Season 20 Review: South Park never takes the easy route nor does it ever take it easy on anyone. For that, it’s become a voice worth hearing every year, and one we’ll be eager to engage with throughout Season 20. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Has as much nerve as "The Simpsons" when it burst on the scene. [11 Aug 1997]

Season 1 Review: Crude in execution, harsh by design, South Park is deliciously deranged. Don't bite unless you have a taste for the tasteless. [13 Aug 1997]

Season 1 Review: Even at its meanest, "South Park" is seldom mean-spirited, and it's often outrageously funny. [13 Aug 1997]

Season 1 Review: Blatantly designed to tickle the funny bones of teenage boys and those who think like them, the show delivers plenty of lowbrow laughs, at the same time indulging in excesses seemingly calculated to shock the sensibilities of TV watchdogs. [13 Aug 1997]

Season 1 Review: Uneven ... The series often seems more crude than irreverent, and its satirical targets too familiar and easy to hit. ... However uneven it is now, "South Park" seems to have a future. [17 Aug 1997]

Season 1 Review: It's dismissible juvenilia ... a collection of poorly paced, lowest-common-denominator setups that are not even sophomorically funny or scatologically goofy. [13 Aug 1997]

still manages to be amazing after 20 seasons, the only time the show had a major dip in quality was seasons 19-21, but 22 pulled it back up

This animated sitcom can pull off the best political and social satire than any other show on the planet in the most hilarious way possible. South Park can make fun of anything and every taboo without hesitation and make you bust a gut laughing. Definitely, one of my favorites.

Best series ever. That series make me believe there still is freedom of speech and jokes, even in this crazy world we live nowadays.

Who doesn’t love South Park? Other than the easily offended of course. Clever, witty, unbiased, a staple of true satire. While the recent seasons aren’t as good as the shows prime years, it is still by and far the most humorous and intriguing adult cartoon on air.

South Park is without a doubt the best tv show I have ever seen which isn’t saying much because I’m more of a game and movie guy so instead of giving an overall opinion of the show I’m going to split it into sections by their seasons which will go 1-4 5-10 11-15 16-18 -19-22 as the time I’mSouth Park is without a doubt the best tv show I have ever seen which isn’t saying much because I’m more of a game and movie guy so instead of giving an overall opinion of the show I’m going to split it into sections by their seasons which will go 1-4 5-10 11-15 16-18 -19-22 as the time I’m writing this so let’s start on season 1-4. The first 3 seasons have aged pretty badly from outdated jokes and animation and pretty forgettable if I do say so myself but the forth season on the other hand is really good it was made after the movie came out so it’s got way better animation and writing and some of my favorite episodes are in this season but things really get started in the next couple of seasons. The next seasons are widely agreed to be the golden age of South Park which I strongly disagree with people will use the point of the first episode of the 5th season Scott Terminin Must Die which is the most overrated episode in the series I know it was the first horrible thing Eric Cartman has ever done but in later seasons he has done so much worse after that episode it’s standard stuff that’s all I have to say for this section there were a lot of great episodes but the show was a roller coaster of quality at this point. The next section season 11-15 is what I consider the first really good seasons of the show such as the imagination land trilogy and this section in my opinion is when South Park was the most unpredictable which is why I love it so much were not at the golden age yet but were near. Now seasons 16-18 is the golden age of South Park I love so many of the episodes in these seasons like the hobbit or the cissy just to name 2 these are episodes that are the balance of dark comedy and combining it with events around the world at that time which later seasons fail to balance. Now it’s time to talk the death of South Park which is season 19 so many problems I have with this season such as the continued story South Park is not that kind of show and it’s not even funny anymore and it’s not even the focus characters going on a adventure to solve something it’s just them **** about stuff now season 20 was better than 19 but was still really bad for one they still have the continued storyline which I hate and now it doesn’t even focus on the boys anymore it just sort of feels like “ This week in the news” and it doesn’t work now this season does have a better story but it’s not a South Park story. So after two messes of seasons season 21 drops the continued storyline and goes back to formula which I loved but now instead of being bad it’s just mediocre which in my opinion is worse than bad the first two episodes are pretty good but then it’s just a list of bad to mediocre episodes. Season 22 is a worse season 21 for the longest time I forgot it existed and I forget every episode in it so I can’t give a opinion just forgettable. Now the show is rumored to end after its 23rd season which I’m ok with I rather just end it now then keep going and let it get worse I want the final season to be good but I know it won’t be. So final thoughts and recommendations if your looking for a good laugh I recommend season 11-18 you can watch earlier seasons if you want but avoid the later seasons if possible. Even though the later seasons are bad I’m going to give the show a solid 9/10… Expand

The show became quite boring after season 18, after changing from a single episode storyline to a whole season....
Not to mention Tegridy, which really killed the show for me...
Loved SP up until that point...
