i can't believe season 11 is about to start and it sounds like it'll be a good one From the Comedy Central Press Release: The "N" Word epidemic reaches "South Park" in the 11th season premiere on Wednesday, March 7 at 10:00 P.M. on Comedy Central New cases of people using the “N” word are on the rise in an all new “South Park” entitled, “With Apologies to Jesse Jackson,” premiering on Wednesday, March 7 at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central. While the citizens of “South Park” must contend with the widespread use of the racial slur, Cartman fights a midget.
dear god 11th season? catching up on Simpsons anyways, their first episode for every season is always a good one, won't miss this one
Here's an interview the creators did with Entertainment Weekly on the upcoming season: http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2007/03/a_controversial.html The PopWatch Interview: Controversy on 'South Park,' what-what-what?!? Mar 2, 2007, 11:46 AM | by Mandi Bierly South Park returns March 7 for an 11th season on Comedy Central, and though we don't need to tell you that creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone still deliver after all these years, the fact that EW has dubbed their premiere our "Must Watch of the Week" — without actually knowing what it's about — does kinda say it. What speaks even louder: Neither the duo nor the network will be revealing the plot of the episode before it debuts, period. "If it got out what it was," Parker says, "someone would try to stop us from doing it before it got on the air." Impending controversy? Hooray! Here's what they did tell us during our recent chat: - They've got so many good ideas, it's hard to pick what the first one should be. Seriously, Stone said, "Please write that we've got so many good ideas, it's hard to pick what the first one should be." And apparently, he's not joking. As of Monday, the duo was still deciding which of two top-secret ideas should air first. (Yes, that means at least one other episode this season will be making "someone" pissy.) Parker credits their wealth of story lines to a particularly fruitful February writers' retreat in "geriatric" Palm Springs, where distractions were limited. "Yeah," Stone says, "we got to go places where it's not that fun to be." - Starting this season, episodes will be available uncensored on iTunes. Stone: "Oh, that's something that we can talk about." EW: "That's cool, but can you tell us anything about the premiere?" Parker: "Honestly, when you see it, you're gonna be like, 'I see why they couldn't tell me.' Unless, we end up not going with that one because it doesn't work, and we go with something else." [Laughter] Stone: "You suck so bad." - Norman Lear officiated Parker's Jan. 2006 wedding in Hawaii. Parker: "Yeah, it was pretty great. Like, I couldn't imagine how else I would get married. I wasn't going to have some Catholic priest come down. And it just came out. I told Norman I was getting married, and he was like, 'Oh, well, I'm ordained. I can marry you.' He had married like four other couples or something like that. My wife didn't know who he was, so it was fine with her. She's Japanese, so it was basically a Shinto-slash-Norman Lear wedding. It was nice and simple and short and intimate." EW: "Did you ever think you'd be doing an interview about your wedding?" Parker: "No. No." EW: "This is what happens, gentlemen, when you won't tell me a plot of a single episode." [Laughter. Silence] Stone: "You wanna tell her about 24?" - One of the first seven episodes will be a parody of 24. "Basically, we've spent the last month watching like three or four episodes a day, studying what they do," Parker says. "We're fans of the show, and we're really impressed with the writing, but as soon as you have Cartman saying the same stuff, it's pretty damn funny." - They're not planning on touching the Anna Nicole Smith media frenzy. For now. Parker: "It's not to say it's not gonna end up in week 4 or 5, but so far, we just don't really have a take on it. Like things have happened in this off season that we really did get worked up about, and the Anna Nicole thing is like, we really just don't care." EW: "So what worked you up?" Parker: "Oh, you'll see." [Laughter] "Oh boy, you'll see."
It's one season split into 2 halves. The first run will be about 7 episodes, then after the summer break, they'll have about 7 more in the fall.
They should maybe just work on an hour long special per year or something. Every "season" they produce a couple of funny shows, while the rest is just garbage.
well when the Simpsons stop in a few years, I think everybody's contract is good till the 20th season, who knows after that, South Park may still be going. Plus I think they do more than one season a year, because it doesnt seem like they have 30+ episodes a season.
Well, the first season was either in 1997 or 1998 (I think the former), so they've had to do more than one season in a calendar year somewhere along the way.
I'm just surprised there's a South Park thread without a fanboy post heralding Matt Stone and Trey Parker as "geniuses"..
And South Park keeps getting better and better...whereas the Simpsons has been virtually dead to me since about year 9.
I really liked the older episodes more. I dont like when they keep bringing current events into the episodes. They are getting too preechy
