South park has been a favorite of mine for years. And its amazing how current they are.

The Elian Gonzales situation with Janet Reno episode aired the day aftger it happened. ITs uncanny how quickly they were able to get that episode on TV.

Because people have short memories.

South park has been a favorite of mine for years. And its amazing how current they are.

They had a documentary once that showed them in production. They were literally running the latest episode down to the station with minutes to spare. They said that almost every week they were in danger of missing the deadline to get the episode turned in.

Not quite that fast, but close. South Park aired on Wednesdays, and the Elian Gonzales thing happened on the weekend. So it was about four days. Which is still remarkably current for an animation program. They do all their production in-house, unlike many programs that outsource the animation, so their time to produce an episode is days rather than months.

That said, they did slip a bearded Saddam Hussein into one episode, literally the day after he was caught in his spider hole.
