Nine seasons in, and South Park hasn’t lost its ability to upset people. This boxset brings together the 14 episodes from the ninth season, including the hugely controversial “Trapped In The Closet”, which is actually one of the weaker inclusions here (and we somehow doubt that it’s Tom Cruise’s favourite, either). However, it garnered headlines for its tale of Stan taking a Scientology test, and the repercussions of it.
That said, this particular series of South Park has much more to commend it. Across the episodes in what can be easily described as a lively season you’ll find the gang starting their own talent agency, a hippie music festival coming into town, and the small matter of Mr Garrison switching gender. All of this is the foundation for a rapid-fire collection of gags.
What South Park isn’t given credit for often enough though is what’s bubbling up under the surface. The reason creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone never seem to run out of ideas is that very often they have something to say with their episodes. And while, on one level, they can be enjoyed for being the quick hits of outrageous fun they are, there’s a wise intelligence in the midst of it all, too. Perhaps that’s why the show still shows no signs of running out of steam, and season nine is the latest evidence to back that up. --Jon Foster

Some people have been complaining about the later series of south park saying they have gone down hill, but this is not the case.
This season is fantastic involving several great episodes such as:
Mr Garrisons fancy new vagina (including great storyline involving plastic surgery)
The episode where Kenny must save the world using the golden psp, the scientology episode which lead to chef's departure, another where the boys become managers of the talented singer Wing, and the episode where the boys try their hardest to lose at baseball, and of course it cant be south park without cartman upsetting a group of people, in this season its ginger people.
So I would recomend seeing all the south park you can including this series.

Season nine of South Park comes to dvd, with the fourteen episodes spread over three discs.
Languages: English German Spanish.
Subtitles: English Danish Dutch Finnish German Norwegian Spanish Swedish.
Each episode has a brief commentary from the two creators of the show. Very funny and very articulate and they say all that needs to be said about an episode in no more than four to five minutes so they are all worth listening to.
Episodes as follows:
Mr. Garrisons fancy new vagina. Mr Garrison gets a sex change operation - brief footage of a real one taking place is not for the squeamish - and Kyle tries to become a successful basketball player. It gets to brilliantly absurd levels in regards to body altering and there's a great scene where Kyle finds sympathy from Cartman can be in short supply.
Die Hippie Die sees Cartman dealing with a hippie convention as the other boys find out that their lifestyle is not all it's cracked up to be.
Wing gives a showcase to oriental singer wing as the boys become talent agents.
Best friends forever puts south parks spin on the right to withdraw life support and also throws in clever and knowing satire of the third lord of the rings film.
The losing edge is the anthesis of baseball movies.
The death of eric cartman sees him finally push the others too far and take the consequences the wrong way. Classic comedy of misunderstanding.
Erection day has schoolboy jimmy take the onset of puberty to exteme lengths in another that heights up the levels as it goes along.
Two days before the day after tomorrow is a parody of the day after tomorrow and satire of the poor response to hurricane katrina.... Read more ›

A great south park season. My personal favourite is erection day :)
Some extras like a postcard or something would be great though.

There's not many shows that seem to hit their creative stride this late into the game but the ninth series of South Park is excellent. Absolutely no-one is safe as Parker and Stone make fun of both sides of any argument and usually highlight's their stupidity. One of the good things about this season is that a lot of the episodes have the kids behaving like kids which is highlighted in "Marjorine" where the boys are freaked out by the girl's paper fortune teller, or "Free Willzyx" where they are fooled into "rescuing" a "talking" killer whale.
While "Trapped in the closet" is infamous and has some very funny moments I'd still rate it as average compared to episodes like "Ginger Kids", "Death of earic Cartmann" and the aforementioned "Free Willzyx". The season really is that good and for under £11 it's worth having just for rewatch value and unmissable if you haven't already seen the season.

South Park is an adult comedy cartoon - children and people who don't like foul language, crudity and such things should leave the building.
Before I tackle 'that', I shall say that this season has some really good episodes, and some average ones. 'The Death of Eric Cartman', 'Ginger Kids' (a fine example of Cartman's Alf Garnet/Archie Bunker side in full swing and a suitable comeuppance), 'Marjorine' and the Garrison sex-change episode are probably the stand-outs, as they are just plain funny. The 'Day after Tomorrow' parody is pretty good, and 'Best Friends Forever' is a great example of when they combine dark humour with subtle poignancy. Others, like 'Bloody Mary' are a little too much, and although the point it raises about the AA is interesting, that point is buried under controversy over the crudity level and the excessive disrespect shown to Catholicism. But that's free speech... not always palatable.
All in all this is not as classic a season as seasons 6-8 were - they were the peak so far, in terms of consistent turnout - and sadly, for reasons connected to the rest of this article, it is the last season to feature fresh material from Isaac 'Hot Buttered Soul' Hayes as Chef.
Okay... (deep breath)
Season 9 is notorious for just one episode... the 'Closet' episode. Now, I like free speech, and as other critics have pointed out, Catholicism and Mormonism come off a lot worse than Scientology. The Scientologists should not be so offended, and nor should anybody else; if the doctrine they portray is inaccurate, then say so; if not, then what the problem is, I don't know, it isn't like this has had some 'Mein Kampf' effect, and if I were Jewish I'd be wishing this is as bad as it had got in Nazi Germany....
