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 dollars after seeing the work of filmmakers 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), the MTV Movie Awards and allowed the show creators/(song) writers/voice-artists to pursue equally anarchic comedy at the cinema 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 kids 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 kids of all ages can't help but love it.

Season Three We finally meet Craig, the kid who's always sat outside Counsellor (M'kay) Mackey's office this year. In "Tweek vs Craig" the series makes the most extended and surreal use of live-action scenes so far. More tinkerings with format reassure the show can still surprise such as a three-part segment mid-way which sees the events of one night from three different perspectives. Some inspired homages and spoofs make this the best year for pop-culture references: there's a great rip on the obsessive fad of Pokémon in "Chinpokomon"; Scooby Doo is fondly parodied in "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery"; eggs are thrown at The Phantom Menace for the horror of Jar-Jar Binks in "Jakovasaurs". But to balance things out there's a far kinder wink to Star Wars (and Star Trek) that showcases the creators' fascination with Chewbacca and Endor in "Starvin' Marvin in Space!" which links back to season one and takes us to planet Marklar. The year's best star cameo is Jennifer Aniston as Miss Stevens the Choir Teacher in the love/hate of Green issues in "Rainforest Schmainforest". --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars South Park just does it time and again.. brilliant!, 15 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Finally, this excellent 3rd season gets released as a box set on DVD.. There are about 17 different titles in all, ranging from the hilarious Rainforest Schmainforest when the boys are sent to the rainforests of Costa Rica as part of the Getting Gay with kids Choir Tour. I just love the bit when Cartman strikes out on his own in search of food.

Next comes Spontaneous Combustion when the good citizens of South Park are exploding randomly and it's up to Stan's dad to find out why. Meanwhile the boys are recruited by Priest Maxi to re-enact the Stations of the Cross!

Succubis is when Chef has found love in the form of his new guitar playing girlfriend. It's up to the boys to save him from a succubus, hilariously defined by Mr Garrison as 'A woman sent from Hell to suck the life out of man'

Tweek Vs Craig is probably my favourite.. Have you ever wondered who is tougher, Tweek or Craig? Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny set up a contest to find out. Meanwhile, Mr Adler, the 'shop' class teacher is having a hard time forgetting his past.

In Jakovasaurs the boys make an exciting discovery whilst out camping - a loud, stupid and very annoying creature: a Jakavosaur. Before long the townsfolk of South Park are forced to take dramatic action in a bid to return to normal. Crazy, absolutely so!

Heh heh.. who can forget the theme from Sexual Harassment Panda ... I was humming it for days! The children of South Park are introduced to an educational panda with disastrous results - how will the school survive when faced with endless 'sexual harassment' lawsuits?

Talk about mad .. In Cat Orgy Stan's scary sister Shelly, babysits for Cartman and there is something very strange happening to Kitty the Cartman family pet.

Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub is truly bizarre; Mr Mackey hold a 'Meteor Shower Party' which has an outcome that no-one could have expected. Stan and Kyle's fathers have an encounter that will change their friendship forever.

Never afraid to be controversial, in Jewbilee the 'Meteor Shower' is celebrated at a Jewish scout camp. Kenny gatecrashes the camp but it's not long before he is discovered. Nearby a bear family is having a celebration of its own.

Chinpoko Mon is truly pertitent in the world today, when Stan, Kyle Cartman and Kenny are caught up in the latest fad from Japan; Chinpoko Mon! The children of South Park have become fanatics in their efforts to collect everything Chinpoko Mon. While the adults try to come up with a new fad to win back the kids attention, the Japanese government reveals a master plan behind the Chinpoko Mon craze.

Starvin Marvin is back in Starvin Marvin in Space! He's unhappy with where his people live, with the help of the four boys, sets about finding a new home. In South Park the CIA question Kyle, Kenney, Stan and Cartman about a UFO.

One of the coolest bands around is well documetned in Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery .. This is obviously a satire of Scooby Doo! It's Halloween in Soth Park and a party is planned down at the Docks which leads to some very unexpected guests. Kyle's Grandmother helps the boys to deal with some bullying 5th Formers.

In The Red Badge Of Gayness, our favourite Cartman attempts to change history during the town 'Civil War Enactment'. Things soon get out of hand and events snowball to a dramatic high.

And who could forget Mr Hankey's Christmas Classics? Mr Hankey celebrates Christmas by introducing a selection of hilarious festive songs from Mr Mackay, Cartman, The Broflovski family and Mr Garrison.

Another inspired Matt and Trey production is that of "Are You There God? It's Me Jesus" Jesus is under pressure to come up with something dramatic for the coming of the new Milliennium on New Year's Eve. he turns to his father for help. Cartman creates some confusion as the boys start the long journey through puberty.

Oh my .. how do they think of The Brown Noise? Stan, Kyle Kenney and Cartman take part in the biggest ever recorder concert as over 4 million 3rd graders join together in Arkansas. Mr Garrison confronts his father with an issue from the past.

Individually excellent and .. Overall just brilliant! I was lucky enough ot watch it all on tele, can't wait for this DVD release!

5.0 out of 5 stars Series 4 will never be able to top this!, 4 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Trey Parker has done it again (face it, Matt Stone does next to nothing).

The humour is as original as they come, South Park gives such a different impression from all the adverts and publicity... People who don't watch it just think it's 'fart jokes' but there is so much humour mixed in, similar in that respect to the Simpsons (although obviously far more 'frank').

Buy the video and appreciate one of the best and most misunderstood works of comedy in a long, long time.

PS. Why on earth is it 18?? There is no swearing like the film and the subject matters are no more offensive than the film... which only recieved a 15 rating.
