Hello out there in tvland, or rather cartoon land, and welcome to my review of Silverhawks volume one on DVD! To those of you who are unfamiliar with this show, it is the cousin of one of the most popular cartoons of the eighties, Thundercats….HO! After kids in the mid-eighties went ga-ga over the pack of ferociously fun and morally upstanding humanoid felines, the same creative team of Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass quickly assembled another animal/human/hero concept for the kiddies 1986 after school line-up.

Everyone knows South Park – so everyone also knows they “go too far” a lot. Personally, these days, I’m not offended by anything. And I believe most of young America feels the same way. I believe this is also why South Park is still flourishing after seasons and seasons of success.
I did not watch South Park from the get-go. What drew me in was the incredibly epic episodes. The two-parters and the cinematic storylines. South Park is doing more of these than ever. And this is especially true of the episodes featured on The Cult of Cartman dvd collection. Continue reading “Review – South Park The Cult of Cartman: Revelations”
