"What would a priest want to put in our butts?", Sep 3 2004
This review is from: South Park: Passion of the Jew (DVD)
Ok, the other reviews do have a point. All of these episodes will later be released in the sets for their respective seasons, and with Paramount announcing Season 5's release for as early as November, you may be owning them sooner than some of the estimates given. Still, we have to keep in mind that the title episode for this set is less than 6 months old, so you pay a little bit extra for the priveledge of owning it so early. Hell, they haven't even finished its season yet. That is what makes this DVD a good buy. That, and the fact that you can say, f*ck Gibson, I'm buying the South Park one instead. yes, $5 an episode is more than it costs in the season sets, but in the end, its worth it to own these great episodes so much earler. They're all hilarious, with my personal favorite being Red Hot Catholic Love, so give this set a shot, as long as you're considering buying it BEFORE the seasons are released. If you're reading this in 2006, don't bother, and grab the seasons instead. If you're reading in 2004, BUY THE F*CKIN THING!

At Least One Truly Great Episode, July 19 2004
This review is from: South Park: Passion of the Jew (DVD)
Though Trey and Matt get their seasons out on DVD much quicker than certain other long-running animated series (mainly because those other series go for full-length commentaries), these 3 to 4 episode packs are kind of a waste. Red Hot Catholic Love is one of the best all-time episodes in my not-so-humble opinion, and the other episodes are pretty good, but I wouldn't buy a DVD for them. I'll most likely just wait until next June for season 6 to come out (the season featuring Red Hot Catholic Love). As long as they're releasing random episodes on DVD, Jared Has Aides would make a great candidate. I think the episode has only been shown once since its premiere, and I believe that was during this weekend's 25 most notorious episodes countdown. On top of all this, South Park DVDs are always lacking in special features. (How did the original pilot episode and the two versions of The Spirit of Christmas never end up on a DVD? Not to mention cut scenes.) Sometimes a full-length commentary would be nice because there are all kinds of jokes and references in the episodes that I'm sure a bunch of people just don't get. So, in summation, I wouldn't buy this DVD because not only do I have these episodes recorded to VHS for my personal viewing pleasure, but I'm willing to wait for the release of the season box sets: Red Hot Catholic Love - Season 6 - June 2005 Christian Rock Hard - Season 7 - December 2005 The Passion of the Jew - Season 8 - June 2006

Good to see more South Park but..., Jun 16 2004
This review is from: South Park: Passion of the Jew (DVD)
I think it's good to get more south park, but to be quite honest these compilation packs sometimes piss me off. I'd rather wait for a full season then to buy a smidgen of episodes for an outlandish price. However, I do have to say it would be nice to have these religious episodes far before their appropiate seasons are released. Since the episodes are so funny I'll give it four stars, the missing fifth star is do to corporate greed to make an extra buck on episodes we South Park fans will be buying within a year or so
