Haven't seen "South Park" for at least 15 years. Took time to watch the entire series (277 episodes and 1 movie to date) and was very impressed with how it still holds up and challenges social standards and sociopolitical ideals with clever and often brutal satire. Some amazing episodes in there.

This year I worked through all of "The Simpsons", "Futurama", "King of the Hill" and "South Park" episodes ever made and it is clear that "South Park" became the strongest contender for animated comedy and social relevance some time ago, mostly competing with "The Simpsons" for pole position. That show has lost the plot, grown stale as it nears 30 years, and appears to be winding down. "South Park", however, feels like it is still on the boil and could remain hot for many more years to come.

Finally... worked through all 28 seasons of "The Simpsons" (618 episodes and 1 movie to date). A rocky road, with the first ten seasons being the best "classic" or Golden years period. Then it went downhill with many unfunny, clichéd or just plain boring seasons for a few years. Hasn't really picked up again as well as it could, but did improve eventually. I think "South Park" has done better at keeping up with social events and remaining consistent.
