Fresh from their 2007 Emmy® win for Outstanding Animated Program, South Park is still going strong a decade after the controversial show first graced our TV screens.
Created by comic geniuses Trey Parker and Matt Stone, South Park began in 1992 when Parker and Stone, at the time students at the University of Colorado, met in a film class and created an animated short called Jesus vs. Frosty, featuring prototypes of the main characters of South Park. .
After creating a series with FOX and then Comedy Central, the show premiered in August 1997 featuring the misadventures of four foul-mouthed, troublemaking young boys in a small, backward town in the Colorado Rockies. South Park quickly became famed for its social commentary and outrageous ridicule, and is now in its 11th Season. Having been nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program seven times, the show has now won twice; once in 2005 for the episode Best Friends Forever and the win this year for the 2006 episode Make Love, Not Warcraft.
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of one of the most successful animated shows of all time, Paramount Home Entertainment is releasing The Complete Fifth Season for the first time ever, and re-launching Seasons 1 & 2, all available from 22nd October 2007.
