With SOUTH PARK: THE COMPLETE NINTH SEASON, released March 6, 2007 (Paramount Home Ent., $49.98), you get all 14 animated episodes from 2005 in a three-disc DVD set, featuring mini-commentaries on each show by creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
Highlights include the opening episode, "Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina," in which he has a sex-change operation; "Best Friends Forever," in which Kenny buys a PSP, dies and then helps Heaven beat Hell; "The Losing Edge," in which the boys realize they hate baseball and come up with a plan to lose; and the infamous "Trapped in the Closet," which skewered Scientology and drew the outrage of Isaac Hayes, the voice of Chef, who quit the series.
