Hello everyone,
I'd like to add my own two cents about this Season of South Park. This is where the show started to lose some of it's steam. Don't get me wrong... This season has a lot great episodes in it, (Like "Towelie," and "Cripple Fight," and "Super Best Friends "to name a few. I love re-watching those episodes still, years later after first seeing them) but somehow, this season is where the show started to shake of it's quirky and obscure presentation. It somehow shifted from being about a bunch of hicks in a small town encountering some really bizarre things to more of a realistic story telling effort in each episode. (If you are familiar with the first couple of seasons you will know what I mean.) For example, remember all the early seasons that dealt with genetic engineering, aliens, obscure references to old sitcoms, Mecha-Streisand, underpants gnomes, tons of potty mouth, etc? Now in this season you are getting some great episodes mixed in with some things that are still pretty funny, but not anything super hilarious. Examples of decent but not great episodes, "Proper Condom Use," "Here Comes the Neighborhood," etc. This season was a mixed bag overall, with some episodes being pretty cool to watch, while others tried very hard to be taken seriously while telling a story. If you remember, the first couple of seasons had plots to them, but seriously nothing this in depth.
Still it's better than when South Park stuped to new lows by making every new episode about what was going on in the news that week or some other current event. Those episodes were just horrible. Seeing them a few years after they were released, and that current event or whatever has drifted to the back of your mind, all of them aren't that bad, (SOME ARE STILL BAD) but still could be better. If anyone is wondering when this show went COMPLETELY BAD, in my opinion, this show jumped the shark for me in 2006 with Season 10. (The only episode on that season I liked was "Make Love, Not Warcraft.") I didn't even watch most of those episodes. I was just thinking,"Please spare my memories of this AWESOME show, I used to love, and just take it off the air if you are running out of ideas!" SOME of the new episodes are getting slightly better though... Overall, South Park Season 5 should be anyone's collection. As well as, seasons 1-9. Thanks for reading!
