Title: Slim package of uneven, but clever, first season
Review: The first season of "South Park" cemented the show's reputation as the most gleefully subversive TV program, animated or otherwise, since "The Simpsons". The first few episodes are crude, often thin affairs with sparse laughs, but the ball quickly gets rolling with "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" and "Death", the series' first classic. "Mr. Hanky, The Christmas Poo" is a dead-on indictment of society's obsession with political correctness, and its message hasn't dulled a bit (nor has its belly laughs). The extras are few, but Cartman's "Oh Holy Night" music video is a riot, as is "Thanksgiving With Jay Leno". This DVD collection is perfect for the hardcore "South Park" fanatics, as well as anyone who wants to catch up with one of the most outrageous (and outrageously funny) shows in television history.
