This Just In: South Park's 7th Season
Posted on 03.31.06 by Widge @ 4:07 am

One of the shows that blew your mind and sent you into howling fits still delivers even today (as the recent debacle with Chef and Parker and Stone's declaration of war against Scientology proves). Of course, it's South Park, where no cow is sacred. Included are episodes that tackle Queer Eye, the Bennifer monster, Christian rock music, Mormons, the elderly, smoking, and my personal favorite...the episode where Stan goes Goth. It's so incredibly easy to attack the desire to conform to non-conformity, but these guys make it fresh, new and hilarious. Maybe it's the way that kid keeps flipping his hair. I have no idea.

Regardless, with the destruction engine raging ever onwards, grab this Comedy Central/Paramount release: it comes with all fifteen seventh season episodes across three discs, and each episode comes with a short audio commentary by Parker and Stone.

Buy it from Amazon.

Posted on 03.25.06 by HTQ4 @ 7:34 am

Film:
DVD:

Series Created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels
Starring the Voices of Mike Judge, Kathy Najimy, Pamela Segall, Brittany Murphy, Johnny Hardwick, and Stephen Root

Features:

  • All twenty-five third season episodes

Released by: Fox Home Entertainment
Rating: NR (suitable for all audiences)
Region: 1

My Advice: Rent it.

The devastating news at the end of Season Two was that Hank had to start selling propane at the Megalo Mart, then there was a huge propane explosion killing nearly everyone and burning Luanne's hair off. Because of the explosion, Hank develops a fear of Propane and can't take his old job back. In fact, he can't even grill out on his own propane grill. It's all downhill from there: Peggy takes a job as a substitute teacher and gets in trouble for spanking some children, Hank and Bobby get a chance to visit the Dallas Cowboys training camp and they get hell bent on convincing the team to move their camp from Witchita Falls to Arlen, and Hank and Peggy decide to go skydiving to prove that there are not getting old as their 20th anniversary draws nigh.

Cartoon Brew is bringing the wacky Disney noise. In addition to a magazine ad where it's Mickey Mouse vs. gonorrhea, they also posted linkage to the Google video above: Walt Disney presents VD ATTACK PLAN!

The Brain is Only Functioning at Fifty Percent Capacity
Posted on 03.18.06 by Widge @ 6:08 pm

A tantalizing tidbit of a show you didn't get to see, from Webster Colcord. Hey, it's got us written all over it: giant robot woken from sleep by a silent mixmaster and sent to defend the city? Sweet! Shame Nickelodeon passed on it.
