It's not a surprize to me, South Park, an FR Favorite, is also made in Korea..(I think :)

Nope...made here...that's why there are less new episodes!

Well, at least they do good work. Now, if we could get Lisa to be less PC.....

No kidding! Lisa Simpson's holier-than-thou, goody-two-shoes attitude makes me want to retch sometimes.

Were she my kid, she'd get paddled and sent to her room with no supper for trying to shame me out of my schemes! LOL

Its not that Lisa is PC, its that she isn't a funny character. She is okay as a supporting character but when she takes center stage the episode is usually boring.

Their really is no reason why they couldn't have a funny Lisa based episode, but they generally aren't very good.

Actually, Trey and Matt are able to crank out a complete episode of South Park in a matter of days. It's all done on computers.

Remember the episode where Cartman played Bugs Bunny to Osama bin Laden's Elmer Fudd? That was just a couple weeks after 9-11.

They can go into a recording booth, and have the whole thing recorded in very short order, such is their talent.

It used to be, but in the last couple of years the show hasn't balanced Lisa liberalism at all.

Last years "She used to be my girl"

"Lisa, what are you doing in there?"

Lisa (panicked) "Praying to Buddha, Jesus, Spongedbob! This is no time to be picky"

Well? OK. ..then there was the South Park "Elian/Burn 'em Reno" episode around Easter in 2000.

If you watch certain cartoons who scanned properly you can see the screw-ups.

for example; backwards books (korean lang is read in the opposite direction)

Not this season. for some reason this years episodes are 100% anti-Bush, anticonservative, and even anti-Christian.

"Amen! The Lisa episodes always stink."

Yeah....but the one where she morphed into Hillary was a keeper.........

Bet the ashtrays were flying fast and furious that night.

Yes, there are fewer South Park episodes, but their work is also a lot more timely. How else can you have a cartoon of Janet Reno dressed as the Easter Bunny, stealing 5 Romanian orphans just days after Elian got snatched?
