meh there almost needs to almost be 2 threads, one for die hard fans, and one for regular watchers.... i really like a lot of the commentary here like claytons earlier post is pretty insightful.
its just that to someone that has seen episodes like 'fat camp', 'melvins', 'rainforest shmainforest' etc easily 50+ times its just so depressing to watch crap like 'the snuke', or the homeless episode get turned out because you truly know what these guys are capable of (there are obv exceptions here, which seem to vary between ppl. to me easter special stands out in this season).
btw im not trying to be condescending or anything here, the ppl enjoying the new episodes for a laugh probably have a less biased and more accurate overall opinion of how good the new episodes are. its just that the die hards have the emotional investment in the characters and a show that just doesnt exist in the way that it used to.
i dont give a [censored] about 'king of kong'. i dont give a [censored] about 'jesse jackson' or 'bono'. i care about the old stan, kyle, kenny, cartman, randy etc.
perfect example was chris hansen.... he is awesome yes. he had funny lines yes. but he had no [censored] place whatsoever in that last episode about tourettes. catch a predator was just so far removed from that storyline and the way it was forced in was just painful to watch.

I am a die hard fan who has been watching since the show first aired and have the entire series on DvD. You sir, are insane. The show is just as good now as it always has been. This last episode was amazingly funny satire, just like Rainforest Shmainforeset was amazingly funny satire. Also, I have no idea WTF King of Kong is. Yes, there are random bad episodes, like last season's Towlie episode. Then again, the worst South Park episode ever was that stupid Great Expectations episode way back in season 4.
