List of episodes

The First Season of the American animated television series South Park initially ran for 13 episodes on the US network Comedy Central, from August 13, 1997 to February 25, 1998.[1] The creators of the series, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, wrote most of the season's episodes, with Dan Sterling, Philip Stark, and David Goodman receiving writing credit for some episodes as well. The narrative of the show revolves around four children—Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick—and their bizarre experiences in the titular mountain town.

South Park originated from Parker and Stone's 1992 animated short, Jesus vs. Frosty. The low-budget, crudely-made film featured prototypes of South Park's main characters. Fox executive Brian Graden saw the film and in 1995 commissioned Parker and Stone to create a second short film, which became Jesus vs. Santa. This short more closely resembled what would become the style of South Park. It became popular and was widely shared over the Internet. This led to talks to create a series, first with Fox, then with Comedy Central, where the series debuted on August 13, 1997. Comedy Central originally ordered only six episodes of South Park for the first season's initial run. However, when the show proved to be a success, it requested an additional seven, which Parker and Stone had to produce quickly. The show was released on DVD in November 2002 in region 1, and in October 2007 in region 2 and 4.

The first season was a ratings success for Comedy Central. Its Nielsen ratings rose from 1.3 for the first episode to 6.4 by the tenth episode. Several episodes received award nominations, including nominations for a 1998 Emmy Award in the "Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour)" and a GLAAD Award in the "Outstanding TV – Individual Episode" category for the episode "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride". During the season, South Park won a CableACE Award for "Best Animated Series", and was nominated for a 1998 Annie Award in the "Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Primetime or Late Night Television Program". Critics gave the season mixed reviews, from rating it so offensive that it "shouldn't have been made" and "it doesn't just push the envelope; it knocks it off the table,"[2] to "coming pretty damn close" to being a "perfect" television series season.[3]

Development

The idea for South Park originated in 1992 when creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were students at the University of Colorado. Meeting in film class, they discussed filming a three-minute short film involving a boy who befriended a talking feces named Mr. Hankey. Although the Mr. Hankey short was never made,[15] Parker and Stone created a Christmas-related animated short commonly known as "Jesus vs. Frosty". The low-budget, crudely made animation featured prototypes for the main characters of South Park, including Cartman, Stan, and Kyle. Fox Broadcasting Company executive Brian Graden saw the film and in 1995 commissioned Parker and Stone to create a second short film that he could send to his friends as a video Christmas card. Titled The Spirit of Christmas, also known as "Jesus vs. Santa", the short resembled the style of the later series more closely.[16]

The video became popular and was widely copied and shared over the Internet. When the shorts began to generate interest for a possible television series, Parker and Stone conceived the idea of a South Park-like show with four child characters, but with a talking stool named Mr. Hankey as the show's main protagonist; they planned to call it The Mr. Hankey Show. They pitched the idea to Graden, but he rejected it and said, according to Stone, "I'm not putting poo on my network." Parker and Stone adapted their original idea into a show revolving around four children in the South Park Town, dropping Mr. Hankey as a protagonist. However, they planned to revive the character in a minor supporting role in a future episode.[17] Later, when Comedy Central expressed interest in the series, Parker and Stone brought up the idea of a Mr. Hankey episode during negotiations with network executives. During a meeting, Parker claimed to have asked "One thing we have to know before we really go any further: how do you feel about talking poo?" The Comedy Central executives were receptive to the idea,[18] which Parker stated to be one of the main reasons he and Stone decided to sign on with the channel. The first episode of the series, "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe", debuted on Comedy Central on August 13, 1997, while Mr. Hankey debuted in the tenth episode, "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo".[15]

Scholar Stephen Groening later commented that the show appeared as part of a reaction to the culture wars of the 1980s and 1990s in the United States, in which issues such as Murphy Brown's motherhood, Tinky Winky's sexuality, and The Simpsons' family values were extensively debated. The culture wars, and political correctness in particular, were driven by the belief that relativism was becoming more relevant to daily life. Groening explained that South Park "made a name for itself as rude, crude, vulgar, offensive, and potentially dangerous". Its critics argued that the Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny were poor role models for children while its supporters celebrated the show's defense of free speech.[19]

