I honestly haven't watched TV besides wrestling for about 2 months. I didn't even know it was coming back, but sort of figured since it's around this time they start up again.

As far as I'm concerned, last season was a major disapointment. I think I liked maybe 3 episodes overall, and while it's still consistant as a whole, they're treading very close to Simpsons territory. I really think in order for them to continue to be cutting edge, they need to stay with current events stuff, even though I know a lot of people don't like it that much. Personally, I do and think episodes like the 2008 election was a major cop out and this last season had barely anything current at all. You can only put the characters through so much nonsense before it wears thin, and Cartman and Butters have been wearing thin for the last 3 years. Providing current event topics allow for the show to take the stress off coming up with crap for characters to do and offers a true insight to what is going on in the world. I know I'm in the minority here, but I really hope season 14 doesn't repeat what we got last year.

"The Ring" -started off promising, but I would've changed a few things, I really didn't need Mickey Mouse in there

"The Coon" - had it's moments but not memorable or that funny

"Margaritaville" - pretty decent...great ending

"Eat, Pray, Queef" -ugh

"Fishsticks" -great episode, no complaints

"Pinewood Derby" -one of the worst and stupidest episodes ever

"Fatbeard" -decent for what it was

"Dead Celebrities" -not the way they should've kicked off the new episodes

"Butters' Bottom Bitch" -outside of the cop, I didn't like this at all, Butters as a pimp was about as funny as a toddler swearing

"W.T.F." -being a wrestling fan, I just can't overlook their misconception of several things

"Whale Whores" -alright, nothing special

"The F Word" -great episode, no complaints

"Dances with Smurfs" -ugh...Cartman just wears thin at times

"Pee" - left me with a "that's it?" feeling towards the entire season


Believe me, I watch every episode at least 3 times. Last season was the weakest by far. And I know that's an unpopular opinion, or at least it was when I was posting about it before but while Cartman and Butters are two of my favorite characters, they are way too exposed, especially Butters who is constantly outshining the 4 main boys, and yes I know Kenny really shouldn't count, but I still feel as long as he's around, they should maybe throw him a bone once or twice, like the Heavy Metal parody, that was genius yet not topical. I can't recall how many Butters episodes there were last season, but I know he kept constantly coming up. Again I can't stress enough the idea that they can do more with the 4 regular boys, possibly even less with Cartman since he's basically done everything there is to do besides murder, unless you count the 1776 flashback, which I don't. Again, it wears thin when it's all about "what crazy stuff Cartman will do this week that will piss Kyle off?". And they have laid off that a bunch, but just throw the story over to Butters.

Again, just my opinion.

I'm not bitching for no reason. Like I said, if they spread shit out more, it would be better in the long run for however long they continue the show. The last thing I want to see from South Park, is for it to turn into the Simpsons. When 3/4's of the episodes are dedicated to 2 characters, which the formula is almost always the same, Cartman almost always gets foiled and Butters never really loses his innocence. And believe me, I can handle satire, the wrestling episode would've been better fit if they used it 5 years ago.

I'm not saying it will happen, but it very well can. This is still my favorite show on TV, and I always have high expectations for it.

Saw this ad, thought it was pretty good.

To be honest my anger has less to do with the episode itself than the fact they targeted that kid after the fact. Fucking with celebrities is one thing, but fucking with a kid is not acceptable to me. That kids life is ruined.

If you put yourself out there to be viewed, expect people to criticize, ridicule or make fun of you. That's any form of video that's uploaded to Youtube.
