Is South Park Cancelled?

[MrGFunk]

What?! What?! What?!

Nice.

It could probably do with a fallow year. Family Guy was very improved with some time off.

I couldn't care less if it has.
It's overstayed it's welcome for me. It got stale two seasons ago.
Not as badly needing a cancelling as The Simpsons is, though.

Well as long as Fox likes The Simpsons,they will work their slave monkeys to make it...no matter how dead that horse is.

South Park has always been one of my favourite animations, and I agree that the first seasons were extremely juvenile until they started getting into the Token and the hate crime laws, that's where it became a good show into one of my favourites. The fact they weren't afraid to speak there minds about politics, the justice system, etc.

Even the episodes about Mohammed were amazing and kept me hooked. That irony that years ago they had him on screen with no backlash, part of the title screen, with no backlash, and now, hatred. I've always wanted Kyles speech to be uncensored, but even with it, it added to the humor.

I can understand there boredom though. Over a decade of the same characters, the same voices, the same scenery, the same design, it must get boring. If the show went after this series, I'd be sad to see it go, but I wouldn't blame either creators for it. I can't even imagine how it must be to work on the same show for that long.

Why the heck is not dead yet?


Good grief why won't the shows just die out naturally instead of living on as a shade of what they once were.

It would be better for everyone if some sort of equivalent to term limits were introduced to episodic television. Like: "You get 5 seasons, and then you really need to stop coasting and come up with a new concept."

Wow, I'm really amazed at how many people are saying the first five years of southpark were the best. I enjoyed them when they were on, totally, but compared to where the show has gone they're so rough and juvenile. Hard to watch now. Show got a lot more clever after the first five years. Relied less on the shock value of animated ten year olds swearing, etc... and let's not forget butters coming into the fold.

But to each his own.

For me, personally, the show hit the samey mark around year ten. It found a formula and hasn't really changed from that. It's still a fun show, just hasn't evolved since then.

Actually, I've _never_ really thought South Park was that funny. I just picked a number out of the air. That said, the political commentary/current event's stuff they've been doing recently is IMO even less funny that the already unfunny baseline.

Holy fuck, I'm goddam happy.
The whole show jumped off the cliff of quality the second season 11 was aired.

Yes, I'd like this show to end now, before I become an anti-capitalist misanthrope.

So I'm not the only one who thought South Park started to mysteriously suck after season 10?

That season had so many fantastic episodes; Manbearpig, Mystery of the Urinal Deuce, Tsst, Make Love Not Warcraft and Go God, Go. But after that the show just took a fucking nosedive, and the only good episode since has been Awesome Boobage.

If they want to cancel it; by all means... Better to kill it now than to let it blood out even more.

its still better then the simpsons or family guy. if southpark is a shade, then they are full blown undead zombies...

I love south park really do but even I think it should bow out gracefully, maybe another movie and bow out

 

[emeraldrafael]

Comedy Central, cancelling one of its hugest money making properties, yeah, Sure/sarcasm.

No. I think they did something like this before (not this exactly) but something where they ended on a cliff hanger and it seemed the show was over.

I just watched the episode where they talk about tween music sounding like shit, and at the very end of the episode they do a bit where they make it sound like that might have been the last episode of South Park. Did Trey Parker and Matt Stone say anything about this being the final season of South Park or did I miss something?

Oh ffs, your like the 6th person today to have whined about that episode...

No its not the end. Yes it is a two parter. Yes everything will be back to normal afterwards. I mean seriously, why does everyone suddenly think that every South Park episode is canon, i mean the main characters die/get arrested in most of them and yet always come back.

The level of emotional insecurity amongst South Park viewers is apprently surprisingly high.

I wasn't whining that the episode was bad...I was just wondering if they were gonna cancel.

Although after I thought about it a little it does seem like it will just be a two part episode.
