Hope for something as good as last seasons "Raising the Bar"
Am I the only one that doesn't like those??

This should be a season must every year. Not a fan of to much Cartman.
They can be hit or miss for me.

how does this show hold up in comparison to Simpsons this late in the game?
Very very well. Quite a few hit or miss but lately it's been pretty good.

What has South Park done that has kept it from the missteps made by The Simpsons in later years? I haven't tuned into South Park since season 15, but it's material is still reasonably fresh. Certainly not as embarrassingly lame as The Simpsons have become.

All the South Park episodes are still written by Parker.
The Simpsons, meanwhile, are on their 5th generation of writers. Its not that they've gotten worse, its that the old writers left ages ago.
Pretty sure he's been there for a while. Well, I saw him on the documentary. He does voicework too.
Yeah I think he was consulting before, now he's full time.
Ahh that's really great. With him leaving SNL, I now understand why. Really happy for this if true.

Yeah he's been doing it for awhile. In Nerdist podcast, he said he would come in for a few hours and bounce ideas with Matt and Trey and one more person, then Trey and Matt would work on it. They would also have retreats before the season starts, which is really just renting a hotel suite and talking about ideas.

Whats with the art style? Are they doing like a full three dimensional construction paper episode as homage to the first season?
Edit: It looks like construction paper with cg elements.
Maybe it's just the new intro.
Even when The Simpsons had old writers come back, they couldn't get the magic back. South Park is different. It goes wherever Trey wants to take it. Sometimes he fails, but he has that freedom. It's him or nothing.
Here's the website for that marathon:

Yessssssssss. I was wondering is there is a SP season this year at all after no show in spring.
Are you using Mediahint?
Butters bottom bitch has to be one of my favourites.
And the one where butters is obsessed with bush and is trimming the little plant, got me
And then his line something like
"Yeah i finally paid a girl to see her bush and do you know what she had under there?" ..."Sick joker lips"
And he's looking so mad, totally cracked me up

Pretty awesome that they're doing this marathon. I'll just leave it up on my second monitor the whole time and be super unproductive.
there's 237 episodes and the press release clearly states that the marathon consists of 234 episodes
They were better in the past. The ones in the recent years like that Broadway episode and the food network one were pretty lame after a few minutes.
I think Randy specifically works much better when he's not the sole focus of the episode. I still lose my shit when that guitar hero episode comes on and he's laying on the couch in his underwear playing Heroin Hero and Stan comes in and turns it off.

The difference between now and then is for me that it wasn't even that important to understand the specific references. The old episodes are still funny, because the topics they adressed were either much broader and general or packed into unique stories/jokes. Not to mention that there was a much better balance between rl/current references and simply random, fun stories.
Nowadays I spend half the episode asking myself whether or not I even understand/know what they try to parody. And other than that, there really isn't anything else to many episodes, because they just take two plots with one running gag each and then just repeat it until the end. The new episodes feel less like a focused comedy and more like fanservice for 16 years olds that wanna hate on the latest summer blockbuster, popular boyband and similarly redundant shit and then talk about how ,,its funny coz its so truee hurrrr'' next day in school.
You also see that they are running out of ideas because they focus way too much on the same characters since several years and their running jokes soon reach Simpsons level of staleness. (Butters is grounded at the end of the ep in some ironic way, NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE)

Not actually that important
Can't wait. Hope there's less celebrities parodying this season, kinda had my fix of that but hey they could always surprise me with something hysterically funny so whatever
Pretty sure those three are indeed skipped over.

i dunno they seem to enjoy the process of doing the show , the way they animate it allows for a lot of flexibility.
yes mecha streisand is on right now

It's complete bullshit that they still can't show them because of religious fears. No one got mad when they originally showed Muhammed when the show wasn't nearly as big in the media. You can't even stream them on NetFlix. It's been what, 4 years now?
You can't stream any of the episodes on Netflix anymore.

When did they stop?
For anyone in the UK like myself, we have about 5 seasons on our Netflix still.

So excited, it's been way too long.
Honestly, I'm still hoping for a Brony episode. And I know it's a long ways off, but I'd love to see some kind of Cartman episode where he thinks Marvel stole the idea of The Coon from in the form of Rocket Raccoon.
Bring on the new season!

Three days away. So excited. I was so let down that there was no South Park half-season in the Spring so it's fantastic we get a full season over the Autumn. The show should bring some warmth to the cold nights coming up. Shouldn't there be an episode preview up around now? Then again Matt and Trey tend to cut it quite close to the wire. I remember in the "Six Days to Air" documentary they submitted the episode something like hours before the deadline. Still though I'm excited to see what their ideas are going to be for this season. I thought last season was a return to form overall. Almost every episode was great. I hope the writing is just as good this time round.
Wednesday can't come soon enough. Thanks for creating the thread OP. I was hoping there would be a thread for this.

About time this show came back on.
Sucks we get a few less episodes this year though.

Earlier this year I think. They jumped ship to Hulu Plus.
