South Park: Season 01 (1997)

The first season of South Park wastes no time in serving up the sort of outrageous, in-your-face comedy that its fans craaaaave. Join nervous Stan, neurotic Kyle, obnoxious Cartman, and "Oh My God They Killed" Kenny in their first 13 cartoon adventures. Episodes include "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" (is he controlled by aliens, or a herd of cattle?); "Volcano" (a disastrous hunting trip and the search for "Skuzzle-Butt"); "Weight Gain 4000" (Cartman's award ceremony is interrupted by Mr. Garrison's efforts to assassinate Kathie Lee Gifford); "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" ("starring" the voice of George Clooney; also, what's up with -- or in -- Stan's new dog?); "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig" (cloning run amok); "Death" (Stan's 102-year-old grandpa wants to be euthanized, plus the first appearances of those flatulent Canadians Terrance and Phillip); "Pink Eye" (zombies, space stations, Edward James Olmos, and Jackie Collins); "Starvin' Marvin" (what does Sally Struthers really do with all that charity money?); "Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo" (with the touching Yuletide ballad "The Lonely Jew on Christmas"); "Damien" (the Son of Satan demands a showdown with Jesus -- and everyone's placing bets); "Tom's Rhinoplasty" (can the boys become lesbians like their gorgeous substitute teacher?); "Mecha-Streisand" (a Godzilla-like Babs smashes South Park like Tokyo); and "Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty Slut" (who is Cartman's real dad?). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
