South Park has it's pros and cons, but overall, I do enjoy the show. It has a different type of humor than most shows: the comedy is based almost entirely around the situation rather than dialogue and physical humor. Really the plots that are so funny, that make it enjoyable. There's one where the kid's parents hire actors to pretend to be their children from the future, but all burnt-out, so their kids would stay away from drugs. Naturally, Hilarity Ensues. The humor is less on making snarky comments and more on the absurd things that happen. There's another episode where Cartman puts a wig on his hand and goes around pretending it's Jennifer Lopez. Again, Hilarity Ensues. The animation is pretty bad, (okay, REALLY bad) but the sheer crudeness of it does serve to make it funnier. The show uses a lot of gross-out comedy that a lot of people (including me) find immature and unfunny, but some of you (again, including me) may be able to look past it and enjoy the good aspects of the show. If you can handle the many, many offensive and tasteless parts (seriously, it makes even the latest seasons of Family Guy look tame by comparison) and like social satire, you may want to give this show a chance.
