[Jack_F]

Any word yet if these will be censored or uncensored?

It would be great if they were uncensored...

[Jeff Kleist]

South Park is already uncensored, the bleeps are there on purpose because it's funnier

 

[Jack_F]

oh.

 

[Mark-W]

I want to know a couple of things, which others mentioned
way back on page one:
Will the Season 1 set contain The Spirit of Christmas?
If not, anyone know where I can download it?
Thanks!
Mark

I don't have a link, but I read an interview awhile back that basically said these sets will never contain those early shows (sprit, jesus vs frosty, jesus vs santa).....probably mostly because of rights or something...

It's good that WB is finally releasing season sets, but a bit sad that it'll be the same set of episodes that we've had on DVD r1 for years. I've watched my volumes 1-6 episodes extensively before selling them, and am wanting fresh stories. I haven't bothered to catch the episodes airing on TV, because I'm usually doing something else on Friday nights, and hate setting my VCR.

SWEEEET! Not hellasucks. But ...
DVD Planet has listed the first season set for awhile, with the specs.

No Spirit of Christmas, but the set will contain Cartman's rendition of "Oh Holy Night."
BEEFCAKE!

We just got word about South Park: The First Season and the commentary tracks that were previously announced. Looks like, from what we're being told, that the commentaries are on a separate CD that is not included with the DVD set and is only available through Comedy Central.

Take that for what you will. Obviously review copies have gone out, so we should get confirmation soon when reviews start going up at various web sites. Also, according to the same person in a post later in the thread, the Matt & Trey episode intros that were on the original DVDs, and announced for this set, are not on the set. As soon as I get a confirmation on this stuff being true, my pre-order is canceled. The commentaries were what enticed me to get this set. Now I have no reason to.

Were those 'Intros' on all 8 volumes or just the first 6?

 

[Vince Maskeeper]

There were only 6 volumes. All included intros.

Vol 7 The Chef Experience

Vol 8 Christmas in South Park
http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_ite...&item_id=17677
They don't say 'volume 7' or '8' on the packaging but are listed that way. Damn confusing. Do those have Intros or not? Anyone know?
A lot of people didn't buy these, including myself, since some episodes were repeated on other volumes.

 

[Eugene Esterly]

I am going to pick up this collection. I no longer watch South Park but I love the first several seasons. I will pick up the first season of South Park (IMO, this are & still are the best episodes)

 

[Adam_WM]

Do we have any follow-up info about the commentary fiasco?

 

[Vince Maskeeper]

Mark,

Sorry, I never considered themed sets "Volumes" from the collection. In addition, if you start counting the theme collection like Chef- there are several more (Ghouls, Ghosts and Underpants Gnomes, Insults to Injuries, Timmy, Winter Wonderland)

So if you want to start counting theme sets, there were 12 volumes, although only the first 6 were numbered and these were the only ones I considered part of the VOLUME sets.

3-Disc Box Set; Irreverent Audio Commentary For All Thirteen Episodes From "South Park" Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone; 2 Christmas Music Videos That Haven't Been Unwrapped Since Their Original Airing In 1997: Cartman - "O Holy Night" & Ned - "O Little Town of Bethlehem"; Jay Leno's South Park Guest Appearance As Formerly Seen Only On "The Tonight Show"; Priceless On-Camera Intros To All Thirteen Episodes From Parker and Stone; TV Special: The original on-air promos for the show's debut - relive the insanity that made South Park an instant hit

and they're normally pretty good with updating specification changes.



I suspect that Comedy Central may be packing a unique, exclusive CD with the set, but I doubt it is the commentaries.

[*] Of course they could be using MP3's, but that would limit the their use even more...

 

[Craig_T]

This thing is coming out a little over 2 weeks from now. I can't believe that someone hasn't gotten a hold of an early/review copy yet...

 

[Brian W.]

Unless, of course, this is a joke. It IS Comedy Central, after all.

And, no, The Chef Experience and Christmas in South Park don't have introductions. I own them.

 

[RaulR]

Whoever heard of a commentary track on a separate CD? Someone is either joking or totally misinterpreting a rumor.

The only way this could be true is if they're not screen-specific commentaries but mere sound bytes of the show's creators discussing each episode in turn. And if it really is just *one* CD, that averages out to a maximum of about 6 minutes of commentary for each episode.

 

[Haden]

If this is true, then I'm really pissed. I dont want to have to order an exclusive CD of commentaries seperately through Comedy Central. No doubt they'd charge quite a bit for it too, plus shipping. It's almost like buying another DVD.

However, I'd gladly do this for several Criterion laserdisc commentaries that we'll never get on DVD. Criterion is missing a great opportunity there.

AHHH! Don't give them any ideas!!!
