Well, if there's one thing that's true about South Park, every episode has it's share of fans and critics.
Me, I take a long range view of South Park and rarely pan an episode though I'm quick to praise the really good ones. I respect their imagination, and don't expect all comedy to reach the same crescendo. It's an art, not a science.
Quite true. It hits and misses, but it hits a whole heck of a lot more often than it misses. Of course tonight's episdoe seemed kind of like they were just "mailing it in" to me. Though I have no doubt they had fun making it.
