Movie Reviews of South Park - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: "Oh my God, they killed Kenny..."
Summary: 3 Stars
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 more episodes, none of them really gut-busting hilarious (thus the three stars). In this season, we get South Park's Christmas icon...who is a piece of crap (literally). The brown little stick that is Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo. (This little guy is actually pretty funny.) In the same episode, we also get Mr. Mackey the school counselor...m'kay? (In my book, he ranks third as the most hilarious character in South Park.)
In the second episode (I think it's called "Volcano"), we are introduced to Randy Marsh, probably the stupidest(meaning in the show) character in all of South Park. (He ranks second in my book, right behind Cartman.) You don't get to see much of Randy in the first two seasons, so you unfortunately don't get to see how stupid he really is. Too bad.
Anyway, that pretty much sums up my thinking on this season. Interesting that usually comedies' first seasons are usually their best. THIS is an exception where some of the later seasons are much more hilarious than its start. A good start of a great show.
Summary of South Park - The Complete First Season
The complete first season of the television program about four irreverent grade-school kids in South Park, Colorado.No Track Information Available
Media Type: DVD
Artist: SOUTH PARK
Title: SEASON 1
Street Release Date: 06/29/2004
Genre: TELEVISION
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
