Just hope they stay away from the Trump/Garrison stuff this season. It's been beaten to death at the point.
The best episodes are the ones where the kids just do random **** with a pop culture reference or 2 thrown in. I hate when the whole episode is "What's in the news" centric.
That sounds suspiciously like Family Guy.
Yeah, but those episodes are also a lot more cohesive and the character dynamic is a lot funnier. I don't think the recent South Park seasons have been much good but the show's best material is definitely the mindless episodes like Casa Bonita. The virtual reality one from a couple years back was great too.

These 2 shows are about the same. Trying the political beats and all that.
[Citation needed]Everyone thinks it's totally liberal and mocking Trump but if you have watched it has mocked both sides. I mean PC Principal and his beatdown was mocking the liberal politically correct tone we live under. South Park totally markets the truthm they just put that funny haha spin on it so the sheep don't actually get it. They have exploited things like elections, events and trends. The walmart episode is life, we ***** about it, hate it but we continue it as we allow other big boxed stores. South Park is sophisticated but most of their audience isn''t sophisticated so they only get Cartman's fart jokes and such.
It really depends on what the show wants to be. If it just wants to be a comedy show, then, yes, it should go back to what it was in its first few years: irreverent humor with gags that maybe recur in a few episodes, but for the most part they're half-hour islands.Just hope they stay away from the Trump/Garrison stuff this season.

However, if it wants to continue to be satire, by definition it has to draw from some source material. Personally, I think Trey Parker and Matt Stone are brilliant satirists. Taking current events and issues and often disguising them within the show under different pretenses, allowing the viewer to enjoy the humor on the surface but then also find a deeper, often more hilarious joke when they catch the reference.
They are sick of it?
Jesus if they want to get cancelled it's not hard. Just have an inappropriate story line.
