I've been slagging through the last few episodes of season 10 for my review. None of them look to have the potential to threaten this list - one of them is looking to be in an all-time BOTTOM five show actually - so here we are. This list covers seasons 1 through 10. I will edit in any shows from season 11 and beyond as I see them, and note the ( Read more... )

3-disc set; 14 episodes (~308 minutes)This season is perhaps best known (and is in fact marketed on this fact) for having two episodes pulled from rerun airings for a spell. Certain groups threw their weight around and put an end to the free expression of Trey & Matt, but thankfully, perhaps with the help of some episodes in the next year, they ( Read more... )

3-disc set; 17 episodes (~380 minutes)It’s hard to describe, but this fourth season is like the second year of South Park as we know it now. The first two years almost felt like a different show. Even if the quotes are still popular today and recent episodes have callbacks to the older ones, it just seems like the definition of what South Park is ( Read more... )

So, like I said in the season 2 review, the early years of South Park were a time when the show was perhaps more traditional in its relationship with the media. A product such as this, a tie-in soundtrack album, is a perfect example. Don’t let that fool you, however - it’s a fantastic collection of songs and comedy.

3-disc set; 18 episodes (~404 minutes)Unlike most runs of South Park, this one began just a short month or so after the last one concluded, but boy was it a long month. With the cliffhanger of “who is Cartman’s dad?” looming, a lot of people were anticipating the season premiere. This was still a time where the show was in the mainstream public eye ( Read more... )

3-disc set; 13 episodes (~294 minutes)I don’t know what ultimately drew me to South Park, but I’m glad I was. Basically I remember the deluge of commercials for it on Comedy Central, and must’ve tuned in because I was young and impressionable. And I was a big fan of The Simpsons and a bigger fan of Beavis & Butt-head then. At the time, there wasn’t ( Read more... )

3-disc set; 17 episodes (374 minutes)It was in the middle of this season that the “South Park” movie came out, “Bigger, Longer and Uncut.” So just like with the season made during “Team America” I reviewed, they had a bit of trouble getting quality shows out while making the film. That’s what they say, of course, and I disagree. There were some ( Read more... )

3-disc set; 14 episodes (308 minutes)This season was produced and aired in 2004. Trey & Matt were in the unenviable position of trying to make a season’s worth of South Park bookend the entire writing and shooting of “Team America.” The creative juices weren’t flowing so much in the second half of the season, suffice to say. One episode (“Quest for ( Read more... )

3-disc set; 15 episodes (330 minutes)When “South Park” premiered back in the halcyon days of 1997, I don’t think a lot of people thought it’d be on nearly as long as it has been. This was the season in which the show hit the 100 episode mark, ultimately priming it for a lucrative run in syndication (which it is currently in as a matter of fact ( Read more... )
