I'd be surprised if it wasn't the premiere or the second episodes subject.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Does anyone live in an area where local channels still show syndicated reruns? One of the local affiliates here just stopped replaced by The Cleveland Show, blerg. I'm bummed, since I'd watch it almost every night. I just wonder if the Hulu deal has anything to do with it, or if it's just coincidence.

Oh right, a season with an episode as great as sarcastaball could have been underwhelming.

I think Trey and Matt have been on form these last few seasons. South Park is one of the few shows that improved considerably as it went along. My favourite South Park episodes are from the last three or four seasons which is miraculous for a show like this. Every season usually has at least three episodes that has me in fits of laughter. This faith in quality is the reason why I'm always so excited for every new season.
Matt and Trey are talented, gifted comedy geniuses and this shines through in the show.

Are they only doing a single run this year?
Yep. That seems to be the plan from now on.

Matt and Trey have stated that they don't want to be producing South Park forever. Their current agreement with Comedy Central takes the show to Season 20 in 2016 and I think that's when they'll probably call it quits. They have other projects they want to work on. I think the shortened seasons now are a sign that the show will be coming to an end soon.
Hopefully they'll produce some more heavy hitting hilarious episodes before we reach that point.
Yup. I'd be happy with 20 seasons. and thankfully it - more or less - stayed consistently good and relevant compared to the simpsons.

Yes! For The past two days I have been watching SP episodes. The best are still 200-201 imo.
It wasn't officially released by them as someone from 4chan managed to nab the uncensored episode from one of their servers back in January.

Shablagoo!
I'm ready.

This is how I feel about it. I've been watching South Park since the first episode aired, but the past couple seasons haven't done much for me. Bad South Park is still okay, though.

So Sunday is usually when we get the episode preview. Correct?
that's how it's always been in the past. Their site has changed since last season though so maybe they'll announce new episodes differently now.
Meh, it's better for them to not overwork themselves to pump out 14 episodes a year. I'm ok with the decreased episode count, they have been working on the series for over 15 years.
Yup
I don't wanna sound like a queer or nuthin', but I think unicorns are kick ass!

Agreed. I'd be very surprised if South park goes past twenty seasons. Matt and Trey have stated over and over again recently that they want to wind down production of the show and move onto other projects. They love South Park but the show has been going since 1997 and is approaching two active decades now.
Also the means to which they produce South Park (a frantic rush of starting and completing each episode in six days) is clearly very taxing on them. You guys should watch Six Days To Air. Matt shows up at the studio and spends like 15 hours non-stop working on each episode and then does that for almost a week before barely submitting each episode to Comedy Central before the air date. I think ultimately that work process has taken its toll and they'd rather work on projects on a more relaxed schedule.
Plus I'd rather South Park finish up on a creative peak and end gracefully as opposed to being run into the ground.

I kind of want Season 20 to be the last season.
Remember the last episode of
Remember the last episode of
Clerks: The Animated series? Where they don't leave the store and all sorts of chaos is happening outside? Maybe something like that for the series finale?
I could see if South Park was doing 24 episodes a year and it was a constant drain on them and they were burned out from it. But it's such a small amount of episodes I can't see why it wouldn't continue as long as they're alive. It's just two months of the year. You can tell that they enjoy doing them (in the 6 days to air documentary), they have things to say, there are endless things to make fun of. Why would it end?
But in those 6 days they're working almost 24/7 to get an episode done. If you listen to the commentary for the Woodland Critters Christmas episode you can really understand the fatigue these guys have getting the episodes done. Plus they're approaching the 20 year mark and after all that time that would wear down anyone. After going through the brutal schedule of getting Team America finished they wanted to quit the show.
Plus, who wants the show to be driven into the ground like Simpsons and Family Guy?

I hope we get a stick of truth reference episode.
I wouldn't be surprised if they went for intentionally WOAT. It is something that Matt & Trey are capable of. One last joke on the world.

I hope they never cancel south park. They still make a few classic episodes a season.

Guessing it will be about Domestic abuse. Just an offensive name seems too small a target for South Park.
Though, I guess they did do the "fags" episode, which was amazing.
