tom's Rhinoplasty
-112: Mecha Striesand
-113: Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut The first season, as always, was very experimental and most of it was done with construction paper, so it looks crudder in comparison with the later seasons (which have been done with computers). The only time that the animators went back to using construction paper was for the theatrical film that was released in 1999. Even in that case, many shots were given computer enhancements. The shoddy animation became the show's "style" and is now commonplace for viewers. I greatly respect the first season and emplore all of you to do yourself a favor and preorder "South Park - The Complete First Season" to add to your most treasured collection.

Summary: Better than the Simpsons.
Review: When the Simpsons first started airing, it was funny and it was a breath of fresh air. But it has gotten better after the fourth season in terms of hilarity and the quality of the animation and now it's one the best shows on television. But when you watch the first four seasons of The Simpsons, they seem to be a bit mediocre and not funny (unless if you're a hardcore fan of The Simpsons, you'll like the first four seasons). This is the same case with South Park but slightly different. The first episodes of South Park started out just like The Simpsons, but it has evolved and became alot better. The only difference between the first few episodes of South Park and the first four seasons Simpsons is that the first few episodes of South Park aren't as boring the Simpsons'. Infact they're 10x more entertaining and alot more funnier. You'll probably recognize that once you see all the episodes in order. You'll like'em, especially if your new to the show.

Summary: Cartoons Gone Wild
Review: South Park is one of the funniest, crudest and most controversial shows in television history. Comedy Central's biggest hit to date has finally come to DVD so fans can enjoy the episodes again and again. The DVDs are better than the short lived VHS copies of the episodes that were popular for merchandise for the show and they contains tons of extras and unaired material from the shows history. The first season of the show brought us such memorable moments as Cartman getting anal probed, the kids hunting while a volcano is about to erupt, and Kenny turning into a zombie. You can witness the filth and hilarity of Cartman, Stan, Kenny, and Kyle as they overcome the problems of their little mountain town and learn life lessons along the way in each hilarious episode. The DVD contains extras like the documentary Going Down to South Park and their appearence on the Jay Leno show. The extras add to the entertainment of the episodes and gives a more indepth look at the show. The funniest is Cartman's "touching" rendition of O Holy Night. Though the DVD lacks the lost episodes "Jesus vs Santa" and the more rare "Jesus vs Frosty" from the mix, this is a perfect gift for the South Park fan in your life. A hilarious DVD, this shows why South Park is one of the best shows ever.

Summary: The Classics That Are Worth Watching
Review: I liked South Park when the episodes were less raunchy and more original. "Cartman Gets An Anal Probe" is a classic. "Volcano" is also a great episode, and you can't forget "Pink Eye", "Starvin' Marvin", "An Elephant Makes Love To A Pig" (I tried to look for that Loverboy song...), "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boatride" and "Damien" (you have to remember Mr. Garrison saying "Holy poop on a stick!"). All the episodes are great episodes. This is worth your 40 bucks. Season 5 isn't.

