South Park: Season 2

In continuing my chronological viewings of the entire South Park collection via the show's website, here are some of my impressions of Season II. As could be expected, the quality of the show's look has certainly increased since Season I, and although the storylines haven't quite made it to the level they are today, they have improved. Here are some of my favorite episodes:

Ike's Wee Wee:
The kids try to save Kyle's brother Ike from circumcision while Mr. Mackey deals with his newfound drug addiction.

Chickenpox:
All the parents try to give the kids chickenpox by having them spend time with Kenny (who has it), and the kids retaliate by getting a prostitute to give them all herpes.

Spookyfish:
The first Halloween special. An "evil" twin version of Cartman comes over from a parallel universe, but since he's the opposite of his true self, he's actually really nice. Also, the whole presentation of the murderous fish is actually a little bit creepy.

Merry Christmas Charlie Manson:
The boys spend Christmas with the whole Cartman family (all of whom act just like Eric...really funny stuff), and Charles Manson escapes from prison and ends up being nice.
