Tasty Biscuits
with fancy sauce
Yeah, fine episode, but didn't feel like a finale -- was hoping for this season to go out with more of a bang than a whimper.
Saw Red Hot Catholic Love, Season 6. What a brutal story....
Another Gem from season 9: The Death of Eric Cartman
Is this the best season?
I think the comparisons is justifiable but I don't think this is the case, at least for me. (might just be a fanboy). South Park's stuff of the last 5 years is still better than what The Simpsons have been producing since season 10. I think South Park has evolved in their approach of the show, they rely a lot more on social commentary (see videos at the end of my post) than hilarious scenarios (Awesome-O, Scott Tenorman, etc.). Another thing that doesn't help is their method of making the episode from scratch in 7 days. It increases the risk of the episode being a dud or relying too much on factors that are out of their power (e.g. building a season around Hilary winning). Admitedly, I don't watch them sober so it helps the viewing experience but I do believe last week's episode and the school shooting ones were classic South Park stuff.everyone will have different thoughts on what is the best season, there are some many good ones, but I'd say most seasons have some great episodes, some good ones, and some weak ones. For me if I had to pick one season I would go with 15 or 13, 10, 11, 9, 8, 7. Just so many it's hard to chose, but around 19 or 20 was the season really good season.
I've watched every episode since the first day they aired and I'm a huge fan of the show as Matt and Trey just so often nail it, so often they get it right in terms of what they are saying in the episode. But the last few seasons I feel like have been on the downturn. I wonder if it's like the Simpsons, another show I saw from the first day it aired, I watched it when it was on the Tracey Ullman show and to this day I consider it one of the greatest things ever on tv even better then South Park.
I was a massive Simpons fan and when the show started to decline and posters on this site were trashing it, I defended the show and thought what are they talking about this show is still great but as the seasons went by I just started to care less and less before finally giving up on watching any new episodes in the last few years. At some point I may get around to watching them when it's off the air and FOX has milked every penny it can from the franchise but it just got stale and I didn't think I could ever stop watching that show but it feels like this is the way South Park is going at least for me. I don't even look forward to the show any more, now I just watch it to see if the next episode will be a classic or funny enough to want to watch it again or will it be one to forget. They still put out some good ones but several weak ones as well, which is not surprising since they have been around for so long like the Simpsons as it's got to be very difficult to come up with new funny edgy stuff like they do for so long.
