This was the first episode that I watched the whole thing, it was fabulous!
I really liked it. I live 12 miles from SF and never go there...when the character made his little speech about "vowing never to set foot in SF..." I became a big fan.
I will start watching this show now.

The character, Eric Cartman, is never to be trusted. You wouldn't know a lot of the backstory, but he constantly rips on Kyle for being Jewish. Butters wasn't quite filling the role to Eric's satisfaction. Cartman's altruism in rescuing Kyle and his family was only because he needed Kyle to fill the void in his life, having a jew to rip on.

FWIW, Eric's hesitancy in entering San Francisco is because he has a pathological hatred/fear of hippies.
