It's already renewed for two more seasonsBertramCooper said:Two shitty eps to start the season. They're obviously burnt out from doing The Book of Mormon.
I'll be shocked if they renew their contract with Comedy Central this year. I think we're looking at the very last season of South Park. I guess that would put December 2011 as the end date.
Pelydr said:After the first two episodes its pretty damn clear that they are mailing it in. Damn, I know they are libertarians so they love money, but why do the keep making the show when its pretty clear the hate doing it?
teh_pwn said:What? They've constantly said that they don't care if people download their show and that they have enough money (but that comedy central does care).
They do like doing the show, but only during certain times. Parker and Stone have a long history of making stuff in waves of quality. There's interviews of them doing Team America and other movies and they just burn out.
Whenever they rest up and they have something they really want to cover there will be good episodes. Generally it's 2-4 great episodes per season, and an equal number of duds. They just did Book of Mormon so I imagine they are burnt out.
Kreed said:This is what I'm waiting for. Ever since they started doing these "half seasons" there have always been these "weak episodes" mixed in with average and great ones. I remember GAF having a similar reaction during the season where Britney Spears lost part of her head (the worst episode IMO). I figure by episode four things will pick up, but if they don't then the people saying Matt and Trey have "lost it" will have a fair argument.
The Spears episode is def one of the worst ones but it in no way comes close to how bad the human centipad episode was... oh god.Dilly said:Totally forgot about that episode, it was unwatchable.
Hmm, I missed that.CassSept said:It's already renewed for two more seasons
But yeah well, I agree they feel burnt out at the moment. Episode was low tier at most, maybe second half of the season will be at least a bit better after they recover from The Book of Mormon.

NEW YORK, May 9, 2011 The Prince of Canada is about to take a princess in an all-new episode of "South Park" titled "Royal Pudding," premiering on Wednesday, May 11 at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central.
It is a joyous time for all Canadians as the royal wedding commences. But just as the prince and princess are about to be joined for all eternity, the princess is abducted! All Canadians are called upon to help save the princess. Ike answers the call to arms.

Ike's totally going to become Prince of Canada.
Agreed. I think South Park is really starting to deteriorate with this season. :'(Parallax said:ugh. another canada episode? thats not boding well for me.

I guess you're right. It's not that I want it to fail it's just these two episodes have failed tremendously for me so I can't really feel any pseudo-optimism for the season. I hope episode 3 catches me off-guard with superior quality.ReconYoda said:Your entitled to your opinion but i think two episodes in is a bit premature to be making that statement.
DrForester said:Last one was Canada On Strike wasn't it? And that was season 12. And it was excellent.
Parallax said:true. but the others(ikes parents, and everything else with terrence and philip)were pretty fucking awful.
Parallax said:ugh. another canada episode? thats not boding well for me.
I'm not your buddy, guy!whitehawk said:Yeah buddy, what's wrong with Canadian episodes?
There are always some rotten eggs in each season. Hopefully, it'll get better.Dr Eggman said:Agreed. I think South Park is really starting to deteriorate with this season. :'(
