These kids are alright, June 5, 2007
The landmark season of South Park saw Matt Stone and Trey Parker's animated series back on top thanks to some scathing, satirical moments and just plain animated lunacy. It also saw the departure of Isaac Hayes, the voice of Chef, who departed after the previous season's lampooning of scientology and Tom Cruise. His departure is spoofed in the opening "Return of Chef" which uses archive sounds of Hayes' voice as Chef returns to South Park brainwashed by the Super Adventure Club, and seeling to "re-connect" with children. Things only get better as Kyle's dad buys a hybrid car in "Smug Alert!", Al Gore seeks attention from anyone with "Manbearpig", Cartman's mom turns to the Dog Whisperer in "Tsst!", Satan has a killer Halloween party in "Hell on Earth 2006", and Cartman seeks to freeze himself in anticipation for the release of the Nintendo Wii in "Go God Go". The best moments of the season however came with the two part "Cartoon Wars" which hilariously lampooned Family Guy, and it makes sense in a way you've never imagined. "Make Love, Not Warcraft" satires the players of the incredibly popular online RPG, and "Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy" finds little Ike having an illicit affair. The only downpoint of the season is the closing "Stanley's Cup" which finds Stan coaching a terrible pee-wee hockey team, for no apparent reason. This episode just isn't funny, at all. Despite that though, every other episode here in the tenth season is a winner, and ten years and still going strong, South Park proves that these kids are quite alright.

4.0 out of 5 stars
"Similar to pig droppings, but more manbear like"---Al Gore, September 2, 2007
OK, there are a few episodes in this season that are a little much. The social/political satire is still as strong as ever but the episodes are stretching more to make their points. Instead of being absurdly funny and clever, some of these episodes are just absurd and go out of their way to say, "Look at me, look how shocking I am" ("The Return of Chef," "Smug Alert!," "A Million Little Fibers," "Stanley's Cup"). Still, this season offers what I believe is the greatest SP episode of all-time and maybe the best thing I have ever seen on television: "Make Love Not Warcraft." This episode is so well-done in animation (yes, excellent SP animation) and story-writing that I cannot praise it enough. Plus, it includes music from one of my favorite singers ever: Paul Stanley! Then there are the excellent two-parters when Cartman goes to the future (Mrs. Garrison and that scholar guy are hilarious!) and "Cartoon Wars" where SP takes on Family Guy with references to other animated shows. "Miss Teacher Bangs A Boy" takes the female teacher/boy student love affair controversy to a level only SP can. The positives outweight the negatives here but it's not perfect, so I can't give it 5 stars no matter how much I love the World of Warcraft episode. The cover of the box (Target edition) is awesome. You see the SP boys fat and pimply and, by tilting the box, you see their World of Warcraft characters.
Disc 1:
"The Return of Chef"--Controversial episode that got back at Isaac Hayes for leaving SP when it tackled the Scientology issue. Hearing old Chef audio clips, the SP boys notice something has changed drastically in Chef after his return from an adventure with a mysterious club. Yikes!
"Smug Alert!"--People of SP start buying hybrid cars and find out they're threatening the planet with emissions of another kind. The beginning of this episode with Gerald acting all high and mighty in his hybrid was great. I thought it was going to be another excellent episode. At the point where the forest ranger explains what's going on to Stan, things went downhill. Here, the episode tried a little too hard to make a statement. It is very contrived.
"Cartoon Wars Part 1"--Fear engulfs SP when a Family Guy episode showing an image of Mohammad threatens holy war. While the nation buries its head in the sand (literally), Cartman goes on a mission to cancel Family Guy and Kyle tries to stop him.
"Cartoon Wars Part 2"--Pre-empted for a Terrance and Phillip television special...just kidding. Cartman finds out something shocking about the writers of Family Guy. I'll admit that show makes a lot more sense now. The Muslims' retaliation was going in the right direction but ended up going the way of "The Passion of the Jew" which is unfortunate because it became stupid instead of funny.
"A Million Little Fibers"--Towlie promotes his memoirs but hits a snatch...er...snag when he lies to Oprah Winfrey. This episode is way over-the-top for my tastes and is not re-watchable.
Disc 2:
"Manbearpig"--Al Gore is super serial about a new threat to the planet. Can the man who invented the Internet save the earth from the vicious Manbearpig? Wait...isn't manbearpig an endangered species?
"Tsst"--Mrs. Cartman has had it with her out-of-control son but, after failing on several nanny reality shows, has to resort to hiring a dog trainer. One of the better episodes of this season.
"Make Love Not Warcraft"--The best thing I've seen on TV, period. Brilliant! It's interesting that here is one of the few times Cartman is a good leader who isn't a jerk to everyone...except Butters, of course.
"The Mystery of the Urinal Deuce"--An unwelcomed sight in the boy's room somehow leads to the unlocking of a 9/11 conspiracy. We get to meet the Hardly Boys who seem to be hardly ever not hard. The funniest part of this episode is how Mr. Mackey keeps hounding on finding more than a cake in the urinal.
"Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy"--A teacher at SP Elementary is having an affair with a student...a very young student. Meanwhile, Cartman gets some real "authoritie" as a hallway monitor and treats his job as if he is a certain television bounty hunter. His assistant Beth with the big knockers is hilarious.
Disc 3:
"Hell On Earth 2006"--Satan wants a Halloween party just like the Super Sweet 16 parties those snotty rich girls on MTV get. Meanwhile, the folks of SP keep summoning Biggie Smalls back to earth. A ho-hum episode. The Three Stooges take-off with Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacey doesn't do it for me. It just doesn't make sense as Bundy would never hang out with those guys. Plus, Gacey would want to kill children, not adults and Dahmer would be killing young, dark-skinned men.
"Go God Go"--Mrs. Garrison is against teaching her class evolution until a handsome atheist scholar is hired to teach her class. Meanwhile, Cartman can't wait for the release of the Nintendo Wii so he has himself frozen but his defrost took longer than he anticipated. Tears came to my eyes when Mrs. Garrison described evolution to the class I was laughing so hard.
"Go God Go XII"--Cartman is stuck in the future where there is no religion and, therefore, no war...yeah right! I like how they say "science" in their slurs instead of "God" or "JC." When Cartman calls himself in the past it is hilarious! He finally gets to encounter his awful self but, of course, doesn't learn anything from it.
"Stanley's Cup"--To get his bike out of impound, Stan coaches a peewee hockey team that includes a player dying of cancer. This episode tries too hard to be heavy, but I guess that was the goal, er, point.
