Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Four foul-mouthed tykes in parkas and wool caps navigate the treacherous snows of adolescence such as puppy love, sibling jealousy, and alien abduction in the cartoon that celebrates the American art of bad taste with crude, cut-out animation and construction-paper color. The pilot episode, "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe," establishes the tone and style of all episodes to come: gentle homilies and childhood innocence arising from a twisted plot with grotesque and bizarre twists, in this case involving UFOs, flaming flatulence, and a 20-foot antenna array that springs out of Cartman's butt. In "Volcano" the boys learn the masculine art of hunting endangered species and meet the mythic wilderness monster Scuzzlebutt while oozing lava threatens their town. In "Weight Gain 4000," "big boned" Cartman decides he must slam dietary supplements to beef up for a TV appearance with Kathy Lee Gifford, while Mr. Garrison (egged on by insidious hand puppet Mr. Hat) plots his revenge. Finally, Stan learns tolerance in "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" while his elementary school struggles to beat the 72-point spread in the big homecoming game--a major event in a town where many citizens never got past the fifth grade. Sweater-garbed creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone introduce each episode in bizarre fireside chats in which they proclaim every episode their "very favorite" as they exchange longing, moon-eyed glances and their dog Old Scratch changes size and breed from shot to shot. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating:  - South Park rulesSouth park is one of the best shows on any station. Sure some people complain about the language and some of the gags, but if you look and you do not have to look all that hard you will find meaningful commentaries on modern life just underneath the toilet humor. Some of the best episodes are on this volume such as Big Gay Al's big gay boat ride and Volcano, oh hell all of the epidsodes on this volume are winners. Rating: - Good for what it is. :)Now ya can't expect too much from a SouthPark DVD, and then you should be pleased with what you get. I enjoined all these episodes and the convenience DVD brings to them, but nothing outstanding here. Fireside chats between the episodes are nice, but you don't need to watch them as often as the actual episodes. A good DVD to have in your collection if your a South Park fan. Rating: - BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEF CAAAAKE!Okay, well- I'm adding this part to all my South Park Reviews: For this price for four episodes, this is a great deal. I remember buying the VHS versions first (which are split up differently), and feeling I got ripped off on those once I saw how great these DVDs were. I'll review each individual episode the best I can remember now... Cartman Gets an Anal Probe: This apparently took Matt and Trey a couple of months to do because they were still using construction paper cutouts. You could ... Read More Rating:  - Could've been better, EASILYFor the price of this disc- especially at some places- four episodes of South Park ain't bad. These are four pretty funny episodes. Now I could've given this 5 stars, but why didn't I? First of all, the video kinda sucks. I don't know what these other people are talking about but the audio sounded fine; typical South Park fare. But the video just seemed grainy to me. For graphics so simple, was it really that hard to get a good video quality out of this? But the video quality doesn't really bother ... Read More Rating: - It's super! (Thanks for asking)Man, I love that thar DVD technology, especially in the case of the `South Park' DVDs. I get four episodes on a disc, and paid just a little more than what I would've paid for one VHS volume, which has only two episodes, and takes up twice the shelf space. How's that for value and convenience? Anyway, enough gloating. Volume 1, which contains the first four episodes of the series, also includes the show featuring my favorite guest character. No, I'm not talking about Scuzzlebutt, or Kathy Lee Gifford. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
