I really want to like this, but... In the past, South Park was delightfully offensive. The jokes were fresh, the scenarios were slightly shocking, but most of all it all was delivered without feeling so deliberate. Season five? Well ... it's different. The jokes appear to come from from a new found sense of self awareness. That could be the straw breaking this camels back. Trying hard is one thing, provided it isn't obvious. Being over the top is fine, as long as people don't realize the top has been conquered. Season five? I mean, Cartman cooking the parents of his nemesis in Chile? Please. Cartman was a funny bigot with a mean streak, but nothing so stupid as this. I can only hope Matt and Trey come through in season six with the magic that made the first five seasons so great. I'd hate to think I spent 40 more bucks on a three star box set.
