Premiering in the late summer of 1997, South Park took American pop culture
by storm with its no-holds-barred examination of social and political issues and
its lewd yet unique brand of cartoon humor. Created by Trey Parker and Matt
Stone, South Park is the lynchpin of cable network Comedy Centrals original
programming lineup. Centered around the lives of several kids in the small
Colorado town of South Park (a place prone to odd and paranormal occurrences),
the series presents itself in the form of crude animated drawings, yet the
concept works, playing home to innumerable well-written shows filled with
boundless wit, well-timed one-liners, and an endless array of
politically-incorrect humor. Love it or hate it, South Park is a truly original
animated series with relentlessly off-the-wall plot twists and comic relief. If
you love oddball humor, then this is the show for you…
South Park mostly follows the exploits of four elementary school kids -
Cartman (whos overweight and sarcastic), Kyle (who dreams of eliminating his
little brother Ike), Stan (who throws up at the sight of a girl he likes), and
Kenny (who manages to get killed in every episode). All four attend South Park
Elementary School where third grade teacher Mr. Garrison educates them with the
use of a hand-puppet named "Mr. Hat" and cafeteria employee "Chef" McElroy
(Isaac Hayes) dispenses his advice while periodically breaking into 70s love
songs about making love to women. South Park is the setting for numerous
oddities such as alien visitors, a monster with a hand of celery and the leg of
Patrick Duffy, and Big Gay Als Big Gay Boat Ride. South Park also hosts a
number famous people from time to time, such as the Devil, Saddam Hussein, the
Antichrist, Kathy Lee Gifford, Scott Baio, Tina Yothers, Elton John, and Jesus
Christ - who has his own cable access show…
The South Park (Season 3) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes
including the season premiere "Rainforest Schmainforest" in which the boys are
forced to join the "Getting Gay with Kids" choir as punishment for their bad
classroom behavior. When the choir takes an adventurous tour of the rain forest
in which they almost get eaten by snakes, shot by rebel guerrillas, sacrificed
by native cannibals, and sunk in quick sand, they decide the rainforest sucks…
Other notable episodes from Season 3 include "Spontaneous Combustion" in which
the townsfolk of South Park start spontaneously combusting because they are
holding in their farts. When they start farting, the massive release facilitates
the greater problem of global warming… And "Sexual Harassment Panda" in which
Kyles dad goes on a litigious rampage in the aftermath of the boys public
service message courtesy of the Sexual Harassment Panda (who then agrees to
become Petey "The Dont Sue People" Panda)…
