South Park - The Complete First Season

Rating:
Summary: This is not a review, really.
Review: I love South Park; it's crude, funny, and offensive. Exactly what I find funny. The satire is very on-target.

But I do not wish to really review it. I am very insulted by something that South Park, in all of its crudeness, did not offend me. It is that vile, worthless, God-fearing, chickens**t, wholesome all-American mom that has no right to insult me and other fans of this show by calling men and fathers worthless slobs, and saying that worthless crap such as Teletubbies tops this show. I've got one message for you, you old stupid bag:

I hope God condemns you to Hell for seeing this show. I hope you burn, because people like you waste away your lives worrying about whether you will go to hell or not. People like you are the reason religious fanatics are targeted by shows like South Park. Damn you! Be glad I don't have your e-mail address so I couldn't send you another little letter. But I'm sure you couldn't take criticism, you damn hypocrite!!! I hope your stupid children don't grow up as neurotic and stupid as you are.

Summary: The funniest show on TV
Review: Most comedies lose their appeal after a couple of seasons. The writing gets stale, the jokes predictable and it just gets old. South Park is still as hilarious as when it first came out in 1997. This first season is a classic that every SP fan has got to have.
And to the parent who bought this for their kid: What rock have YOU been hiding under for the past 7 years? Everyone knows that SP is NOT a kid show! And if you read the package the DVD comes in you will see an MA rating (as in MATURE AUDIENCES) and the fact that one of the episodes is titled "Cartman gets an [...] probe" should give you a clue as to its contents. And by the way, it's Kenny who gets killed every episode. Cartman is the loud mouthed racist fat kid with the [...] mom.

Summary: I just read the funniest review...
Review: Look at the "Kid's Review" written on October 30, 2004. It made me laugh out loud - you bought South Park for your 6-year-old?

And what's with the "I surely know no man could ever be of any help; NO child needs a worthless slob father" comment, you man-hating TNUC (backwards, oops). Sorry, I shouldn't say things like that; it's not your fault you were molested by your father...

Oh, and one more thing - I'd like to apologize to Jesus if He is offended by my review.

and Frankenstein, and the Tooth Fairy.

Summary: Great show / Great season
Review: For a series, especially an animated series, the first season is really good. Simpson's, for example, didn't find its groove until about the 3rd season; South Park was great right off. There are a lot of classic episodes in this season, and they are all hilarious.

For clarifications about the show (intended for those new to South Park):
[NOTE the following goes best with a warm glass of milk and the Oct 30, 2004 review entitled "THIS is for children?!" I realize that that review may not be present, and what follows will still make sense and is legit. It's just more amusing the other way.]

Yes, this show IS offensive. However, it's not selectively offensive, it's offensive to everybody and everything, especially religion. Since it makes fun of everybody, it makes it okay to laugh.

This may be advertised as "fun for the whole family," but if you think about the series and where it's coming from, that is a joke as well.

Kenny dying would be sad--if it only happened once. But since it happens every time, you know that he'll be better the next time around. Therefore, it's OK to laugh at his death.


South Park is not advertised as a kid's show, and IT IS NOT FOR CHILDREN. Comedy Central gives it an MA rating and there is a disclaimer of sorts before each episode where it mentions that it "contains coarse language & because of its content shouldn't be viewed by anyone." It's a satirical disclaimer, yes, but it DOES get across the message that the content may offend some.

In any case, parents should know what their kids are watching, and it would only make sense that they would see what a show/movie is about before buying it for their children.
In fact, if children were given something to read, instead of to watch, maybe the kids of our generation wouldn't be as brain-dead as the Teletubbies many parents let their children watch.

Introductions to episodes like Matt and Trey dressed as cowboys talking to kids is not targeting kids, but actually adults who'll remember things like the Mouseketeers and who will laugh at the parody.

-------------
In all, if you are easily offended, this show is not for you, but I recommend it to the other 20% of the population. It's occasionally witty, in a crude way of course, and extremely creative.
Just give it a try!

Summary: Great cartoon!
Review: This is the first season of 1 of the best, and longest running (popular) cartoons on TV! This has some great classic episodes like when Cartman has pink eye, and the original halloween episode. Any south park fan should have this. Buy It!
