This series takes a bit to warm up on quality from the pilot so stick with it, assuming you can tolerate the profanity and politically incorrect scenes. The episode intro discussions by the two create are interesting on their twisted take. A must for parkers!
Movie Reviews
Great material. Ate-up pricing and marketing
Steven J. Chappuis | American heartland | 04/10/2006

"Don't get me wrong, South Park is genius comedy. Sitcoms from the 50's through the 80's usually had a moral at the end of each ep. I dare you to find an episode of "The OC" or "Dawson's Creek" or "Prison Break" that has a healthy moral.
SP has an intelligently articulated moral at the end of (almost) every single episode. When my kids turn 14, they will be forced to watch all the back episodes.
In other matters:
You can pay $155.99 for the 5 season DVD set.
Or you can pay $128.89 and buy seasons 1 through 5 individually.
Somebody at Amazon hasn't been doing their homework.
Price this collection for $99.99 and you'll sell about a billion of them.
Update: It's April 12th, 2006 (2 days after I made the above review) and the prices of the South Park DVD's has changed. Seasons 1 - 5 now go for $29.99 each; $149.95 for all 5. The 5 season collection is $155.99. What do I get for my extra 6 bucks? A fancier box?
If you customer buys your product in volume, they usually get a discount, not an upcharge! Duh!
Update: It's Tuesday April 18th. The total price for seasons 1-5 purchased individually on Amazon is $118.85.
The box set is $145. It should be about $100 and I won't buy it until it is."
Great Show, Buy the Seasons Separately Though

"It ends up that the 1st 5 seasons separately purchased end up being around $20 cheaper than this bundle. This show is amazing, but you could buy the South Park Movie DVD along with the seasons and it'd still be cheaper than this bundle."
Twice the price

"Seasons 1-4 individually: $16.99
Season 5 : $21.99
Total Individually: $89.95
Now, what was that price again? $174.99?
riiiiight"
South Park rules but box set is $20 more

"I placed all the single volumes in the cart and the total price ($156) was $20 less than what this box set is priced at now ($175). What is up with that??!"
Buy it for the Mr. Hanky Episodes Alone
directions | Space Time Foam | 01/03/2006

"How can I describe Mr. Hanky in polite language? A scatological figure maybe. In reality he is more of a post-modern take on Jiminy Cricket. If you watch the show he is the most sincere out of all of the characters. He always manages to wrap up the episodes he is on with a sincere and happy ending. Also, as is made clear in the first episode he is on, he is a suitable holiday figure for people who are non-denominational. Anyway, I seriously think the creators of South Park should create a Mr. Hanky spin-off series. Having to cope with an alcoholic wife and disabled son, I think Mr. Hanky could use the money. As they say in the song, "if you eat fiber on Christmas eve, Mr. Hanky will be sure and come down your tree"."
