Amazon.com: South Park exploded on the pop culture landscape like a dirty bomb in 1997, and the 13 episodes that comprise the groundbreaking first season have lost none of their subversive impact. If Seinfeld was a show about nothing, then South Park is a show about everything, from important moral lessons in compassion and tolerance to good old-fashioned animated character assassination (Kathie Lee Gifford in 'Weight Gain 4000' and Barbra Streisand in 'Mecha-Streisand'). Like an After School Special gone quite mad, profanity-spewing third-graders Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and the ill-fated Kenny navigate childhood in their mountain town. Nothing in South Park is sacred, and each episode has something to offend, from 'Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride' (featuring George Clooney as the voice of Sparky, the homosexual dog), to the Halloween episode 'Pink Eye,' in which Cartman dresses up as Adolph Hitler. Best not to even get started on Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Pooh, or the season finale cliffhanger, 'Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty Slut.'
Each episode is preceded by a faux introduction by creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who proclaim every episode to be their favorite. Their incarnations as Rootin'-Tootin' Trey Parker and Pistol-Slingin' Matt Stone indicate that after South Park runs its course, they'd be great hosts of their own children's show, which--and this cannot be stressed strongly enough--South Park is not. Other extras include the South Park boys' appearance on the CableAce awards and 'A South Park Thanksgiving,' featuring Jay Leno, which aired exclusively on The Tonight Show. A minor annoyance is the slapdash packaging that mislabels the episodes ('Damien,' for example, is on disc 3, not 2 as indicated). --Donald Liebenson

My reviews will NOT be about the DVD. Since every episode is on here, this is what I will be talking.
Okay, so Trey Parker and Matt Stone give us the first episode "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe." This has the first normal trend of South Park which is killing Kenny in almost every episode. Although the episode itself is not entirely funny, we DO have Cartman, one of the single most hilarious characters ever created. Kudos to Mr. Parker and Mr. Stone.
From there spawns twelve ... Read More

When at the top of their game, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone deliver some of the sharpest satire and raunchiest I-can't-believe-they-did-that-on-TV comedy. For my money, "Mr. Hanky," "Mecha-Streisand," and "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig" are the highlights. Lots of laughs here.

South Park is a great show, but the DVD presentation can suck my balls.
Don't be fooled by thinking how great a 3 disc edition of season one sounds great. I can assure you that 3 discs sounds better then realizing that it is 4 episodes to a disc, and no bonus features or commentary.
If they gave the DVD presentation it deserved you would see that they could easily fit the entire first season onto 1 disc, maybe 2, and the rest of disc 2 could have been bonus features. but noooooooo, ... Read More

I love this show and I wanted to start purchasing every season....But....I just received Season 1 and noticed right away several pops in the audio on all 3 discs. Very annoying. I have been renting DVDs for years and have purchased hundreds of DVDs along with several box sets of other shows and have never had this problem. I am in the process of contacting the company that I ordered Season 1 from for an exchange. It's not their fault, but now I am very hesitant about ordering the rest of the sets from ... Read More

Yeah, I know, South Park shows elementary kids with potty mouths. Elementary kids like the show in real life and tend to copy what's on TV. Well, parents should do their job and punish them if they are potty mouths. This is not an elementary age cartoon. High School, maybe. But then again, I like South Park better than Beavis and Butthead. B&B were just plain along losers. SP always has a redemptive story in each episode. Yes, I know that's no excuse for having the kids participate in their antics but as a social ... Read More
