Summary: South Park just keeps gettin' wronger and wronger...
Review: Good God... just when I thought 'South Park' couldn't get any wronger-- or more horrifically hilarious-- they throw this collection of eppies at me. I tell ya, you can't get much more wrong than Cartman tryin' to find 'the brown noise' and Garrison's twisted relationship with his dad in the season-ending 'World Wide Recorder Concert'. Or our fearsome foursome "Getting Gay With Kids" in the season premiere, 'Rainforest Shmainforest'. Then there's all the shenanigans involved in such shows as 'Jakovasaurs', the SP creators' unbelievably annoying 'tribute' to Star Wars Episode I star Jar-Jar Binks. Then there's the 'Meteor Shower Trilogy' ('Cat Orgy', 'Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub', and 'Jewbilee') that has our four heroes separated for one magic night and off on their own misadventure... except for Kenny, who hooks up with Kyle in 'Jewbilee'. This 'trilogy' is kinda reminiscent of the classic Star Wars trifecta in one sense: just like the middle movie 'The Empire Strikes Back' is considered the best of the three Star Wars flicks, in my opinion the middle episode ('Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub') of this three-parter is the funniest.

And what would 'South Park' be without a few obligatory subversive Holiday shows? There's 'Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery'... or is it 'Korn's Groovy GHOST PIRATE Mystery'? Anyhoo, this left-handed salute to the classic 'Scooby-Doo' cartoon features the band Korn helping end the threat of the pirate ghosts (or 'ghost pirates', depending on who ya ask) plaguing South Park on Halloween night. Then there's 'Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics', which is a half-hour-long collection of Christmas music videos based on the holiday album. I didn't care too much for this particular show, but it did have its moments. Rounding off the holiday theme is Jesus Christ setting up an amazing New Year's bash in Las Vegas to celebrate the coming of the millenium, featuring a wheelchair-bound geriatric Rod Stewart, and the main man himself: God! Also thrown in for good measure are Trey & Matt's shots at Civil War re-enactors ('The Red Badge of Gayness'), Chef falling under the spell of a demoness from Hell ('The Succubus'), and the return of everybody's favorite Ethiopian ('Starvin' Marvin in Space!').

But out of all the eppies included in this collection, the most notable (at least for me) is the infamous 'ChinPokomon', which cuts down to size the most horrific fad in recent memory. The crass commercialism, selfishness, and even the seizure-inducing properties of the unbelievable pop-culture trend known as 'Pokemon' gets its just desserts! BTW I was working the secondary market toys & collectibles scene at the height of this mania, so I had a front-row seat to the 'crass commercialism' and 'selfishness' aspects of the deal. I loved the Japanese ChinPokomon execs' strategy of buttering up the American male ego by praising their-- um, prowess 'down south', if you catch my drift-- to divert parents' concerns about what the craze is doing to their kids. Those shrewd and efficient business tacticians from the Land of the Rising Sun knew exactly where to hit us!

Extra features in this collection include a secondary mini-commentary track featuring show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. In each eppie's first three to five minutes they give a brief yet reasonably detailed account of their memories, motivations and inspirations for making the particular eppie being viewed. While I found much of what they said amusing, the truly funny thing about these mini-commentaries was that Paramount (the DVD set's distributors) apparently were so scared by some of these statements, they put in a disclaimer at the start of each platter stating that "the views of the creators do not necessarily reflect those of the company"! 'Course, this ain't quite as weird as whole deal with the Season One commentary tracks, which were pressed on separate CDs and sold as an exclusive companion piece to the box on Comedy Central's website after Warner Bros. (the previous distributors of the SP DVD sets) balked at including 'em on the video discs...

Summary: Excellent!
Review: Season 3 (like season 1 & 2) are well worth the money. The only episode I didn't care for was "Korn's Groovy Pirate Mystery". But it doesn't really matter because episodes like "World Wide Recorder Concert", "Sexual Harassment Panda" and (my personal season 3 favorite) "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics".

P.S. It was just announced "South Park Season 4" should be released in JUNE 2004!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Keep 'em Coming!
Review: I love having South Park in my DVD collection! I have the other two as well and it just keeps getting better and better! My favorite is a tie between Cat orgy and Chinpokomon... I just love the idea of mixing adult humor with animation! Can't wait to get more

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Keeps getting better and better
Review: Simultaneously produced with the brilliant South Park feature film, the third season of South Park was when it was proof that the wildly irreverant show was here to stay. Containing some of the series' most brilliant and hilarious episodes (including "The Succubus", "Tweek VS Craig", "Starvin' Marvin in Space", and "Hooked on Monkey Phonics"), season 3 was comedic gold from it's premiere on. The three episode "Meteor Shower Party" trilogy (all three episodes take place on the same night) is the highlight here: the first episode ("Cat Orgy") focuses on Cartman trying to survive being babysat by Stan's sister Shelly, the second episode ("Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub") finds Stan stuck in Mr. Mackey's basement while the drunken adults party upstairs, and the third episode ("Jewbilee") finds Kyle and Kenny saving existence at a Jewish Scout meeting. The band Korn also stops by in an episode spoofing the old Scooby-Doo cartoon, and Jennifer Aniston lends her voice in the season premiere. This third season box set finally includes a commentary by creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, which is itself a reason to own this set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: South Park - The Complete Third Season
Review: The third season of South Park is funnier than ever. This is a review of season three's episodes and NOT on the DVD box set that has not yet been released.

The season gets 5 Stars over all rating.

