South Park: The Complete 10th Season Grade: A Extras: A

One of the best seasons Parker and Stone have ever created

Season 10 of "South Park" ranks up there as one of the best total seasons Trey Parker and Matt Stone have ever created. The plots combine a perfect mix of plain-stupid jokes and mockeries of current events, which works flawlessly. And on top of all of that, they did the entire season without Chef's character after Isaac Hayes quit right before the beginning of the season.\nSo how do the two respond? They create a rebuttal episode making fun of Scientology as Chef gets brainwashed by a "faggy little group." Stone and Parker said in the director's commentary that the break between Hayes and the show was clean until a press release called the duo "bigots," which led to the angry rebuttal episode.\nBut that's not all they made fun of. This season's plot lines contain jokes about hybrid cars, Al Gore, the Dog Whisper, ManBearPigs,"Family Guy," the Nintendo Wii, and Oprah's talking sex organ.\nThis season even contains the return of Towelie, the stoner towel made famous in season five as the world of potheads publicized the greatness of a talking towel. \nSpecial features include ommentary from Parker and Stone on each episode. Although they only talk about each one for a few minutes, the dialogue between the two are as entertaining as the episodes themselves. They have some of the most random thoughts throughout their commentaries and insights as to why episodes' origins usually come from a random story. For instance, the hybrid-car jokes came purely from a banquet dinner where everyone talked about how they were helping the environment.\nSo as Al Gore would say, "Jesus on ice skates," you need to buy this season. I'm super-duper cereal.
