South Park Volumes 1-3 Reviews
Fresh, foul, fartastic humor
These three volumes of South Park are structurally identical to all six volumes that have been released so far, and suffer from the same shortcomings. One glaring flaw is that none of the episodes are sub-titled, so if you are hearing impaired, you're out of luck.
I don't find these episodes as funny as the first time I watched them. A lot of the humor of South Park is in shock value, and that has worn off. But even so, I find them funny enough to be worth watching every now and then. If you are a hard core fan, I recommend all three volumes on DVD. If you are just a casual fan, your money would be better spent elsewhere.
There are no extras on any of these DVDs worth mentioning. What's worse, there are no extras of any kind included with the 3-pack. You just get the three DVDs with a strip of paper holding them together. So be careful to check the individual prices of these DVDs before buying the 3-pack; it might make more sense to buy them separately.
The primary advantage of the DVDs over the VHS versions is random access to the episodes. You also get Matt and Trey introducing the episodes, which is fairly amusing. However, the lack of substantive extras is very disappointing. Also, the menus are static and silent; the power of the DVD medium has been completely ignored. This is why I only give this set 3 stars.
Some have complained that you can't skip the introductions, but I have no problem fast forwarding through them with my DVD player. Many have also complained about the three worthless items appearing at the end of each episode (the Braniff logo, Comedy Central logo, and FBI warnings). But simply pressing the "menu" button on your DVD's remote is all that is required to skip these items. I don't like this rubbish either, but the people who whine on incessantly about this are making a mountain out of a molehill.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

Great comic episode of South Park Vol 1 to 3.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone could be the two most crazy guys in america. Before their classic comics films like-Orgazmo, Baseketball and their show turn into a film-South Park:Bigger, Longer and Uncut. The show, they created South Park is one of the memorable show in the ninties. The 3-Pack DVD`s have 12 episode, which are:Cartman gets an anal prode, Volcano, Weight gain 2000, Big gay al`s gay boat ride, An elephant makes love to a pig, Death, Pinkeye, Damien, Starvin` marvin, Mecha-streisand, Mr.hankey, the christmas poo and Tom`s rhinoplasty.
My favorite are Cartman gets an anal prode, Weight gain 2000, Pinkeye, Damien, Starvin`s marvin and Tom`s rhinoplasty are the best between these 3 DVD`s. DVD`s picture quality is excellent for an animation and the sound quality is well done for DD 2.0 Surround. But this DVD`s has no subtitles but the introduction by Parker and Stone is very funny indeed. SP fans will enjoy more than anyone else, a must buy.
