Amazon.co.uk Review
Set in a Colorado mountain town that gets destroyed on a regular basis and is populated by the dumbest, most vulgar characters imaginable, South Park is an anarchic animated sitcom that owes more to the spirit of Monty Python than to its comparatively tame predecessor The Simpsons. The show's origins go back to a 1995 Christmas video "postcard" called The Spirit of Christmas that a Fox Studios executive had commissioned at the previous Sundance Film Festival for $2000 having seen the work of film-makers Trey Parker and Matt Stone (Cannibal: The Musical). The adventures of Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny became an instant ratings and merchandising smash and the foul-mouthed eight-year-olds have expanded to the cinema screen (Bigger, Longer and Uncut), found their way to the MTV Movie Awards and allowed the show creators/(song) writers/voice-artists to pursue equally anarchic comedy at the box office with Baseketball and Orgazmo. Constantly pursued by a censorship outcry, the series has survived several copycat cartoon threats and even the death of its lead female vocal-artist during its third season. Perhaps the show's biggest controversy has always been that--despite a disclaimer before every episode--under-aged children still see it. But lured by a universe full of Cheesy Poofs and Cookie Dings, where no-one's afraid to badmouth school bus driver Miss Crabtree and where it's OK to vomit from being in love, it's no wonder that children of all ages can't help but love it. Seriously. --Paul Tonks

Series One: The animation may be old-style in the pilot show "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" but audiences hadn't seen anything like these 20 minutes of bleeped expletives, alien abduction and rear-end insertions before. It set the style most episodes would follow, with the children turning to the school Chef (voiced by Isaac Hayes) for help only to get a dirty song instead, a regular death for poor white trash Kenny and a moral lesson being learned at the end. An overnight success, the show drew in surprising cameo voiceovers: George Clooney provides dog growls for Sparky in "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride", "The Chick from Species" (Natasha Henstridge) is Ms Ellen in "Tom's Rhinoplasty" and The Cure's Robert Smith (Trey and Matt being big fans of the band) is himself in the Godzilla spoof "Mecha-Streisand", in which a hate campaign against Barbra Streisand was begun. Other series highlights are Chef reliving Michael Jackson's Thriller in the first Halloween special "Pink Eye", the beginnings of a TV legend in "Mr Hankey, the Christmas Poo", and the cliff-hanger finale of "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut". --Paul Tonks

3.0 out of 5 stars South Park Series 1, Ultimate Review, 2 Jul 2004
By M. Hall "darkspeedz" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have always been a fan of South Park, and since I have seen them for sale on Amazon, I simply could not resist, and I was not dissapointed. This product is a Box Set of the first 3 volumes, which make up the first series.
The 13 episodes are:

*Disc 1*
Cartman Gets An Anal Probe (Piolet episode)
Volcano
Weight Gain 4000
Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride

*Disc 2*
An Elephant Makes Love To A Pig
Death
Pinkeye (Halloween Special)
Tom's Rhinoplasty

*Disc 3*
Starvin' Marvin (Thanks Giving Special)
Mecha-Streisand
Mr Hanky The Christmas Special (Christmas Special)
Damien
Cartman's Mom Is A Dirty Slut

All Discs contain both English episodes, and Dubbed French.

Special Features:
Chaptering
Series 1 Trailer
Exclusive Introductions

The exclusive inttroductions look like they were only put in to extend the total length of each episode, which would have normally been done by the adverts. These are really poor, which the creators of South Park (Matt Stone & Tray Parker) basicaly repeat what was said about the previous episode, in different words. Then give the episode away by telling you exactlly what is going to happen

Overview:
This Box Set is a Bargain at under £20 (around £50 in shops!). Very funny and original story lines. But do yourself a favor, and skip the Matt Stone & Tray Parker episode introductions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great starter series...but SP generally just gets better., 30 May 2001
By A Customer
South Park Series I is excellent: with Cartman and his anal probe, as well as some other classics. The ending episode that leaves you wondering who Cartman's father is is also well done (although drawn out in Series II).

SP Series I is overall very good, being better than Series II, but doesn't really touch Series III and IV. The characters are still to be developed, and their voices sound different...

Still, you can't really go wrong with Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny, can you?

5.0 out of 5 stars south park series 1: hilarious south park!, 5 Aug 2003
i ordered this dvd package about 3 weeks ago and i have already watched every single episode at least once! every episode is hilarious (crude) but hilarious. i would not reccomend this to all people but if u have a very wide range of humour and you are willing to let youself enjoy these episodes, it could well be your favourite television series on tv. my personal favourite episodes are, cartman gets and anal probe, volcano, damien, pinkeye,and death. the picture quality is very good except for the first episode which generally has shadows behind the characters. but this clears up well after that episode. the sound quality is quite good, all in all making this a package well deserving of your money. watch it once, and watch it again!
