The episodes Pinkeye and Mecha striesand are my favorite and i just heard on South Park studios (...)that according to ...the complete second and third season will be releast around march or june of next year. But the realese dates are a rough estimate but south park studios will be updating it a.s.a.p. And about the commentary over the christmas holiday south park studios will be having the first ten minutes of each episode avilible for download I know it's not much but hey it's better than nothing.

Summary: Classic South Park Goodness...Nothing More, Nothing Less
Review: I don't know why so many people are complaining about this DVD set. You knew what you were getting from the get go. If someone is thinking about this set, let me clarify:
-There is nothing mentioned about "Uncensored Episodes". The only thing uncensored are the special features & the lead-ins for each episode. If you're expecting more, don't buy it.
-Its the ENTIRE first season collected in one low-cost set. Yes these episodes are already available on DVD, but now the whole first year is in a collected set, and previously mentioned, cheaper than buying the separate DVDs.
-Also, the commentary. Evidentially, it was SOOO controversial that it had to be REMOVED from the DVDs! Now you can get them by sending in the UPC, which I know is a pain, but from what I hear, its worth it!
-Lastly, ITS SOUTH PARK! Any true fan will buy this set & like it without crying.
I frankly can't wait for the next season! South Park: Buy it...Watch it...Love it!

Summary: Not as advertised
Review: I excitedly preordered this DVD set because like everyone, I know that the T&M commentaries would be as funny as the episodes themselves (See Cannibal: The Musical). This DVD set supposedly had a lot of extras that made buying it worthwhile, but I found out just after my DVD was shipped that they had pulled everything from the DVD, including the introductions that you can get on the original individual DVDs. What's with that?? Don't buy it! And be careful about preordering!

Summary: I thought it was unrated...?
Review: I watched a couple of episodes and it was still censored.

Have no idea why. I'm really starting to hate Warner Brothers DVDs, because they aren't giving what the consumers demanding (Walk to Remember has lots of cut scenes, see IMDB.com; and why are they holding back on Harry Potter Footage? Why can't they release a special DVD cut? Like the Lord of the Rings?)

I'll just stick with FOX TV DVD box sets, thank you very much.

Summary: Five-star episodes; one-star DVD set
Review: I want to begin by saying that South Park is the best show on television, ever, and I love having all of the first-season episodes together on DVD like this.

With that out of the way, it must be said that what WB has done with this set is outrageous. What could Mr. Parker and Mr. Stone have possibly said on their commentary track that would have offended someone who would spend money on a South Park box set--a set which specifically notes that it's for mature audiences on a sticker on the package? Even bleeped commentary would be better than nothing.

Apparently, you can get a set of CD's with the commentary on them, although I'm still not sure how one goes about this, unless you buy the DVD's directly from Comedy Central. But the idea of attempting to sync a CD with these episodes (if you even have a separate CD and DVD player in the same place) is absurd. The point of DVD technology is that it lets you watch the video with or without commentary. I could just easily try to sync a CD with a VHS tape as I could with a DVD. (Why did no one ever come out with audio commentaries on CD like this in the days of VHS, before DVD's came out? Because it's a really dumb idea!)

And speaking of VHS, you get to relive the days of VHS by having to fastforward and rewind to any particular parts of episodes that you might want to see, because WB failed to put in any chapter breaks within the episodes.

There are also typos on the packaging, listing at least one episode on the wrong disc.

Again, I can't deny that I'm glad to have this set, and it's pretty safe to say that these will be the most frequently-played DVD's I own. But if WB doesn't get its act together for season 2, I'm going to be reluctant to shell out the cash again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The reason behind why there are no commentaries on this set.
Review: For all of us who have this first boxed set of dvds, PLEASE just enjoy them for the sake of the episodes themselves, and for the funny intros by Matt and Trey. HOWEVER, I recently read in a brief news article the answer to everyone's major complaint: why there is no commentary track on the episodes!

According to the article, Matt and Trey did record commentaries, but Warner Home video was NOT pleased with some of the things Matt and Trey had to say - especially regarding other Warner Video titles that Matt and Trey depicted in a not-so-nice light. When Warner told them to change the commentaries, Matt and Trey said NO WAY - seems they are sick of the studios trying to tell them what's funny and what they can include in their own show - and they got fed up and pulled the commentary tracks from the dvds.

I ordered my own set of commentaries with the special offer from the website the day after the DVDs were released. That is fine with me. I would MUCH rather Matt and Trey be true to their vision of the great "South Park" than to bow down to what any studio wants them to do. Long Live "South Park"!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Regarding Commentary...
Review: The reason no commentary is on the DVD is beacause Warner Brothers wouldn't put Matt Stone and Trey Parker's recordings on the DVD without editing them.

They Badmouth the movie "Contact", which is Warner Brothers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GOOD!!!
Review: This is awsome!! The first season on DVD. A must have.
