Article summary

There is nothing in South Park's seventh season to offend Tom Cruise (nothing about Scientology, at any rate; that will come in season 9). However, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Rob Reiner, the Queer Eye guys, Christopher Reeve (!), war supporters and anti-war protesters, and Mormons, do not get off so easy. But, "Who cares?" as the townspeople sing in "I'm a Little Bit Country." What matters is that with this particular episode, South Park attained the precious, syndication-ready 100-episode mark! Another milestone: "Raisins," in which Wendy breaks up with Stan, who falls under the influence of the "Goth kids" ("If you want to be one of the non-comformists, all you have to do is dress just like us and listen to the same music we do").

Even by South Park standards, season 7 is pretty hardcore. In "Christian Rock Hard," Cartman is so determined to attain platinum album status before Kyle and his band that he forms a Christian rock group. The band's repertoire makes Tom Lehrer's once-scandalous "Vatican Rag" sound like "Oh, Happy Day." But mostly, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone take Cheney-like potshots at pop-culture notables. In "South Park Is Gay!", we discover what is really behind the "metrosexual" phenomenon and the true identity of the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy quartet. In "Butt Out," Rob Reiner is portrayed as a corpulent goo-filled "fascist" willing to the sanction murder (of Cartman) to further his anti-"Big Tobacco" agenda. As you can guess from the title, "Fat Butt and Pancake Head" is a merciless deconstruction of "Bennifer," as Cartman's Jennifer Lopez hand puppet dethrones the real thing, and attracts the amorous attention of Ben Affleck. "All About Mormons" anticipates the Scientology episode, "Trapped in the Closet" (not included here, and if lawyers have anything to say about it, might not be included in a season 9 set, either) with a straight-faced musical dramatization of the Joseph Smith story. "Everyone thought we were making stuff up to be funny," Parker and Stone relate in their mini commentary (optional for each episode). "But we're not. We're not making this stuff up in this show." Which is perhaps why the episode "Cancelled," which posits that Earth exists only as reality-TV fodder for aliens, doesn't seem so farfetched. --Donald Liebenson

Keep the seasons coming

To some south park fans the earlier seasons are best.Well the more they go the better they are,not all of the episodes are funny but the ones that are funny are better than the older ones.Its a more mature south park that some fans like more than the previous seasons.

I agree but i like every season so to me that opinion is okay,it changed, no matter what you say it changed.But some things never dies like Kenny who came back after not being there in the season 6,he appears on the final seconds of the season.I own season 6 but i got to say that Kenny is missing,now he`s back!

I think that you can expect to get kinda same special features,comentaries,comedy central prewiew...but i would buy it for the episodes of course

here is a list of the episodes that will be included in the 7th season ;
704-Cancelled
702-Krazy kripples
703-Toilet paper
701-I`m a little bit country
705-Fat butt and pancake head
706-Lil`crime stopper

710-Gray dawn
711-Casa bonita

713-Butt out
714-Raisins
715-Its christmas in canada

These are the 15 episodes from season 7 that came out march 21 of this year `o6 so dont miss it recomended To all s-p fans.

The seventh season had appearently problems with the sound especially on disc 1 and thats true but not to the point where you shouldnt buy it i was aware of the problem and i bought and i love it!Its a great season.

Past its prime

I have not seen the DVDs of course, but I say that season 7 constitutes a definite downward slide in the quality of what was (very impressively) a gem of a show over 6 full seasons. This season should be ignored, and hopefully will be by all but the most uncritical of die-hard fans.

Oh! My god! They've killed Ken... aw, nevermind

That's right! Kenny's now back for good! (ok, some of you may bring up he has died for good by the end of season 5, but... Hey! Relax guy! Don’t you think life is a tasteful bowl of surprises! So shove back this angriness deep up your… well deep enough! and take it easy! Don't you wanna believe in miracles? I mean: it'd already happened in the best part of past seasons so... You really should feel my nipples right now, cause this season is also very much exciting. I can't wait.
Since there is NO list of shows for this season already,
episodes are listed as such:

701 - I'm a little bit country (Iraqi war's tearing US apart while Cartman's trying to get a flashback and finally saves the day!)
702 - Krazy Kripple (Timmy and Jimmy get involved in gang wars cause jealous of the attention Christopher Reeves gets. End with Crips vs. Bloods)
703 - Toilet paper (Hannibal's style applied to houses TPing!)
704 - Cancelled (100th episode!!! Let's face it: life on Earth is just a big intergalactic reality show!)
705 - Fat Butt and Pancake Head (Cartman got one hand possessed by... Rrr'ennifer Lopez!)
706 - Lil' Crime Stoppers (The boys take over cops for a while)
707 - Red Man's Greed (Native people take South Park back!)
708 - South Park is Gay (a more precise term'd be "metro sexual"! They're all queers anyway!)
709 - Christian Rock Hard (Faith +1 is born(again))
710 - Grey Dawn (the Elders strike back!)
711 - Casa Bonita (Butter's missing... again)
712 - All About the Mormons? (The real story behind the book of Mormon!)
713 - Butt Out (Rob Riener knows best: the end justifies the means)
714 - Raisins (Stan's all out of love, and turns himself to the hopeless Goth side)
715 - It's Christmas in Canada (Canada have a new Prime Minister who instates strange laws... Wizard of Oz's spoof)