The pilot episode, "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe", received poor results from test audiences.[17] Regarding the language in the episode, Parker later acknowledged that he and Stone felt pressure to live up to their previous two shorts, and as a result, "tried to push things... maybe further than we should".[20] In contrast, they allowed subsequent episodes to "be more natural",[21] focusing more on making fun of topics considered taboo "without just throwing a bunch of dirty words in there."[20] Based on the poor test audience results, Comedy Central executives were unsure whether they wanted to order any additional episodes after "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe". However, when Internet buzz began to generate about the two original shorts, the network paid Parker and Stone to write one more episode, but opted not to commit to a full Comedy Central series until after reading the script. The resulting script was "Weight Gain 4000", which Parker and Stone wrote while they were working on their 1997 comedy-action film, Orgazmo. In writing the script, the duo sought to give Comedy Central executives an idea of how the series would be and how each episode could differ from the others. The network liked the script and agreed to commit to a series when Parker and Stone said they would not write another individual episode script until they signed off on a season of at least six episodes.[17]

Comedy Central originally ordered only these six episodes for the first season's initial run, but when the show proved to be a success, they requested an additional seven, which Parker and Stone had to produce quickly. "Pinkeye", the first new episode to be produced, was aired on October 29, 1997, two and a half months after the show's premiere.[22][23] Parker and Stone made three holiday episodes ("Pinkeye", "Starvin' Marvin" and "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo") that aired over the course of three months. The remaining four episodes aired later, in February 1998.[24]

"Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" was the only episode animated almost completely with traditional cut paper, stop-motion animation techniques.[25] All subsequent episodes were fully computer-animated using Power Animator or Maya.[26] By the animation of the eighth episode, "Damien", much of the drawing and animation responsibilities that had been initially handled by Parker and Stone, were now being delegated to a team of animators.[17] Parker and Stone credit "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" with helping elevate the series during the early part of the season, and felt that "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo", the show's first official Christmas special, raised South Park to a new level of popularity and relevance. Parker said of it: "This was the episode that just vaulted everything."[15]

DVD

The DVD cover shows the four main charactrers; Stan, Cartman, Kenny and Kyle smiling and posing at the camera with the South Park logo behind the boys. The cover does not have any references and theme, making it the only DVD from South Park without any themes. The DVD's primary color is gray and black. The inside cover shows Kyle and Stan los oking at Kenny on the floor, who is missing his lower-half of his body, as Cartman is still smiling at the camera. The back cover shows the boys laughing at Kyle, who is showing his bare buttocks at the camera. The DVD also shows images from the Season One episodes as the DVD cover is open. Images focuses on the people who are important in scenes as others are in gray background, including; an extremely obese Cartman breaking down the stage in Weight Gain 4000, Chef in Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty Slut, Jesus and Satan in the boxing ring in Damien, and Ike bouncing around at the bus stop in Cartman Gets an Anal Probe. The disc covers all feature Kenny and images are shown on discs; Kenny being killed by an opposite football team during a game in Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride, a platypus Kenny after being shot by Jimbo in "Damien", and Kenny on a train track as the train approaches behind him.

Reception

South Park's first season was a ratings success for Comedy Central.[27] The show's first episode, "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe", earned a Nielsen rating of 1.3, translating to 980,000 viewers, which was considered high for a cable program in the United States at the time.[27] It increased slightly by the third episode, "Volcano", and by the sixth episode, "Death", the show had reached a 1.7 rating.[27] The ratings continued to rise rapidly from the seventh episode on, each one earning a 3.8 ("Pinkeye"), 4.8 ("Starvin' Marvin'"), 5.4 ("Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo"), 6.4 ("Damien"), and 6.9 ("Mecha-Streisand") respectively.[27] This corresponded to an increase to 5.4 million viewers in 3.2 million households.[28][29] The season finale, "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut" received a Nielsen rating in the 8.0 range,[30] as well as over 300,000 viewers when first aired in Canada in August 1998.[31][32]

Despite high ratings, reviews from television critics for the season were mixed. "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe", the first episode of the series, received generally negative reviews after airing. L. Brent Bozell, founder and then-president of the Parents Television Council, gave an unfavorable review of the episode, stating: "South Park is so offensive that it shouldn't have been made. It doesn't just push the envelope; it knocks it off the table."[2] Bruce Fretts of Entertainment Weekly thought poorly of the writing and characters, stating that "If only the kids' jokes were as fresh as their mouths" and "It might help if the South Park kids had personalities, but they're as one-dimensional as the show's cut-and-paste animation".[33] Calling the series "sophomoric, gross, and unfunny," Hal Boedeker of the Orlando Sentinel believed that the episode "makes such a bad impression that it's hard to get on the show's strange wavelength".[34]

