13 Days to Air

Also wonder if it's a short season, usually they've only been 10 episodes the last decade or so. Maybe they're trying to stretch it out because from what I've heard, ratings have been very high
-
the contract they just signed is for 50 episodes in 5 years.
-
This one will be back to 10 episodes (it was 6 episodes + 2 specials in the previous years).

Good. Someone has to wrench back control of the Overton Window.
-
Ironic that they're a huge part of the overton window shifting as far right as it did post gamer gate.
-
Not just post gamer gate. Their rampant mocking of anything "liberal" has enabled a ton of brainless chuds over the years to think they're aligned with the social dogma. I constantly heard conservative idiots, most of whom didn't even like South Park for their mocking of Christians, suddenly find the Prius and LA mocking hilarious among many other things.
South Park's psychotic need to mock everything makes them a pretty frustrating influence on the Overton Window. All they really succeed at doing is normalize the mocking of charicatures of the "other side", which hurts intelligent discourse in general.

How so?

Episodes 1 and 2 were OK. I though I'd outgrown SP, as I didn't really enjoy the past seasons as much as I did the earlier ones, but the Vance lube gnome made me actually chuckle out loud.
-
It's been bad for many, many seasons... When they made Garrison Trump I knew it was going to be lame.
Seems they found their way again this season, though!

South Park can do whatever they want at this point. Hit or miss, they've got my support.
-
After giving up on SP years ago I watched S27E01 a few days ago. As always I appreciate the timeliness, the cojones to parody Trump with Trump cutouts, and his double was pretty good.
But the episode was disjointed, it wasn't really telling a story, and didn't make any new points. Meh.
-
I think pointing out that idiots like Rogan have basically turned into real life copies of Cartman is a pretty valid story in today's situation.
Not the deepest plot for certain. Still I think enough to get a season long thing going at least though.
-
Hmm… what do you mean by new points? Like what? Trump has been either president or looming over the presidency for a decade… I'd be profoundly surprised if anyone manages to come up with anything new to say at this point, comedians or otherwise.

He's ORANGE!!!!!!

It says in the article that they released an alternate ending, but I can't find it.
-
I think they had one ending on Comedy Central and this is the Paramount+ version: https://xcancel.com/SouthPark/status/1955000014893355389

S27, E2: the relentless bash of Kristi Noem was fucking hilarious.
JD as "Tattoo" was great!
It was one of those jokes that was funny at first, then began to get a little tired, then started becoming funny again because of how overdone it was.
That's pretty much the formula.
Yeah, I can understand that. I laughed for the whole thing.
This seems insane to me, but then I remember I'm in my 40s and was about to start high school the first time I saw it.
Ha, these new episodes are first I've seen in years.
