When is South Park Season 5 coming? (1 Viewer)

Subject says it all.... any news on this? On my personal release date list I had this week marked for the release of the set, but I guess that rumor didn't pan out. Any official announcement?

Oops... asked too soon. Digital Bits just posted a 3/1 release date.

Hey, Shabby! I didn't know you posted here.

Yup!

I think the holdup for this has been that Trey and Matt have been so preoccupied with Team America (and also doing the last half of season 8 once they were done with that) that the "Commentary Minis" for season 5 were put on the backburner. I honestly wonder if, knowing Paramount, we'll see not just season 5, but also season 6 (in summer) and 7 (around Christmastime), like how the structure usually is. The commentary-mini's probably don't take very long to record, just that Parker and Stone have been so busy with Team America (which is rumoured to come out 3/29) and new SP episodes that they put it off a bit.
