Guide Review - South Park - The Complete Seventh Season DVD

A lot of shows on television have lasted seven seasons. Hey, even Melrose Place made it to the lucky number. So it should come as no suprise that Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators, have gotten this far.

Despite taking time to to produce box office features like Canibal the Musical and Baseketball, the twosome delivered 15 episodes of steaming piles of cut-up paper shapes; except nowadays they use computers.

Highlights of season seven include the hilarious episode "Fat Butt and Pancake Head," where Cartman's hand replaces the real J-Lo as the newest Latino fad. Just watch out for Ben Affleck's very public displays of affection.

Join Timmy and Jimmy in "Krazy Kripples" as the boys are mistakenly initiated into the Krips gang and start a gang war.

Later in the season we have the episode "Casa Bonita," with Eric locking Butters in a bomb shelter in hopes of getting invited to Kyle's birthday part at the greatest Mexican birthday celebration resturant, Casa Bonita.

The standout episode has to be "Raisins." This potshot at Hooters was dead on. (The fact that I was laughing hystericlly at pre-adolescent breasts means it's not a matter of whether or not I'm going to hell, it's a matter of how hot it's going to be.)

The commentaries were nice, although there could have been more. Am I wrong 'cause I want cool extra stuff? Fans will want the South Park Season Seven DVD for their collection. However, the recreational viewer may think about buying other seasons instead.
