LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) The boys of "South Park" will be coming to a broadcast station near you -- 85 percent of you, anyway -- next year. The boundary-breaking Comedy Central cartoon about potty-mouthed kids and their sleepy Colorado town will debut in syndication in fall 2005 in about 85 percent of the country, according to the Hollywood trade papers.
Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker struck a syndication deal last year with Debmar Studios, which sold the show in most of the nation's biggest markets. Debmar recently entered a partnership with Tribune Entertainment (whose parent, Tribune Co., also owns Zap2it.com) to clear "South Park" in other areas.
"South Park" debuted on Comedy Central in August 1997 and is now well past the 100-episode benchmark for syndication. Local outlets controlled by a number of the largest station-group, owners, including Tribune, Sinclair, Viacom, Cox and Scripps-Howard, will carry the show. There's no word on whether, or how, the profanity-laced show will have to be edited to conform to the tighter standards of broadcast TV. It's probably a safe bet, though, that the episode in which "s***" is uttered 162 times won't be in the regular rotation for the broadcast stations.
"They took our jerbs!!!"
This will be so cool!
..let's start a pool ,when he'll start/post!..9:30 am DST "The END is near..The END..." :))
that would make.
Just trot out the turkey with four asses.
Actually, if memory serves, after 10pm or is it 11pm, the profanity and lewdness limits of the FCC are relaxed.. they did this years ago at behest of broadcasters complainign they could not compete with the lewder competition on Cable TV.
Should be interesting.
Shhhhhhh! You silly goose.
Big Gay Al might be lurking about. You don't want to talk about anything wiht four asses if he is around.
They're gonna broadcast it over the air? After editing it'll only be 10 minutes long! ;)
But the s*** episode is a good one, as it teaches us the dangers of over-using the Words of Curse...
Mana-mana-mana-mana-mana! Dakka-dakka-dakka-dakka!
Soooo much better than watching that liberal M*A*S*H bullshit for the hundredth time, though.
MASH was OK for comedy relief...and Jamie Farr is a Republican...its OK as long as I can ignore Alan Alda's holier-than-though liberal antiwar crap...
Yeah, but I know all the episodes now, ya know?
