In the episode 'Chef Goes Nanners,' Cartman is left standing alone in the snow after Wendy blithely proclaims her improbable attraction for him to has suddenly vanished. Cartman heaves a heavy sigh, and exits Chaplinesque stage right. But any concerns that South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone had gone soft, or that Cartman would undergo a more sympathetic, Louie De Palma-like makeover are abated in nearly every other episode of South Park's pivotal fourth season. From the 'downright immature' trashing of Phil Collins (whose 'You'll Be in My Heart' from Tarzan had emerged victorious Oscar night over Parker and Stone's 'Blame Canada') to an episode in which Cartman becomes the unwitting poster child for NAMBLA, South Park gave its viewers much shock value for its basic cable dollar. This was the season that introduced the show's most unlikely breakout star, the wheelchair-bound Timmy, who, despite being only able to say his own name (or perhaps because of it), carried the pathos in his own holiday special, 'Helen Keller! The Musical.' This was the season in which Parker and Stone somehow were able to comment with Daily Show immediacy on the Elian Gonzales incident ('Quintuplets 2000') and the presidential election debacle ('Trapper Keeper') within days of the actual events. This was the season in which other 'statement shows' skewered the South Carolina confederate flag controversy ('Chef Goes Nanners') and hate-crime legislation ('Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000'). This was also the season in which the South Park kids graduated to the fourth grade, we got a harrowing look inside Cartman's brain ('Helen Keller!'), and estranged lovers Saddam Hussein and Satan were reunited (in a two-parter, no less!).
Episodes not appreciated in their time can now be seen with fresh eyes. 'Pip,' hosted by Malcolm McDowell, and featuring none of the South Park regulars, is a faithful abridgement of Charles Dickens's Great Expectations, monkey robots notwithstanding. As in the season 3 set, Parker and Stone provide brief, 'fun-size commentary' that address their censorship skirmishes with Comedy Central and illuminate the inspiration and backstory for each episode. To quote the pro-commercialism holiday episode, 'A Very Krappy Christmas,' 'If we all buy presents, everyone benefits.' For South Park fans, this boxed set is an excellent start. --Donald Liebenson

Rating:  - "Timmy! Live-a-lie Timmy..."
This is definetly one of the best seasons of South Park. Seasons 3, 5, and 10 are the only ones to rival for that position. From the introduction of TIMMY! to Cartman joining NAMBLA, this is one riotous adventure after another.
This season is really the first season to ever take real issues from the world and stick them in the world of South Park. In "Cartman Joins NAMBLA" (most definetly the best episode this season), Cartman feels he is too mature to hang out with his friends (with ... Read More
Rating: - Finally...adult comedy
Admit it, when you first saw South Park you fell on the floor laughing (if you didn't you had no pulse). Trey Parker and Matt Stone are geniuses. Putting 4 lovable characters (even Cartman) in a small town with adult situations is too funny. Ahh to be young again.
WARNING: even though this is a cartoon, THIS IS NOT FOR CHILDREN.
Rating: - South Park complete 4 season
What a great season it was. The boy band rules. Get a copy of this and add to your collection.
Rating: - The Season in which Kenny died
The mere fact that a movie or book is disturbing is neither good nor bad; in fact, if the only thing it has going for it is shock value, eventually the reader or viewer will get numb and go elsewhere for entertainment. The makers of South Park realize this; all the shocking material it presents would be valueless if it weren't also well-written, but it is, so South Park is worth watching.
As in the third season, the fourth season of South Park is not only funny, but creators Trey Parker ... Read More
Rating: - You have to Love South Park
I purchased season 1-4 and they were worth every cent spent. I could watch the same episode over and over and laugh my [...] off every time. I have to thank the creators of South Park for creating such funny characters and for making me laugh so much which is a hard thing to do. Every episode is priceless in its own way. I look forward to the new season, I cant imagine what more they can do but im sure the new episodes will have me rolling laughing. South Park is my all time favorite show because nobody ... Read More
