Review(s): DVD South Park - The Complete Sixth Season
South Park.. a decade old and still full steam ahead.
First thing, WHO said "Jarred Has Aides" wasn't a great episode? In fact I believe it to be one of the FUNNIEST of its particular season. Although, this season which has some fantastic episodes the subsequent 2 seasons are EVEN stronger, but this is a great followup to season 5.. with only a few.. well no real flat out duds, there's always SOMETHING in there.. but it doesn't quite stack up to the seasons around it.
Still.. Free Hat, Red Hot Catholic Love, Jarred has Aidea, The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers were some of the FUNNIEST episodes of the series.. and are easily in the top 25, the show reached its 100th episode in the 8th season with "I'm a Little Bit Country".
South Park amazingly hits it right out of the park.. or just nose dives, but even the nosedives can be.. just, that you're not really into that particular aspect.. for example the 8th season, "Good Times with Weapons" really works better I think.. on someone more into the anime style that the episode mocks, whereas the episode Asspen from this season, much like the baseball episode of season 9, mocks 80s movies. The Asspen episode I LOVE in particular that it mocks, to me anyway, the John Cusack flick Better Off Dead (watch it and TELL me they weren't having a bit of fun with it). Much with the baseball episode, from Stan trying to lose the baseball games to the rockin sound of "You're the Best" (from the Karate Kid) to Randy training Rocky III style.. At its best.. the episode is a smart social satire. and at its worst, sometimes it doesn't appeal to everyone at once.. cause not EVERYONE gets the joke.. but, the show always comes back.. that's part of the magic.. and this season definitely has it.
THERE IS NO BETTER SEASON
As a HUGE south park fan I feel that out of all the seasons there is none which can compare to this one, every episode is brilliant, buy it now!

Asspen: (5/5)The jokes and storyline are hilarious!
Freak Strike: (3.5/5) Funny, but not one of my favorites.
Fun With Veal: (3.5/5) Again, funny, but not one of my favorites.
The Terrance and Phillip Movie Trailer: (4/5) South Park's first and only real-time episode!
Professor Chaos: (4/5) Get introduced to Professor Chaos, Butter's alter ego!
The Simpsons Already Did It: (5/5) One my top three favorites of this season.
Red Hot Catholic Love: (4.5/5) Great episode!
Free Hat: (5/5) One of my top three favorites! Hilarious and SO true!

The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers: (4.5/5) Funny! Lot's of LOTR references, as you can tell by the title.
The Death Camp of Tolerance: (4.5/5) Very good animation on this episode.

Is this the best South Park season out there? No, in all honesty, Season 7 is much better. But is it worth a buy for all the hilarious jokes and parodies? Definitely!

There is nothing in South Park's seventh season to offend Tom Cruise (nothing about Scientology, at any rate; that will come in season 9). However, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Rob Reiner, the Queer Eye guys, Christopher Reeve (!), war supporters and anti-war protesters, and Mormons, do not get off so easy. But, "Who cares?" as the townspeople sing in "I'm a Little Bit Country." What matters is that with this particular episode, South Park attained the precious, syndication-ready 100-episode mark! Another milestone: "Raisins," in which Wendy breaks up with Stan, who falls under the influence of the "Goth kids" ("If you want to be one of the non-comformists, all you have to do is dress just like us and listen to the same music we do").

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...

To quote Bad Day at Black Rock, a man is as big as what'll make him mad. By this criteria, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are giants. Fanaticism of any stripe, steroids, vapid pop culture icons marketed as role models for impressionable youth, and mass merchants encroaching on small town life are just some of the hot button issues tackled in South Park's eighth season. Of course, South Park is not above (or beneath) stooping to conquer, as witness "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset," which climaxes in a "whore-off" featuring--you guessed it--Paris Hilton. Sure, Paris is an easy target, as is Michael Jackson (portrayed in the episode "The Jeffersons" not as a child molester, but as an infantile parent who needs to grow up). But just as a segment...

I really love South Park, but that's not the only reason I bought this set instead of buying them seperately. It really is cheap(the price I mean) and South Park is a great way to spend a rainy Saturday. Most of the people reviewing this show who bash it like Family Guy... Coincedence or rivalry? (If you ask me, Family Guy isn't humor, it's pop culture references with stupidity mixed in, but who's asking me?) I love this set. 5 out of 5 stars.

In the episode "Chef Goes Nanners," Cartman is left standing alone in the snow after Wendy blithely proclaims her improbable attraction for him to has suddenly vanished. Cartman heaves a heavy sigh, and exits Chaplinesque stage right. But any concerns that South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone had gone soft, or that Cartman would undergo a more sympathetic, Louie De Palma-like makeover are abated in nearly every other episode of South Park's pivotal fourth season. From the "downright immature" trashing of Phil Collins (whose "You'll Be in My Heart" from Tarzan had emerged victorious Oscar night over Parker and Stone's "Blame Canada") to an episode in which Cartman becomes the unwitting poster child for NAMBLA, South Park gave its viewers much shock...
