great episode, love the Cable company bits, god I hate the pseudomonopolies they've set up across my area for cable/Internet.

It looks like one of the animators snuck in "Time Warner Cable" onto the shirt of the cable guy sitting at the desk when their talking to the boys. You can see it in one scene, and then it disappears in another. That was awesome.

Didn't notice it on first watch but sure enough:

Current episode was okay. I liked the first one a lot better. Maybe it's just my current mood.
 
I enjoyed last nights episode but I'd rank it mid tier by South Park standards. I missed the season premier, is there any place I can still watch it?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. Oh man the NSA episode is gold, way better than what we got last night.

I think this show might be dead to me, I haven't enjoyed this season at all.

This weeks was so much better than last weeks. I've realized over the years that episodes which center around cartman are rarely that good. I think the last time one was truly funny was the mel gibson episode... and the very similarly themed Ginger kid episode.

Last weeks was... just not funny. Maybe I didn't get the joke ? To me there just wasn't any jokes. Even at its conclusion the age old hackneyed pedophiles at church gags were barely worth cracking a smile over.

It was to the point that I was worried I'd perhaps outgrown the show finally, it perhaps just wasn't for me anymore.

Than last nights episode ... thankfully proved me wrong. It had all the great hallmarks of a good episode- actual jokes that made me laugh, Randy being featured as the main character and finally- an utterly absurd plotline that doesn't rely so much on current events and instead is just trying to be entertaining. More like this please.
 
Loved the new episode, I don't think I have been disappointed by any episode where Randy plays a major role, seems they are all hilarious. I especially love how he always go into everything with child-like enthusiasm. Hah.
 
I think the first two episodes have been pretty mediocre.

I don't play Minecraft so maybe I missed the joke. Cable companies suck, I get that, but I didn't like the jokes associated with that storyline.

This was pretty good one :D

And very close to home for me. If it wasn't for me pushing my mum to watch some TV shows with me all she would have seen is ID. I can't stand Paula Zahn anymore :lol

So I'm sitting here at outback steakhouse and the table next to me has 3 kids playing minecraft on 2 tablets and a smartphone.none of them older than 6. I'm actually shocked at how popular it's become for little kids and it actually looks decent for mobile.

You know, South Park might be one of the more consistent shows on TV. They really haven't strayed far or that much at all from previous seasons. After that many years, that's an anomaly.

It's because they parody current events. It's easy to never run out of ideas when you're topical down to a week after it happens.

Whereas The Simpsons will always wait 4 years before they get around to making fun of something. Or they come up with really weird ideas, some that they did before.
 
Southern Fired Homicide is a real thing?

So this is talking about actual docu-drama shows and not just crime shows like CSI? I didn't realize there were many of those shows left.

Apparently. I had heard of the other shows, but I honestly thought Southern Fried Homicide was just made up for the episode. I'm honestly flabbergasted it actually exists.

Anyway, have to say this was better than last week's

Loved the second episode. The first was pretty terrible.

EDIT: "Cartman is deeply disturbed by a single person who he sees as a threat to all humanity. He races around the country to put an end to Patient Zero, the ticking time bomb that is Token"
