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

5. Pip: Pip goes back to England and remenisces about old times he had there.

13. Trapper Keeper: Cartman gets a Dawson's Creek Trapper Keeper that holds a secret to destruction.

14. Helen Keller- The Musical: The kids make a play on Helen Keller, starring Timmy, for Thanksgiving. (Gobbles!!!)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best seasons of South Park... December 30, 2005

By DonkeyKongFan91

Format:DVD

(Edited, 3rd December 2007)

This season of South Park should be sealed in a time capsule for future generations to enjoy. Here are my views on each episode:
401- The Tooth Fairy's Tats 2000 9/10 Introduction of Timmy is cool
402- Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000 9/10 One of the first South Parks I ever saw on Fathers Day, 2004.
403- Timmy! 2000 9/10 This is where my old username comes from!
404- Qunituplets 2000 8/10 Not as good as the other 2000s
405- Cartman Joins NAMBLA 15/10 This is by far the best of South Park Season 4
406- Cherokee Hair Tampons 10/10 Another episode I watched on Fathers Day 2004, pretty gross as well
407- Chef Goes Nanners 9/10 Another episode I watched on Fathers Day 2004, I like the flag designs
408- Something You Can Do With Your Finger 10/10 Great rip on boybands any year!
409- Do The Handicapped Go To Hell? 9/10 Satan, Saddam and Chris make an awesome love triangle
410- Probably 11/10 I made myself wait a really long week to see this! It was worth it.
411- Fourth Grade 10/10 Great introduction to the boys in 4th Grade.
412- Trapper Keeper 10/10 Also another great show, the world according to that episode would be falling apart by now!
413- Helen Keller, the Musical 9/10 A heartwarming Thanksgiving special
414- Great Expectations 7/10 Weakest from this season
415- Fat Camp 13/10 2nd best from this season
416- The Wacky Molestation Adventure 9/10 This was a cool episode, blaming the parents for molestation
417- A Very Crappy Christmas 10/10 My 2nd favourite Xmas episode- another episode I saw on Fathers Day 2004
My advice: Buy now before it's too late...
