Review:

Yet another season of the long running animated series “South Park” has been released on DVD and now on {Blu-ray), only this time, the shows are completely uncensored. This three-disc set contains the fourteen episodes that ran between March and November of 2008. ***

This {Blu-ray} edition shows details that you haven't seen before on past seasons,such as the character's clothing and the colorful sets around the scenes that they are involved in for each scene.The animation can be a bit annoying at times during moving scenes throughout each episode but this is something that is natural for a digital dvd copy compared to the old tape format although it still looks great.

Special Features:

Every episode on the DVD and Blu-Ray editions includes a mini-commentary by show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Three featurettes are attached to specially selected episodes. The first, “Making Boobage: Behind the Scenes of ‘Major Boobage,’” documents the scenes that pay homage to “Heavy Metal.” The second, “Six Days to South Park: A Day-By-Day Making of ‘South Park,’” reveals how the episode “Super Fun Time” was made only six days before it was aired. The third, “Behind the Scenes: ‘About Last Night ...,’” explains how the episode was made in only one day. Only the Blu-Ray edition includes a code that lets you download digital copies of the episodes from season twelve.

Final Words:

This is the 1st season to be release on {Bluray}. Although still topical and shocking, “South Park”- (12) may be the best season to date it still wonderful to see it in a (1080i) high definition format and framed it's original (1.78:1) ratio, though it's not quite up to par with the best of the series from past years it has always sought to push the envelope while being entertaining at the same time. This twelfth season proves that the show will continue to be an equal opportunity offenser.