Summary: A solid start for.....SCREW YOU GUYS IM GOING HOME!!!!!!!!
Review: Let me tell it to you straight I LOVE SOUTH PARK, and that being said I paid very close attention to the set this came in and quite honestly, i could've been happier with the overrall package. The episodes themselves are hilarious and quick, and I LOVE the introductions by Trey and Matt(You guys NEED to start doing those bits again, they're hilarious), but have still not started to deliver topical, political humor(That starts later in the 2nd season).The episodes themselves are HILARIOUS, i will now rate each episode with a 1-10, 10 being highest:
1.<Cartman Gets An Anal Probe>-7.5/10-Not my favorite episode, I don't really like the construction paper's grainy feel, but has very funny parts in it("CARTMAN, THERE'S AN 80 FOOT SATTALITE DISH STICKING OUT OF YOUR BUTT!") and a fairly funny intro by Matt & Trey.
2.<Weight Gain 4000>-10/10-GENIOUS episode with hilarious scenes jokes and of course....Weight Gain 4000!
3.<Volcano>-8/10-Pretty funny plotline involving Skuzzlebutt the man with Patrick Duffy for a leg, and REALLY funny lines from Cartman, plus the animation is getting alot cleaner and crisper.
4.-10/10-FUNNY AS HELL, Stan's dog is gay and they try to make it not gay....HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, TWO WORDS...TELEVISION GOLD!!!
5.<An Elephant Makes Love To A Pig>-9/10-Weird idea eh? Elephants plus pigs....ah well who cares it makes for a great episode of South Park with Stan's Clone
6.<Death>-10/10- Funny episode with a really funny repeated line("I'm not touching that one with a 20 foot pole") and Creative concept.
7.-7.5/10-Funny at first but then gets a little bit stale and tired...
8.<Starvin' Marvin>-10/10-Ledgendary episode in which the boys adopt a starving etheopian, whats not to love?
9.<Mr. Hankey The Christmas Poo>-8/10-Howdy Ho! Hilarious introduction to Mr. Hankey with a hilarious scene with Kyle in the bathroom.
10.<Damien>-8/10-Pretty funny episode itself, but a HILARIOUS introduction by Matt and Trey.
11.<Tom's Rhinoplasty>-10/10-One of the best on the set, funny as mess Mr. Hat!!!
12.<Mecha Streisand>-10/10-Yet again, another ledgendary episode in which Trey and Matt really make fun of Streisand worse than anyone else in the history of the show(Besides Phil Collins...)
13.<Cartman's Mom Is A Dirty Slut>-10/10-Yes she is...but that doesnt stop this episode from being my favorite...Westside!!!
The extras on the set are lack luster, however, and dont really live up to expectations. Sure, the music videos and television promos are funny but where is the commentary here, is it THAT bad that Warner Brothers said "Nuh Uh thats too bad even for DVD release!"...I don't think so. So overall this would be a good purchase to make, just dont expect the easter eggs to be awesome.

Summary: The beginning of a beutiful relationship...
Review: The first season of South Park will be remembered like many first seasons: groundbreaking, yet not quite in stride. Like Family Guy, the second season of South Park has more memorable episodes than the first. But there are plenty of classics in this set: Cartman Gets An Anal Probe is excellent, along with Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride, Death, Starvin' Marvin, Mr. Hankey, and the season-ending cliffhangar, Cartman's Mom Is A Dirty Slut. This set is needed for all South Park fans.

