Used to love south park but now i can't help but think its just stupid and immature now. And most of all its not nearly as funny anymore. I love Family Guy, The Simpsons alot of immature TV tbh. But the story, repeative sound effects and music...

I think nostalgia clouds your judgment. Your mind is selectively remembering the good episodes from past seasons and ignoring the bad ones.

South Park has always been immature, I liked it when I was younger but I've grown out of it now. It was better when they weren't ripping off popular trends.

No. It's pretty terrible. The show should have ended years ago.

It's not trash, but it's not what it used to be. Now Futurama, that's become trash.

South Park was never that great to begin with. It had a couple of great episodes, but most of them I don't really care for at all.

It still has it's funny moments and good episodes, but it's no where near where it used to be. It's like the simpsons. The first five or six seasons were gold, then after that they were still great, but they just weren't as great. Then the show gradually died.... Sadly, I can only see south park only going downhill from here on :/

It's still good, though not nearly as good as it was. It definitely hasn't hit rock bottom like family guy though.

Give me any episode of any season, and I probably couldn't last through 10 minutes of any episode.

I'm surprised it made it past 3 seasons to be honest but Comedy Central/Viacom love to keep churn shows out. Look at what happened with Chappelle he pretty much went insanse.

The latest episode was pretty good. It gave me hope for the second half of the season.

TBH I still like it, I don't really watch it often, in fact I rarley watch TV on the TV anymore. But when i do......

I typically check out comedy central and watch some Stand-Up, South Park, Futurama, etc.

I normally just watch shows on the interwebs now like Dexter/House/etc.

Stopped watching it after the first season. Although I did see the "popular" episodes like "Make love not Warcraft" and the "Gayfish" but other than that, I think the show just sucks now.

That episode gave me the impression that the show would be ending soon or making a radical change. The scene where they're saying "It's the same **** and every week it resets and gets more riduculous." I felt the writers were referring to the show itself, and how they too are growing tired of it and it's perhaps time to move on. Did anyone else get that vibe? I thought the episode was welcome change from their usual "Pick current events and trends and satirically bash it mercilessly the entire show." Sure the show has always been satirical, but their approach in recent years has just been way too reliant on those ideas, whilst older shows relied some on actual character and plot development and the satire was thrown in along the way.

I'm glad it's going this way, it had a good run, but it's really past it's prime now.

I think out of all the popular adult cartoons out (Family Guy, South Park, Simpsons, etc.), South Park is the most politically relevant which, to me, makes it a good show still. Family Guy is funny but lacks any real depth. There are short one-liners that are great but overall I just don't really see much to it. The Simpsons is still awesome but it's getting pretty old now. That's just my opinion though...which doesn't go far in these forums :P

No it was a great show. It wasn't because the generation that it targeted found it funny soley because of our immature thoughts; it was smart humor. It made a lot of sense when it aired because it tackled a lot of issues that we as people talked about, or watched on the news. It was relevent, relatable, and most important, had all of us laughing out loud.

At the moment, the show sucks. It continued down the same path satarizing anything it could, yet along the way, the smart humor left. South Park always had potty humor, yet to back that up, it had a way of conveying an underlining message that most people could agree with, if not understand completely. Over time you would learn to enjoy the narcissistic gags that come along with watching 4 boys become entangled in a global agenda, yet that very same precedent of a story is the reason why the show is flatlining.

The creators have run out of ideas. They're basically rehashing the same old concepts, throwing it in a slightly different decorated room, and calling it a new episode. That last episode's title was an ego-inflated, /facepalm, ironic twist of words: "You're getting old."

Please.

I thought that too, but I saw Matt and Trey being interviewed by Jon Stewart and they said that they still love making South Park, and that people were overreacting to the episode. I think one reason why season 15 has been so s***ty so far is because Matt and Trey were so busy with The Book of Mormon.

no question it is. It peaked during the 10th infamous season. After that, it went way down hill. Nothing about "nostalgia" or anything like that. It has honestly gotten worse.
