Cartman in SOUTH PARK - Season 16 - "Jewpacabra" | ©2012 Comedy Central

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: April 4, 2012 It figures SOUTH PARK would eventually deliver a clunker at some point during Season 16 and that honor goes to the ambitious, promising, but ultimately flat “Jewpacabra.” This will be known as the episode where Cartman finally becomes a Jew and understands Kyle’s pain, but a promising premise ultimately gets undermined by a lack of focus. In what starts off as another way for Cartman to ruin a holiday (namely Passover and Easter), Cartman invents the legend of the “Jewpacabra.” It’s under the […]Read On »

Cartman, Butters, Kenny and their classmates in SOUTH PARK - Season 16 - "Faith Hilling" | ©2012 Comedy Central

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: March 29, 2012 Yes, it’s too early in the Season 16 run of SOUTH PARK, but I have to admit, it’s going to be hard for creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to top the episode “Faith Hilling.” I’ll go on record as saying this could very well be the best episode of the new season, or at least may end the funniest. It’s jam packed with tons of satirical targets, but deals primarily with how fast memes spread in society since the advent of the […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 16 – “Cash For Gold”

Stan and his grandpa in SOUTH PARK - Season 16 - "Cash For Gold" | ©2012 Comedy Central

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: March 22, 2012 One of the most ground-breaking moments in SOUTH PARK history came last season when the mid-season finale “You’re Getting Old” tackled some serious issues while still bathed in the show’s filthy potty humor. It was an amazing episode – not only touching, but also grasping at something a little deeper. The show has always been about pushing boundaries and occasional political commentary, but there was a rawness to that episode that polarized fans. Those that got it though, appreciated that, in some ways, […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 16 – “Reverse Cowgirl” – Season Premiere

Clyde's mom falls in a toilet in SOUTH PARK - Season 16 - "Reverse Cowgirl" | ©2012 Comedy Central

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: March 15, 2012 One of the thrills of watching SOUTH PARK, is not knowing where the show is heading and what topical subjects it’s going to tackle. As the series heads into its 16th season (yes, 16th!!!), the series still has its mojo intact with this very funny episode dubbed “Reverse Cowgirl.” It starts off with the boys playing with their friend Clyde when his mom has a cow that he’s left the toilet seat up again. Suffice to say, she’s a monster about it, but […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “The Poor Kid”

Kenny's parents get arrested for being White Trash on SOUTH PARK - Season 15 - "The Poor Kid" | ©2011 Comedy Central

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: November 16, 2011 Part of being a SOUTH PARK fan is loving it one week and hating it the next. With “The Poor Kid”, the episode lands somewhere in the middle. There are a few laughs, a couple clever sight gags, but it’s clear the end of the season has worn down creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and the result is not a very satisfying episode. “The Poor Kid” focuses on Kenny and his siblings being sent to a foster home after his parents are […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “Funnybot”

Jimmy in SOUTH PARK - Season 15 - "Funnybot" | ©2011 Comedy Central

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: May 4, 2011 Every once and awhile, SOUTH PARK will tackle a topic that just doesn’t quite hit the mark and “Funnybot” is one of them. When the Jimmy and the special education class put on the 1st Annual Comedy Awards, trouble erupts when Germany is named the least funny people. They get so incensed, they build a robot that tells vulgar jokes to prove the world wrong. Of course, the robot is terrible, but everyone loves him anyway, until it decides the biggest joke on […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “HUMANCENTiPAD” – Season Premiere

SOUTH PARK - Season 15 - "HUMANCENTiPAD" | ©2011 Comedy Central

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: April 27, 2011 It’s impossible to know where SOUTH PARK creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are going to go next. Each half season can go from brilliant to uninspired within a week’s time, but the joy of the show is the surprise and anticipation of what they’re going to skewer and spoof next. With their Season 15 premiere (yes, Season 15), they hijack the premise from the cult horror movie THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE and graft it on to the current technological innovations that Steve Jobs […]Read On »
