Amazon.co.uk Review
There is nothing in South Park's seventh season to offend Tom Cruise (nothing about Scientology, at any rate; that will come in season 9). However, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Rob Reiner, the Queer Eye guys, Christopher Reeve (!), war supporters and anti-war protesters, and Mormons, do not get off so easy. But, "Who cares?" as the townspeople sing in "I'm a Little Bit Country." What matters is that with this particular episode, South Park attained the precious, syndication-ready 100-episode mark! Another milestone: "Raisins," in which Wendy breaks up with Stan, who falls under the influence of the "Goth kids" ("If you want to be one of the non-comformists, all you have to do is dress just like us and listen to the same music we do").
Even by South Park standards, season 7 is pretty hardcore. In "Christian Rock Hard," Cartman is so determined to attain platinum album status before Kyle and his band that he forms a Christian rock group. The band's repertoire makes Tom Lehrer's once-scandalous "Vatican Rag" sound like "Oh, Happy Day." But mostly, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone take Cheney-like potshots at pop-culture notables. In "South Park Is Gay!", we discover what is really behind the "metrosexual" phenomenon and the true identity of the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy quartet. In "Butt Out," Rob Reiner is portrayed as a corpulent goo-filled "fascist" willing to the sanction murder (of Cartman) to further his anti-"Big Tobacco" agenda. As you can guess from the title, "Fat Butt and Pancake Head" is a merciless deconstruction of "Bennifer," as Cartman's Jennifer Lopez hand puppet dethrones the real thing, and attracts the amorous attention of Ben Affleck. "All About Mormons" anticipates the Scientology episode, "Trapped in the Closet" (not included here, and if lawyers have anything to say about it, might not be included in a season 9 set, either) with a straight-faced musical dramatization of the Joseph Smith story. "Everyone thought we were making stuff up to be funny," Parker and Stone relate in their mini commentary (optional for each episode). "But we're not. We're not making this stuff up in this show." Which is perhaps why the episode "Cancelled," which posits that Earth exists only as reality-TV fodder for aliens, doesn't seem so farfetched. --Donald Liebenson
DVD Description
South Park Series 7 continues in the same hilarious vain as its six predecessors. Classic moments such as Cartman's attempt on Kyle's life, Jimmy and Timmy joining the Crips and the boys' experimentation with metrosexuality are all featured in the hilarious seventh season. People bearing the brunt of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s dark comedic minds in this season include Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Rob Reiner, the Queer Eye guys, Christopher Reeve, war supporters, anti-war protesters and Mormons. But, "Who cares?" as the townspeople sing in "I'm a Little Bit Country", the 100th episode. Series 7 doesn’t shy away from the more controversial story lines either – In Christian Rock Hard, Cartman is so determined to attain platinum album status before Kyle and his band, that he forms a Christian rock group. In South Park Is Gay! we discover what is really behind the metrosexual phenomenon and the true identity of the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy quartet. In Butt Out, Rob Reiner is portrayed as a corpulent fascist willing to the sanction murder of Cartman to further his anti-Big Tobacco agenda. As you can guess from the title, Fat Butt and Pancake Head is a merciless deconstruction of "Bennifer", as Cartman's Jennifer Lopez hand puppet dethrones the real thing, and attracts the amorous attention of Ben Affleck. "Everyone thought we were making stuff up to be funny," Parker and Stone relate in their mini commentary (optional for each episode). "But we're not. We're not making this stuff up in this show." Another must-buy series to add to your South Park collection.

I recieved this product as I wanted to get back into my southpark ways as it is hard to find proper televised entertainment which only features on certain days. I researched this product in order to find the best buy and this is definatley a find!the hilarity level is stil at its peak wher i stil find cartman to be the most biggoted and funniest creation since homer simpson!its also very cheap for the quality of entertainment and ther wasnt any problem with the christian rock band episode. so buy it!!

This is one of my personal favourite seasons, in which the show still continues its trend of excellence which had the bar raised in series 5. Series seven continues more of the controversial in "Krazy cripples", the episode that caused outrage for the use of Christopher Reeve and his `sick' attempt at renewing his super powers. Also excellent social commentry episodes such as "South Park is Gay" which is a satire on the metro-sexual trend and "Christain Rock Hard" which is a genius look at the whole illegal music download situation but the big laughs come from Cartman who starts his own christian rock band. I look forward to season eight next, but the bar is soon going to drop on this excellent standard.
