A lot can happen in the middle of nowhere. The tiny mountain town of South Park, Colorado has proven that beyond a doubt for the last eight seasons. Fortunately for fans of this Comedy Central pillar, series creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker obviously had no lack of ideas for their ninth season. Over the course of fourteen episodes, Mr. Garrison gets a sex change, Cartman thwarts a hippie music festival that threatens to destroy the town, the boys (Cartman, Kyle, Stan, and Kenny) start a talent agency, Kenny leads angelic forces in an epic battle against Satan's minions at the gates of heaven, and the boys become really bad at losing at baseball. And that's just the first half of the season. The most notable episode from this season is definitely the controversial "Trapped in the Closet," where Stan is "recognized" as the reincarnation of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, and a dejected Tom Cruise locks himself in Stan's closet. Naturally, over the course of the episode, TV reporters get to decry that "Tom Cruise still won't come out of the closet." It's funny enough on its own, but when John Travolta and R. Kelly end up in the closet as well (all singing together "Now I'm trapped in the closet. I'm trapped in the closet too"), that's worth the price of the set on its own.
After nine seasons it's also nice to see that one of the series key running gags, the perpetual cluelessness of the adults, still isn't getting old. It's as if the adult townspeople only know how to behave based on movies they've seen (this season's cinematic targets include Rocky (in "The Losing Edge"), The Day After Tomorrow ("Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow"), and Pet Cemetery ("Marjorine"), and their inevitably clichéd over-reactions still provide many of the show's best moments. The commentaries from Parker and Stone are once again typically short; they usually last only a few minutes into each show before they end it with "Ok, onto the next show now" not even trying to conceal that they really want to get through the recording session as quickly as possible. That might seem lame on other shows, but on South Park--a show where 8-year-olds send a talking killer whale to the moon through the Mexican Space Agency for $200,--somehow it's totally fitting. --Daniel Vancini

- Another reliable season of South Park
If you are fans of South Park and, for that matter, the works of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, then you will not be disappointed with SP season 9.For the most part, all of these episodes were made on the fly and could keep up with current events as they unfolded in the world around us.While there is a bit of soap boxing going on about things that get people fired up in SP season 9, there is also the good old fascioned vulgar and disgusting stuff that makes me laugh every time I watch it.Overall ...

Rating: - SOUTH PARK!
Of course its awesome Its South Park. A group of foul mouth 4th graders that are bombarded with some of the most rediculous and offensive shinanagins imaginable.
Rating: - A controversial, yet great season.
South Park has always been known for it's topical humour, and due to the fact that it only takes about 7 days to put an episode together. They made one of the most topical seasons ever.
Episode 1: Mr Garrison's Fancy New Vagina: Mr Garrison decides that he no longer can live as a man. He decides he wants to surprise his boyfriend Mr. Slave and get a sex change operation. The change isn't received as planned and Mr. Slave leaves the now, Mrs. Garrison. With the kids, Kyle decides that in ... Read More
Rating: - MarjorineRocks
"South Park" is one of the most clever series programs in the entire history of American television. Because Trey & Matt (the creaters, cartoonists, writers, voices & just about everything else) have a percise acuteness to satire and comedy. Each season it only gets better. This series has never "jumped the shark" because "South Park" is the type of series that doesn't take themselves too serious and doesn't try to be anything they're not.
Season Nine (includes a total of fourteen eps) ... Read More
