South Park (Season 18) 720p - (2014 Lang: English)

Once A Great Show, Sad How Bad Its Gotten!

South park has just been on the air way too long and they've run out of ideas and talent. I remember fondly such episodes as "Cancelled", "Goobacks", "imaginationland", and the zany, ridiculous original episodes that earned them the catchphrases and cadences they would eventually just repeat throwing in obscure insulting pop culture references and basically what amounts to stupid cartoon hazing. They took the fact that their audiences applauded such episodes as the one they parodied jersey shore to mean that this was somehow their niche as "cultural ambassadors" constantly telling people how to feel on pop culture issues, and their show lost its depth and diversity and became a breeding ground for just plain horribleness, the worst of which, and damn near unwatchable is the episode "i never should have gone ziplining". But i can't say i'm not without my fond memories of what south park used to be.

I do have a theory as to what led to this, as we all know Trey Parker and Matt Stone have not been with South Park for a long time, leaving South Park in the hands of writers who tried first to use their own original ideas, but would later try to perfect the recipe for success used by their predecessors and ultimately fail miserably. There's also a certain pessimism that comes with their own particular brand of parody, and this is even recognized by the writers later in such episodes as "raising the bar" and "you're getting old", where the entire premise of the episodes is basically a sociopolitical statement about their own experiences and the lengths they've stooped to to try and market content. I get it, its better than the rest of their recent episodes and i think its very big of them to admit that but its not necessarily what defines good television and if they're going to keep it on the air the least they could do is bring back good plot and original, 3 dimensional characters.

So basically the verdict is, watch this show, but do not watch anything after season 13, and you can preserve in your mind a worthwhile show that would be probably more towards 8.5-9 stars. I'm crossing my fingers and still watching in case they haven't jumped the shark for good, but its gotten pretty bad, worse than lost final season plothole bad, so i'm not expecting much unless Trey and Matt get more involved.

This is one of the wittiest television series. Characters are perfect. Voice for characters is so nice that it could not have been better. Eric Cartman bring totally unimaginable, humorous ideas. Butters, Stan, Kenny, Iyke all help bringing up taste to stories. I just love how they make fun of famous celebrities, TV series, movies etc. People might have issues with some of the stories and language used throughout, but if you like comedy with satire and some adult references you would enjoy this series.

I liked the episode based on Warcraft game(season 10,episode 8), if you are going to start watching it you can start with this episode.

Big applause for Trey Parker and Matt Stone the creators of South Park. They also have voiced many characters in the series.

Best !!! TV series I have ever seen! This show has covered every issue about humanity!
