South Park: Mini Mega Pack - Season 1-5

This review is for the actual blu-ray box set of South Park seasons 1-5 as pictured on this page with a pretty cool photo collage style graphic of (by now iconic) Kenny.As of my writing this review in June of 2019, the first 5 seasons of South Park (beautifully remastered in HD) can be purchased for a grand total of about $35 in one compact set. To me that’s a bit mind-blowing as I vividly recall how much a single DVD season of this show would cost in the early 200Xs and the quality on those standard definition sets can’t even begin to approach the gorgeous presentation available on these HD blu-ray presentations.Not only have the creators (Trey and Matt) gone back to the early seasons and completely re-rendered them in true high definition, they’ve also thoughtfully expanded the picture on both sides (with ZERO cropping!) to fill our modern widescreen televisions. The result is spectacular and the absolute best, definitive presentation that these episodes will ever have. Period.That being said, I’m also pleased to say that the early seasons are just as funny now as they were when they originally aired. So much so that, due to my enjoyment, I completely lost track of time the first night after receiving this set. Ended up watching an entire disc after planning to only check out a few episodes!Really looking forward to working my way through all 5 seasons and moving on to the next set (6-10) as soon as I am able. As of this week two more sets containing the next 10 seasons have begun to appear in “the wild” (AKA Wal-Mart) and should hopefully be making their way to Amazon here pretty soon. That means 4 sets, each with 5 HD seasons, containing the majority of South Park’s entire run are out there for you to grab and enjoy forever. Could definitely think of worse ways to part with my money.*Side effects may include extreme fits of uncontrollable laughter and completely losing all track of time during initial viewing of this set.

The media could not be loaded.  The discs were perfect, no problems there. Only problem was the case, the case came broken and didn't close. I don't think this really affects the product itself, because the delivery is what really breaks the case. But it's still something to watch out for

Came quickly and in perfect condition!!!

This box set is amazing. A lot of work went into it. All the episodes have been re-animated in HD & widescreen. Excluding the pilot episode because it was made with real stop-animation. Also, there are a few flashbacks that are the original SD animation. But it's very brief & sort of makes sense. Don't watch Hulu. Get it on Blu Ray.

This is for the box set of South Park S1-S5 in Blu Ray.Pros include: 1080p, updated audio, etc.**NOTABLE CON:** Each episode in Season 1 and part of Season 2 is prefaced with a commentary skit, a ~1-2 minute clip of the creators explaining background (or lack thereof) for a particular episode. These special features are not packaged separately - they are MERGED into the actual episode track, as if they were part of the original episode.In other more recent blu ray releases of South Park, they include editions of episodes with twitter posts overlayed from when the episode originally aired. Notably - these overlay editions were separate tracks/playlists on the disk: You could choose to watch as aired or with the twitter overlay added. With this release, you do not have the option.So if you are rewatching the episodes, you are always prefaced with these special features. Special features should be packaged as separate items, not merged into the episodes. You can work around this by skipping the first chapter of every episode.What a terrible way to package special features. Seasons 2.5->5 appear to be unaffected

The Episodes on it are-Best Friends Forever- Good episode, Kenny is the first person to get a PSP in South Park. He dies and goes to heaven to fight Hell's army. 4/5Cancelled- Earth is a reality television show and it's going to be cancelled! The boys go to space to try to get the inter-galactic space television commitee to change their minds. Great episode. 4.5/5The Simpsons Already Did It- Cartman gets seapeople while Butters trys to destroy the earth with evil plans. Unfortunately, all his ideas were already done on the Simpsons. My favorite episode on the disc. 5/5Towelie- Stan gets the new video game system that the boys become obsessed over while they meet their new friend, the weed smoking towel Towelie! Decent episode, my least favorite but it's still good. 3.5/5Trapper Keeper- Cartman buys a Dawson's Creek trapper keep that is WAY cooler than Kyles! Cartman doesn't realize that it is an instrument of destruction, and a man named Bill Cosby tries to get it from him. Meanwhile Ike runs for class president. Pretty funny episode. 4/5If you are a fan of South Park and you own a PSP, I'd reccomend this UMD for you.

Product was shipped to me in less than a week and it was earlier than the estimation! The discs works perfectly fine!

The discs are hard to get out without break ing them i have to take two out to put it back in seasons 1 through 5 great show on season 3 now the older episodes are the best newer ones aren't that good

the dvd comes in a pretty good sized box with the dvds aranged in order from seasons 1 to 5unfortunately, when I opened the dvd box, most of the disks fell out on the floor, or fell from their case in to the boxthe content of the dvd is good. it's southpark, after all, and the reason I purchased it in the first place was before all my favorite episodes are the old school ones.what I am not so happy with are the interviews with trey and matt in the earlier episodes, and the making bacon thing. what does making a bacon sandwich have to do with southpark?. absolutely nothing

Great upgrade from the original poor quality DVD releases. All but the first episode have been reanimated by computer and are in 1.78:1 wide-screen, the first episode has been rescanned from film to HD but kept the 1.33:1 aspect ratio. Creator commentaries by Trey Parker and Matt Some have been recorded for all episodes.I was unsure when or if the UK would get a region B release and gambled on a USA import, they all however play on my unhacked blu-ray player. I do not know if they are region free or my standard UK Samsung UBD K8500 can play region A discs.Delivery only took 3 days but I paid extra for faster delivery.I am sure anybody purchasing will know if their a fan but it's great to re-watch in fantastic quality and well worth the upgrade.My only complaint as with the original DVD's is the annoying introductions from Trey and Matt but these end at episode 12 of season 2.

I’m kind of disappointed, i love south park and was so excited to finally get them on dvd but when i received them i noticed the discs looked like copies and there was no list of the episodes either and while trying to watch them the odd time the discs caused rainbow colours roll down my tv screen... which is something copies usually do from time to time... i expected items sold and dispatched from Amazon would be real and if they were copies then it would be in the description to let everyone know before buying them.

South Park at its best!Sat here having watched it with my 14 yr old lad, he can’t believe that this wasn’t banned...Looking at it myself I can’t beleive it got aired too, it’s amazing!Kyles mums a b-itch, is something we all sing now 😁

Love this. If you're expecting swearwords though, there are none, even after "It Hits The Fan". Absolutely all swears are bleeped except the S word on that one episode. I think this should have come with an episode list but this is minor. I really only wanted the DVDs because I think eventually South Park will be deemed too offensive to stream etc.