Summary: Our first baker's dozen visits to that small mountain town
Review: I was under the belief that I had missed some of the episodes from the first season of "South Park," but having gone through the thirteen episodes on these three discs I was wrong. I do not know why I thought there was some other "first" episode besides "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" (besides the infamous "Jesus vs. Santa" made for FOX executive Brian Graden to send out to his friends as a Christmas card), but this is what happens when you come late to the party and have trouble remembering there is something else to watch besides "The West Wing" on Wednesday nights. So I have decided to go back to the beginning, in this case "South Park: The Complete First Season," and continue on through in order to see what I actually have missed since Comedy Central first unleashed Trey Parker and Matt Stone on the wonderful world of television animation.
There is an element of nostalgia in going back to when the idea of Cartman cursing and Kenny dying were new and provocative, but now that we are seven years down the road it is time to stop grading "South Park" on the curve:
(1) "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" just pretends that we already know who the characters are and gets right to the fun, with Cartman having been probed (guess where) by aliens. The best parts of this one are the crop circle that looks like Tom Selleck and the conversation between the visitors and the cattel (4.5 Cheezy Poofs).
(2) "Volcano" has the eruption of Mt. Evanson interfering with Uncle Jimbo's attempt to teach Stan the joys of hunting. Cartman tells the story of Skuzzle-butt and everyone is surprised when the legend turns out to be true, but the use of a 1950s "Duck and Cover" educational film as a way of responding to a lava flow is the best bit in this one (4.0 Cheezy Poofs).
(3) "Weight Gain 4000" has Kathi Lee Gifford coming to South Park to give Cartman an award for the best environmental essay and Mr. Garrison trying to kill her, which pretty much constitutes a normal day in the small mountain town. Trying to provide motivation for Mr. Garrison just takes the fun out of the idea (3.5 Cheezy Poofs).
(4) "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" has the boys convinced Stan's new dog Sparky is gay and everybody in South Park better on Stan as the new quarterback of the football team. This is an attempt to do a satirical twist on a "message" story, but it has no real pizzazz (3.5 Cheezy Poofs).
(5) "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig" begins the "South Park" fascination with the genetic engineering of Dr. Mephisto and provides the first prime example of Shelley picking on Stan. Chef's suggestion of cross-breeding sounds better to me (4.0 Cheezy Poofs).
(6) "Death" combines the wish of Stan's 102-year-old grandfather to die, Kenny's explosive diarrhea, and the attempt of the parents of South Park to get the network to take Terrence and Phillip off of the air into an episode. Mrs. Broflovski's solution to making the network capitulate, so to speak, is the best jab on this one (4.0 Cheezy Poofs).
(7) "Pink Eye" has Kenny dying early in the episode and getting Worcestershire sauce mixed in with his embalming fluid, which turns him into a zombie. Meanwhile, the boys have problems with their Halloween costumes and Cartman cannot provoke Kenny with taunts about his family being poor (4.5 Cheezy Poofs).
(8) "Starvin' Marvin" would be the Thanksgiving episode, where the boys get a young Ethiopian instead of a Teiko digital sports watch and the town is over run by mutant turkeys. Another attempt at a take off on "message" stories that is still falling short of the mark (4.0 Cheezy Poofs).
(9) "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo" is where "South Park" goes completely over the edge with this inspired parody of a Christmas special. Kyle sings "The Lonely Jew on Christmas" and the parents of South Park sanitize the kid's Christmas show beyond human recognition and endurance. The cherry on top of this one is the live action commercial for the "Mr. Hankey Construction Set" inserted into the act break When they talk about the toilet humor on "South Park," this would be what they had in mind (5.0 Cheezy Poofs).
(10) "Damien" comes down to the whole town betting on a prizefight between Jesus and Satan, which happens to be the same day as Cartman's birthday party. Everybody should see the end of this one coming, and the fact that they do not says something (4.5 Cheezy Poofs).
(11) "Tom's Rhinoplasty" has one of my favorite "South Park" plot lines and it is not the one having to do with the title, which is where Mr. Garrison goes in for a nose job and ends up looking like David Hasselhoff. Instead, I vote for Wendy Testaburger fighting for Stan's love against the substitute teacher Ms. Ellen. To be fair, Wendy warns Ms. Ellen not to, ah, "mess" with her (4.5 Cheezy Poofs).
(12) "Mecha-Streisand" does a good job of taking at face value the idea that Barbra Streisand wants to rule the world and can do so because of the Triangle of Zinthar the boys find at an archeological dig. Making fun of Streisand is okay, but I like it better when Leonard Maltin and Sidney Portier show up, and love it when the little signing girls from all those Japanese monster movies make their appearance (4.5 Cheezy Poofs).
(13) "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut" is the first season cliffhanger and focuses on Cartman's attempt to learn the identify of his father. Suffice it to say, Eric is not happy with the idea of having to wait until next season to find out, which is actually the funniest part of this one (3.5 Cheezy Poofs).
All of the episodes are introduced by Parker and Stone, who are not as funny as their animated creations and for the sake of argument we will just say that is on purpose. In terms of the extras the short clip of Jay Leno visiting South Park is okay, as is the boys appearing the Cable Ace Awards, but the only real gem is Cartman singing "O Holy Night" while Kyle encourages him with a cattle prod, which is certainly as fine as any single scene from the complete first season. Certainly "South Park" was different, especially when it comes to mixing being audacious with being crude, but from our perspective today it is clear Parker and Stone were trying to find their comedy footing at this point.
