South Park as good as before!    by Matthewop Green

South Park is a satirical look on most anything from Western society - politics, the media, today's youth, celebrities, violence in our society, and much much more.The main characters are four children who are basically mouthpieces for their creator's opinions, expressing views that would sound arrogant coming from adults. Stan represents the liberal viewpoint, as does his friend Kyle, who as a practising Jew, allows opportunity for religious comment. The supporting cast about South Park is also stellular. The lives (and minds) that intertwine with Stan, Cartman, Kenny and Kyle are just hilarious. Chef, Mr. Garrison. Kyles Mom and Dad, Cartman's Mother, Butters, Timmy!, Sherrif Bar Brady, Principal Victoria, Wendy, BeBe, and..Big Gay Al..etc The show started as something of a fad - the new vulgar, don't-let-the-kids-watch show on the block. But as real world events changed, "Park" evolved along with them. Standing as the kings on top of a soap box they constructed out of swearing kids, talking poo, homosexual hand puppets and hermaphroditic parents; Parker and Stone where blessed with the freedom of a hit series, hip status and a network that gave them the freedom to do whatever they want.episodes like "Chinpokomon", "The Passion of the Jew", "Tolerance Camp", and "Clubhouse" are classics. And most episodes get funnier every single time I see it and thanks to Comedy Central giving Parker and Stone full control for language.
Sadly, the premiere for the show's 14th season, which took on Tiger Woods and other recent fits of celebrity infidelity, has done little to quiet the grumbling. The episode felt lacking on pertinent things to say, as if Parker and Stone felt obligated to cover the Woods story just so they could maintain their reputation for quick turnaround on social issues. The duo's worldview has become increasingly didactic. Last season they spent an entire episode preaching about how it's okay to say "fag" sometimes, and the Woods episode was no less preachy. In DVD commentaries for past seasons, Parker and Stone have both claimed that their favorite episodes are the ones where the boys get to act like the kids that they are. It's everyday childlike things mixed with perverse absurdities that keeps South Park grounded and funny, things like arguing over Facebook statuses, writing dirty stories, or dying from autoerotic asphyxiation accidents. These elements are still present in the show, but they sometimes get drowned out by forced social commentary.

if you still love this show or if you still miss this show, you can watch it on dvd now. They are very cheap online.
