South Park: The Complete Eighteenth Season

Creator and voice stars Trey Parker and Matt Stone haven't quite beat the dead horse to a bloody pulp, as evidenced with this 2014 10-episode 18th season of the long-running vulgar animated series, which includes continuations of storylines (in a change from the usual standalone episodes or specific arcs). In “Go Fund Yourself,” potty-mouthed Colorado grade-schoolers Kyle, Stan, Cartman, and Kenny drop out of classes to make money on a start-up company that does nothing; “Gluten Free Ebola” finds the boys on the outs with their school friends and trying to get back in their good graces by offering up singer Lorde (who is actually Stan's dad); “The Cissy” features Cartman jumping on the transgender train to get better bathroom privileges; and “Handicar” spotlights handicapped Timmy as he takes over the local rideshare market. Also featuring the Emmy-nominated episode “Freemium Isn't Free” (with an appearance by South Park movie characters Terrance and Phillip), “Cock Magic,” and the two-part season finale “#REHASH” and “#HappyHolograms,” extras include episode commentaries and deleted scenes. A strong optional purchase. (J. Williams-Wood)
