I would hope that they would end south park after season 30, they can continue doing movies after that if they really want to. That brings them up to what? 2027, that's nearly this whole decade worth of new south park. They have enough time to set up a cool ending arc instead of making it zombie simpsons like family guy and other adult comedies.

It also sucks that we really aren't getting a new movie, these "12 movies" are going to be like DTVs that are TV show quality instead of bigger like the original South Park movie, which is what I'd want.

More importantly, are these 12 movies going to be South Park related? Or are they gonna be sh*t nobody cares about.

As someone who doesn't watch this series, what exactly have they been doing in the episodes all these years? Has it actually remained consistently good or a similar decline as The Simpsons?

It's kinda baffling this series never ended.

It's consensus among even diehard fans that the show totally s*it the bed with the member berry season, which had it's original plans entirely derailed because Trump won the election and they had to scramble for a new resolution

It's been touch and go ever since. Also it took so much time away from Trey Parker that he went through another divorce and I think it affected his writing. He may be in a better place now though, we'll have to see.

South Park started as a shock comedy, it was great in the 90s, much more simplistic but by the mid 2000's it had evolved into pointing out hypocrisy of whatever movements were happening at the time. I think they're still doing this haven't watched it since the 2000's, which I think would be tiring. at that time it was novel but unsure if it still is, the few clips I see from time to time are funny enough but i haven't actually watched anything in a decade.
South Park has just gotten a lot of hate recently from both left and right because they make fun of everything and since they're both snowlfakes they complain the show sucks. But it's hard to know if it actually sucks or they just got upset they made fun of their political views.

This is so spot-on, I'm laughing. I mean, this was my perspective, it's just funny to see how accurately others share it.

I just think it's funny how they essentially shut down production for a year and a half because of "Covid concerns" and the safety of their staff... despite the fact that tons of other shows and even big-budget movies got made in the meantime with only a few minor incidents.

Just say you were burnt out and wanted to take a long break, nobody's gonna be mad about that. But saying "We shut down because we were worried about our staff getting sick"... yeah, I'm sure. :roll: Everybody else in movies and TV went back to work forever ago. So it's pretty obvious what the real reason was.

I mean they've been open for years that they kinda hate still having to do the show at all, they just get paid too much money to stop. So they had an opportunity to take a break and jumped on it. That's fine, but don't try and spin it into something noble.

Aren't they just going to go back in time and undo that?

I haven't really checked in on south park much lately. Every time I check out an episode I usually go away entertained, I just haven't had the desire to keep up on it like I did the first 10 or so years. Anyway, good for them.

I'm probably more interested in the movies they could be making. Team America: World Police was definitely a gem that captured a lot about the spirit and fears of the time. I like their style of humor and would like to see them do more projects outside of south park so they can apply it in new ways that might feel more fresh.

It's crazy to think how long South Park and Family Guy have been going.

Not so surprised about The Simpsons because it kinda was the pioneer of those sort of shows. But South Park always seemed like it peaked in its earlier years and didn't remain as consistently popular as The Simpsons or even Family Guy. South Park came out at a time where being shocking and outrageous was the thing. Eventually, that stopped being a surprise and people weren't attracted to such shows anymore. But somehow, South Park has managed to survive.

The classic South Park episodes are pretty fun. Haven't watched the show in over a decade, though.

Dude, Team America was a masterpiece of film making. And that was a puppet movie for God's sake. :lol:8):)
