DVD Reviews of South Park - The Complete Fifth Season

DVD Review: This was still good, but the series started to change in this season
Summary: 4 Stars

Hello everyone,
I'd like to add my own two cents about this Season of South Park. This is where the show started to lose some of it's steam. Don't get me wrong... This season has a lot great episodes in it, (Like "Towelie," and "Cripple Fight," and "Super Best Friends "to name a few. I love re-watching those episodes still, years later after first seeing them) but somehow, this season is where the show started to shake of it's quirky and obscure presentation. It somehow shifted from being about a bunch of hicks in a small town encountering some really bizarre things to more of a realistic story telling effort in each episode. (If you are familiar with the first couple of seasons you will know what I mean.) For example, remember all the early seasons that dealt with genetic engineering, aliens, obscure references to old sitcoms, Mecha-Streisand, underpants gnomes, tons of potty mouth, etc? Now in this season you are getting some great episodes mixed in with some things that are still pretty funny, but not anything super hilarious. Examples of decent but not great episodes, "Proper Condom Use," "Here Comes the Neighborhood," etc. This season was a mixed bag overall, with some episodes being pretty cool to watch, while others tried very hard to be taken seriously while telling a story. If you remember, the first couple of seasons had plots to them, but seriously nothing this in depth.

Still it's better than when South Park stuped to new lows by making every new episode about what was going on in the news that week or some other current event. Those episodes were just horrible. Seeing them a few years after they were released, and that current event or whatever has drifted to the back of your mind, all of them aren't that bad, (SOME ARE STILL BAD) but still could be better. If anyone is wondering when this show went COMPLETELY BAD, in my opinion, this show jumped the shark for me in 2006 with Season 10. (The only episode on that season I liked was "Make Love, Not Warcraft.") I didn't even watch most of those episodes. I was just thinking,"Please spare my memories of this AWESOME show, I used to love, and just take it off the air if you are running out of ideas!" SOME of the new episodes are getting slightly better though... Overall, South Park Season 5 should be anyone's collection. As well as, seasons 1-9. Thanks for reading!

DVD Review: South Park Season 5
Summary: 4 Stars

Yet again, the amazing Trey Parker and Matt Stone give us another amazing season of South Park. This season has some of my favorite episodes; Super best friends - Jesus teams up with some of religions greatest names to destroy David Blaine. Scott Tenerman must die - one of the darkest episodes to date, and is refenced in future episodes (I'll make you eat your parents) of season five. Overall, a very storng season and a must have for fans of south park!

DVD Review: golden years of southpark!
Summary: 5 Stars

yep...some of the best episodes everrr....just like the simpsons golden years (seasons 3-8). good stuff, period.

DVD Review: One of my Favorite Seasons!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This season is awesome and extremely funny! Eric, Kyle, Stan, and Kenny deal with the 'S' word, get revenge on Scott Tenorman, open an amusement park, learn about safe sex, help a talking towel that likes to get high, fight Osama bin Laden, and much more! I highly recommend SOUTH PARK: THE COMPLETE 5TH SEASON!!!

DVD Review: Lacks Great extras, but still a Great Show
Summary: 4 Stars

South Park- The Complete Fifth Season
If you love this show, you already know what this is about. This a satirical adult cartoon. Season five features episodes 502 through 514; this includes episodes like: It Hits the Fan where they say certain vulgar swear word 162 times just to show how stupid it is, Scott Tenorman Must Die where a teenager sells his pubic hair to Cartman and Cartman seeks revenge, and Proper Condom Use where Sex Ed is taught in school. Yes, some of these episodes sound ridiculous, but they aren't idiotic.

This is a 3-Disk set about four kids growing up in a small town called South Park. Stan is usually the one that tells the moral of the story. Kyle is Jewish and often struggles with being picked on. Cartman is an a-hole and is usually the cause of the kids' problems. The famous Kenny dies in almost every episode. There are a few side characters that will amuse you and become know to you quickly in the show.

Overall this is a great set worth checking out if you love South Park or if you are looking to get into it. For those who love extras, this isn't full of them but features the creators' thoughts on each episode. This season really packs some humorous episodes worth checking out.

Comedy, Lenny Bruce once said, is tragedy plus time. Less than two months--hardly any time at all--had elapsed after September 11 when South Park broadcast an episode that addressed the tragedy. Wit and satire have their place, of course, but in the aftermath of epochal upheaval, sometimes good old-fashioned ridicule can diminish an enemy and help to heal a grieving nation. The Emmy-nominated episode "Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants" does the cathartic trick, as Cartman plays Bugs Bunny to Osama's Elmer Fudd with a series of humiliating pranks, one of which reveals Osama's miniscule Bin Laden. "This is how we deal with stuff," creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone remark during the "commentary-mini," a listening option on each episode. In this fifth season, "It Hits the Fan," to quote the title of the notorious season-opening episode, in which the "S" word is uttered a staggering 162 times. In another series milestone, "Kenny Dies," and actually stays dead (at least until season 6). One of South Park's best characters gets his own half hour in "Butters' Very Own Episode," while one of the series' absolute worst, "Towelie," also gets his. Over the course of these 14 episodes, many life lessons are learned about sex education ("Proper Condom Use"), prejudice ("Here Comes the Neighborhood") and stereotypes ("The Entity"). But perhaps the most valuable lesson is: "Don't tick off Cartman," as witness his diabolical revenge against the unfortunate ninth grader who rips him off in "Scott Tenorman Must Die."

The genius of South Park is its uncanny ability to make satiric hay with such otherwise sure-fire comedy killers as aborted fetuses, concentration camps, and cancer (which becomes instantly funny when the words "up the a**" are added to it, and funnier still when spoken by actual members of Radiohead). 2001 was a rough year for America, and while this country's "problems" provide Stone and Parker with a fount of material (most of it objectionable), we can take odd comfort that they remain vigilant in rooting for their "team." --Donald Liebenson