When "Weight Gain 4000" aired, many writers in the mainstream media were still debating the longevity and the overall quality of South Park. With the series still in its earliest stages, the episode continued to shock many due to the characters frequent use of profanities.[35] Nevertheless, several reviewers felt "Weight Gain 4000" was a significant improvement over "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe", and felt it went in a much more satirical direction.[36][37] Several media outlets described the fifth episode of the season, "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig", as one of the most popular early South Park episodes.[38][39][40] Tom Carson of Newsday said it was the most outrageous South Park episode until "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo" aired three months later.[41] Many reviewers also said the mere title demonstrated the crudeness and originality of South Park.[18][42]

Years later, Jeremy Conrad of IGN wrote in a DVD review that he thinks it is rare when a television season is "perfect", but "the first season of South Park comes pretty damn close. Almost every single episode in this three-disc set is a classic and each is still funny as hell even after so many viewings over the years."[3]

South Park became one of the first television series to be bootlegged via the Internet, just as The Spirit of Christmas did before it. College students digitized many episodes from the first season and streamed them online for friends who were unable to receive Comedy Central, due to its unavailability at the time.[43]

Awards

Some episodes of the first season received nominations for several entertainment awards. The season's fourth episode, "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride", was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1998 in the "Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour)" category,[44] but lost to the The Simpsons episode "Trash of the Titans".[45] The same episode was also nominated for a GLAAD Award in the "Outstanding TV – Individual Episode" category,[46] but lost to another The Simpsons episode "Homer's Phobia".[47] "Volcano", the season's third episode, was nominated for an Environmental Media Award in the "TV Episodic Comedy" category.[48] However, the eventual recipient of the award was the The Simpsons episode "The Old Man & the Lisa".[49][50]

During the series first season, South Park won a CableACE Award for "Best Animated Series",[51] and was nominated for an Annie Award in the "Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Primetime or Late Night Television Program" category.[52] In 1998, the two creators of the show, Matt Stone and Trey Parker won the "NOVA Award" given by the Producers Guild of America for the most promising producers in television.[53][54][55]

Six first season episodes were released in a three-VHS set on May 5, 1998, marking the first time South Park was made available on video. The set included "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe", "Weight Gain 4000", "Volcano", "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride", "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig" and "Death".[59] The first DVD releases came later that year, when the first twelve episodes were released by Warner Home Video on October 27 on the compilation collections South Park, Volume 1,[60] Volume 2,[61] and Volume 3.[62] The last episode of the season, "Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty Slut", was released on the South Park, Volume 4 on December 14, 1999.[63]

South Park – The Complete First Season was originally released by Warner Home Video, as a three-disc region 1 DVD box set in the USA on November 12, 2002, and received an MA rating.[64][65] The season was re-released on June 27, 2004 along with the re-releases of the second and third season by Paramount Home Entertainment. As well as every episode from the season, the DVD release features bonus material including episode introductions for every episode, two Christmas carols by Eric Cartman and Ned, a short clip featuring Jay Leno, and another one in which the four boys present at the 1997 CableACE Awards. Commentaries for each episode were initially produced by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, but when the two found out that the commentaries were to be edited, they requested the commentaries to be pulled off altogether. Instead, the commentaries were released unedited byComedy Central on a set of five CDs.[58] South Park: Complete Series 1 was released on October 4, 2007 in region 4,[66] and on October 22, 2007 in region 2, and received a 15 rating.[67] "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo" was released again on November 13, 2007, on the compilation DVD Christmas Time in South Park.[68]

The distribution licenses for six episodes of the South Park's first season ("Volcano", "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig", "Pinkeye", "Damien", "Starvin' Marvin", and "Mecha-Streisand") were purchased in 2000 by the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based company and website SightSound.com. The site made the episodes available for download $2.50 for a two-day copy, and $4.95 for a permanent copy. It was one of the first experiments with downloadable television videos, thus making South Park one of the first shows legally obtainable on the Internet.[69][70] In March 2008, Comedy Central made the first season's episodes as well as almost all the other South Park episodes available for legal streaming from within the United States on the South Park Studios website,[71] and later from within Canada,[72] and the United Kingdom.[73]