Rainforest Shmainforest 5 Stars - This is part one of an unofficial two parter. Gust voice Jennifer Aniston. The boys get sent to Costa Rica (Someone that rated this said Puerto Rico, not a true fan if he can't even get the location right, I'm sure he'll revise his review when he reads this) by Mr. Mackey to sing in the kids choir "Getting Gay with Kids". The group gets lost in the Rainforest when a reptile eats their guide. Cartman saves the day.

Spontaneous Combustion 5 Stars - This is part two of an unofficial two parter. The mayor wants Stan's dad to figure out why the citizens of South Park are spontaneously combusting and Stan and Kyle Crucify Cartman so that he can be resurrected. In hopes that Kyle's dad can get an erection.

The Succubus 4 Stars - The boys become worried when chef falls in love with a demon sent from hell in the shape of a woman. Cartman has all kinds of eye problems.

Tweek vs. Craig 5 Stars - The boys bet on who would win in a fight between Tweek and Craig and then instigate the fight.

Jackovasaurs 4 Stars - The kids discover an ancient race of creatures. However, they are the most annoying creatures ever to exist. Cartman get "Authority"

Sexual Harassment Panda 4 Stars - A man in a panda suit comes to South Park to teach kids about sexual harassment after the town realizes there is a sexual harassment problem in the community.

Cat Orgy 5 Stars - This is part one of an unofficial three parter. Ms. Cartman goes to a Meteor Shower Party at Mr. Mackey's house. Cartman and Shelly fight with each other while she is baby-sitting him and Shelly's twenty something year old boyfriend Skyler comes over.

Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub 5 Stars - This is part two of an unofficial three parter. Stan and Kyle's dad end up in a hot tub together naked and they do something in front of each other. Stan is stuck in Mr. Mackey's basement with Butters, Pip, and Dougie during the Meteor Shower Party. The FBI/ATF thinks it's a cult party and they try to break it up.

Jewbilee 5 Stars - This is part three of an unofficial three parter. Kyle and Kenny go to a Jewish scout camp. This is the same night as the Meteor Shower.

What makes this an unofficial three part series is that all three episodes are on the night of the Meteor Shower, all four boys are in one of the three episodes and the FBI/ATF is seen speeding to Mr. Mackey's house in all three episodes.

Chinpokomon 5 Stars - Some familiar looking Japanese toys brainwash every kid in America and convince the children to attack Pearl Harbor for Japanese honor.

Starvin Marvin in Space 5 Stars - The Boys help Starvin Marvin when some missionaries invade his country. A Star Wars spoof

Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery 4 Stars - The Band Korn help the boys solve a Halloween mystery in this hilarious Scooby-Doo spoof.

The Red Badge of Gayness 5 Stars - Cartman decides to conquer America and change the outcome of the Civil War to win a bet with Stan and Kyle.

Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics 5 Stars - a collection of South Park Christmas songs, hosted by none other than Mr. Hankey.

Are you there God? It's Me, Jesus 5 Stars - Jesus is upset that no one cares about him anymore. Cartman thinks he is having a period because he's bleeding out of his backside. He rubs it in to the other boys saying that he has hit puberty before them.

World Wide Recorder Concert 5 Stars - The boys come up with an outrageous plan to get revenge on some New York kids who made fun of them. The plan involves finding the brown note, a note that when played make you loose control of your BMs.

Not sure what if any Special Features will be included. I would love to see Parker/Stone Commentaries on at least a few episodes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: South Park - RESPECT MY AUTHORITY!
Review: Season Three of SOUTH PARK was funny funny funny despite (or maybe because) Matt and Trey were strung out from doing the movie and the show simultaneously. The season starts off strong with Jennifer Aniston as a touring choir director out to save the rainforest, and every episode afterwards is just as good! They skewer everything -- Pokemon, The Stations of the Cross, Sexual Harassment ... you name it!

One reviewer on down the line said they did not approve of the BAD LANGUAGE! What the hell!??! I was shocked to see the bleeps still in the show like they aired on COMEDY CENTRAL, but they sort of make it funny. The mini-commentaries (each episode gets 4 minutes!) are a scream! SOUTH PARK like the SIMPSONS has somehow kept up its bite and edge over the years, and SEASON THREE is no exception. All the stuff we love - Kenny still dies in every episode, Cartman still whines "Screw you guys I'm going home!" and "Repect my authority!", and several satirical songs come to life (I really liked the SEXUAL HARASSMENT PANDA song - turn the volume up and you can hear the lyrics!).

SOUTH PARK came of age in Season 3, and established itself as a trend and fad that would not fade.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Disgruntled parents should watch before judging.
Review: I'm only 14 and south park is by far my favorite program on tv. Many Parents insist that s. park is foul and dirty. I am sure many of these parents haven't even watched five min. of the show. When The show first came out. My parents thought it was vile. One night flipping through the channels we stopped on comedy central and found south park. We watched in utter disbelief and amusement as cartman dresses up like Hitler(worshipping Mel Gibson) and lectures about the Passion of The Christ. The content would surely be considered offensive by a large amount of people. Nothing is sacred. My faith was attacked and so was that of the jews and others. I realize that mayby I was supposed to be offended by the show yet I was not. The show doesn't sigle out jews and humiliate them, it singles out everyone and humilates everyone. I then understood that s. park wasn't offensive after all. I also understood one more thing why south park is such a fabulous show.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: South park
Review: South park is probably the best cartoon ever made, it is much better than simpsons or futurama although they are funny as well.
Anybody with a sense of humour should like it, my favourite character is timmy or cartman, i enjoy watching the commentary at the beginning of the episodes although unfortunately they didn't put any in the second season. I am 13, and i think this isn't too grown up for most people of my age, the swearing isn't that bad and people of my age with any sense will understand all of it.
