I wish the show would focus more on the kids instead of Randy Marsh all the time.

My God, is this show still in production? I lost interest in it right around that controversial Muhammad 2-parter.

Ill be watching. Love South Park. They make fun of literally everything that I often wonder what Matt and Trey's actual opinions are about certain subjects.

So awesome, they got everyone pretty good. The Kapernik stuff was the best, especially the beginning when everyone leaves before the game even starts lol.

That was exactly my grievance with the whole thing. Let's pretend I have as much contempt for the First Ammendment as everyone else in the country for a second. Even then... I'm not a 49'ers fan, so why would I care what their back up QB does? Oh wait, I don't. I just want to be a loud idiot on social media.

Token's Life Matters lol.

The Trump stuff was spot on, but he's almost too easy at this point lol. Hopefully it pisses him off, at least.

You mean you haven't played the South Park game, The Stick of Truth aka one of the best games of all time? And you're missing out on a LOT of the recent shows? Gosh.

Got a good laugh at JJ rebooting the National Anthem and changing nothing about it

You know, in all honesty, for me, I hadn't watched much of South Park since about 1999 or 2000 and after the movie, until I moved to Japan the first time (2010), and I started watching it again, and realized that I definitely missed out. I would catch an ep occassionally within that ten-year span, but I still didn't just turn to it to watch. I didn't start regularly watching again until 2010. IMO, though, season 17 and 18 were kind of meh to me.

Anyway, I've seen every single episode now and the opener for season 20 was great. I'm glad that Matt and Trey feel like I do regarding Trump. He was all talk, no real plans, and is purposely sabotaging his own campaign just so Hilary can win.

Just like last season, I get this feeling that it's going to be another screw over Kyle season. That kid just cannot catch a break.

No, but I was interested in it. I even watched some gameplay on YouTube. The show itself just lost a lot of its heart in my opinion, especially after they got rid of Chef.

He left the show cause it was poking fun at Scientology, He was a Scientologist at the time.

Shows shouldn't last these long, they're a product of their time. Sorry, don't mean to crap on the thread but come on we need a new South Park for new generations not the Xth season.

So what if shows go on for a really long time? As long they continue to be good thats all that matters. Which South Park still is.

I know Matt and Trey have said they'll keep going as long as Comedy Central lets them. Good for them. Again, like with The Simpsons, people just enjoy complaining and nitpicking. Its so pretentious. If youve lost interest in something stop watching...simple.

We dont need a "South Park for this generation" when its still good. Being animated works in its favor to keep going. Ive always considered it a spiritual successor to Beavis and Butt-head although I know SP is far more crude.

They were the two most controversial cartoons from the 90s. I wish B&BH would have continued. The 2011 comeback was great.

South Park became more and more political commentary though, I mean sure it was always there but because they were able to make episodes so quickly that they would go for the next trend and the next. And just like watching The Daily Show it isn't as fun to re-watch older shows since they become obsolete in a sense. I was sad when The Colbert Report finished and it was usually great but it had had its best years. And you may not want a new "South Park" but I bet you new generations do.

You don't know if newer generations want "thier own South Park". Younger viewers probably enjoy the show just fine. The old seasons are easily available if they wanna see how it started.

I can understand episodes becoming irrelevant because they're usually based on whatever is currently going on but its still funny if you remember that stuff. You can still just pick up where since it is current.

If another show similar to South Park came along thats fine. I'd watch that too. The actual South Park does not need to end just for the sake of closing an era.

TigerClaw, I am aware for the reason he left South Park. I lost respect for him because of it, did he really think that this show would not make fun of Scientology especially since they made fun of everything else.
