Well in a few days, the return of a popular animated series finally arrives!
I'm talking of course about the spoiled brat brother of The Simpsons, South Park!

I wouldn't say I'd been a fan of the show since the onset, but it's been around awhile, and whenever you seem to get into it, it's at a different point in the evolution of the show itself.
If you started way at the beginning, you would see a crude animated show made using cutout animation, using limited computer technology, and based on subject appeal that some shows may not dared to have touched in the medium. As time goes along, you see the technology improve, along with character design. Subjects became more topical of their time period, based on political issues, topical circumstances, leading news, and other things that had this show commenting with it's humor and satire.
The show original had one-off episodes with very little connecting them (aside from some specials down the road). But lately it has grown to linking shows together, I'm not sure how I feel about that, but hey, the show's still great, and I'm looking forward to what they do next.

Featuring the four boys, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny, we see the events around their lives (briefly in the lives of a large cast of secondary characters) and around the town of South Park. But yep, this ain't the Simpsons. There's a reason why it's an adult sitcom after all.
The show deals with surreal humor, sometimes dark, ranging from death and relationships and subject matter that's considered risky and highly debatable in the public eye.
The first couple seasons were based on establishing humor and some shock factor, using it's quirky uniqueness to charm audiences. Then we started getting into more touch subjects, basing from race and relationship issues, to religion and outlooks on issues like fads (such as a Pokemon parody) and perceptions from kids to adults.
Later on the show gets more topical of it's time. This is in part due to the amazing time frame that the creators and their staff seem to work from (indicated by a documentary featuring the development of one of their episodes). They manage to pump out their episodes not in a grouping like most shows...but actually week-by-week. Not only does this keep the crew on their toes, but it also keeps their episode on topic of the events they wish to make the episode about. It could be based on the popularity of a show or movie, actual wars between gaming consoles, to wondering how ironic comedy awards are. I think this is one of the differences that set the show apart from others. being able to churn out something in just a week and make it topical is just amazing.

The show is funny in more ways than one. If you're not laughing at the simple humor, you will at the satire of a topic you yourself may be wondering about.
I'll be looking forward to it's 20th season starting up soon, and also to it's new game coming out later in the year.

To celebrate, I dived in with Randall to a South Park simulation...unfortunately Doru hopped in before I could stop it....I'm pretty sure we should get him out...
Though I think Randall's somehow aware that the program couldn't compute his proportions to "South-Park Style" and...well...yeeeeaaaahhhh...I think that's some blind fury about to wake up...

OH MY SKIES! HE KILLED KENNY!

...oh no...wait...just punched him flat out for some mumbled comment. We're good people! We're good...
