SOUTH PARK: COMPLETE NINETEENTH SEASON - DVD - This stunning and brave 19th season of South Park follows a serialized model for the first time in the show's history. The season is built around an extended satire of political correctness beginning when a new socially conscious principal comes to town. In other episodes, Mr. Garrison makes a bid for the White House, Randy takes the lead in gentrifying the town, and everyone is looking for their safe space.

Not great...but not too bad.
Another decent season...but the episodes are going to have to improve a bit to reach the point of the earlier seasons. The drop to 10 episodes is still hurting the overall quality.

One of the series' highest points (and that's saying something)
The episodes: 5/5. I think season 19 is a perfect season, right up there with 8, 11, and 14 for me as far as best seasons go. The continuous plot (more-so even than season 18) is fresh and makes for some great moments.The features: 4/5. This is both better and worse than usually. The "Social Commentary" feature is awesome. It is like the Seinfeld trivia feature or Pop-up Brady from Nick at Night. It just shows trivia at the bottom of the screen throughout the episodes. The E3 thing for The Fractured But Whole is also really cool. The most unfortunate thing, though, is that we have finally seen the end for my beloved commentary minis. Instead, we get a "season commentary" by Matt and Trey where, in 25 minutes or so, they go through the whole season. It is great, but I've always loved throwing the minis on and re-watching the seasons that way. RIP.The packaging: 3/5. I understand no one really cares about this aspect, but they have done red too many times at this point. Sure, there are only so many colors and the first dozen or so knocked most of them out, but I feel like this is the 6th or 7th red one and that drives me nuts. Hopefully you don't care.Audio/video: 5/5. Looks and sounds great for me. I'm not an expert though, so if this is a really important thing to you (like you're a home theater person), then I'd check a dedicated blu-ray review site for a proper take on the AV quality.

Come on down to South Park
Great price on these DVD's. I have loved this show from the start. "I've got to buy them all." Good quality, low price, what else is there to say. If you love South Park and want it sitting on your shelf, it's a great deal.

I read somewhere that this was the best season in a long time
I have been eighths South Park fan since beginning. I own all of the seasons so this purchase was inevitable. However, I read somewhere that this was the best season in a long time. I don't exactly agree with that statement. This season and last season and there have been less episodes I believe this time there was two desks and last season I think only three. South Park is classic in itself however in my opinion the first nine seasons are about as good as you can get. The new season of course takes on any of the newer political/media issues as in the past. It is still good I just do not believe that it is worth five stars.

Sister loves this
I got this for my sister for Christmas a while ago and she loves it. We're both a big fan of this show, so it's nice to be able to watch anytime at home. The show is on Hulu but we like to own movies and shows that we really like.

Genius!!
This is THE best season of South Park. With a few episode exceptions, I had such a good time watching this season. It was witty, well crafted, and hilarious! It's pure comic GOLD! I couldn't wait to get the DVD. Now I can watch it over and over, anytime I want, and share it with friends who have not seen it yet. Matt and Trey really outdid themselves on this season. LOVE IT! Whenever I get a pop up ad, I always say out loud, dammit Leslie!

Not too bad if you go in knowing its not old South Park
This isnt too bad if you go in with the knowledge that the episodic adventures of the boys in South Park basically ended in season 17 and that seasons 18-20 are this kind of bizarre serialized era where nothing really gets resolved the way it used to, hell it doesnt really get resolved at all but its got its moments. Definitely not as good as old South Park though.

The Principal of PC
A two disc dvd box set containing all ten episodes of the nineteenth season of cult cartoon South Park. All episodes run twenty one minutes [approx].Season opener, 'Stunning and Brave' sets the scene for a season that is a little different to usual. Principal Victoria is gone. And replaced by PC Principal. Aggressive frat boy and fierce believer in political correctness. Woe bedite anyone who disrepects minorites around him. He can't believe this town that he is in, which is seemingly a relic of days gone by. And is determined to modernise thinking and attitudes there. Some begin to fall under his spell..This isn't the greatest of season openers. It's one of those episodes that is more clever than funny and will make you laugh occasionally, but smile more at how clever it is. So it's not a promising start. But it does begin a new direction for the show. It's not standalone anymore. They now experiment with serialisation, as most tv now does.Any doubts about season quality vanish with episode two 'where my country gone?' As the town takes in immigrants from Canada, Mr Garrison won't stand for what he sees to be infringing on his country. And thus begins a campaign that could go all the way.This is an hysterically funny episode, doing the Donald Trump thing [It was originally broadcast autumn 2015] a little differently to how people might have expected them to, and getting some very good satire in at the same time.Episode three 'the city part of town' continues the theme of modernising, as the town does up one area to become a cool new regenerated neighbourhood. And too bad for the Mccormicks who still live there. A fun episode with some fun fake commericals, which also shows South Park's strength for characterisation by allowing one character in particular a truly brilliant scene near the end that you won't forget in a hurry.Episode four 'you're not yelping' sees the restaurants of the town not wanting to displease the self important internet reviewers. Something ends up having to give. In typical south park style it all escalates in a clever and fun manner, and has some good things to say about certain attitudes.Episode five 'safe space' deals with shaming, as Butters ends up having to help celebrities and Cartman not have to face online abuse, and Randy is made to regret not giving to charity. Another that escalates well and in a fun way, and has a few good points to make once again.Episode six 'tweek x craig' sees more modernisation thanks to an art style called Yaoi [which you might not have heard of before but won't forget post this] make the town think it has a gay couple. Which comes as news to the two students in question. Meantime Cartman has to fend off some unwanted advances. The former is solid and fun character stuff with a look at attitudes, the latter very good over the top comedy.Episode seven 'naughty ninjas' looks at police shootings as officer Barbrady pays the price for modern attitudes to what the force does, and the kids trying to protect Kenny's neighbourhood leads to a big misunderstanding. The former ends up being, like episode three, something with a great amount of heart. The latter is a fun bit of humour with a great subplot for Cartman.And at this points the serialisation kicks in big time...Episode eight 'Sponsored content' sees Jimmy and Pc Principal clash over the school paper. Funny and with some clever things to say about people's principals versus reality, this is the start of a three parter.Episode nine 'truth and advertising' continues from the above as all plotlines come together and progress. It has a lot of fun moments but is perhaps too much of a middle episode.Although it all rallies superbly with episode ten 'Pc Principal final justice' which does bring everything together and wrap plotlines up, put a few things into good focus, and have a fun theme for the week as well that has some very good and funny moments.The ending does imply that serialisation and the modern world are here to stay with the series. Which works because this is a good season that tries something different and manages to succeed with it. So South Park keeps going strong.The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English, German.Subtitles: English, Dutch, German.Extras are on disc one:Five minutes worth of deleted scenes, from episodes across the season. These can only be watched all in a row. One is slightly unfinished. But they're all pretty good and worth a look, especially the last one which does explain a slight plot hole.Trailer for new video game 'South Park; the fractured but whole.' Which runs for three minutes and is a fun watch.Also, instead of the usual mini commentaries on each episode, you get a whole season commentary. Which runs for twenty five minutes and is a fascinating listen, especially in what it tells you about the writing process.
