South Park never takes the easy route nor does it ever take it easy on anyone. For that, it’s become a voice worth hearing every year, and one we’ll be eager to engage with throughout Season 20.

Crude in execution, harsh by design, South Park is deliciously deranged. Don't bite unless you have a taste for the tasteless. [13 Aug 1997]

Rating the entirety of a show with 30 seasons and over 300 episodes with a single number from 1 to 10 is ridiculous - I think more nuance than that is necessary. As such, I will qualify my 9/10 rating by adding that South Park has peaks and valleys - its lows are usually only mediocre at worst, and its highs are untouchable in the world of television. And when considering that after 30 seasons, this show remains occasionally fresh and funny (and often possessing a smart, satirical bite unlike any other show on network television), I cannot help but sing its praises. If you've never seen an episode, I recommend at least watching some of the noteworthy ones no matter your taste in television. South Park is an amazing TV show.

Unlike many cartoons, this one actually looks funny, and it constantly plays on its grade-school aesthetic for shock value, with great success. At its best, "South Park" is more a profane "Peanuts" than a downsized "Beavis and Butt-head." [13 Aug 1997]

Even at its meanest, "South Park" is seldom mean-spirited, and it's often outrageously funny. [13 Aug 1997]

Uneven ... The series often seems more crude than irreverent, and its satirical targets too familiar and easy to hit. ... However uneven it is now, "South Park" seems to have a future. [17 Aug 1997]

To say that the series is not for everyone is lavish understatement. The real question: Is it for anyone? [13 Aug 1997]

It's dismissible juvenilia ... a collection of poorly paced, lowest-common-denominator setups that are not even sophomorically funny or scatologically goofy. [13 Aug 1997]

This show is so goated, like really.
Yes, it may not be a children show, but it still apeals to teens also, my favorite is Cartman and Stan, just because I just like them...

This is a show that can be extremely funny and entertaining when everything goes right, but a lot of the time that isn't the case. The jokes involving the boys going around town and interacting with one another are usually pretty good, but often times it is ruined by some social or political statement that just waters down the episodes and makes it not as funny, especially when you watch the episodes years later and the jokes are no longer relevant. I am not looking for a political statement from a crude comedy show with simply drawn cartoon characters, but I am looking for jokes and light-hearted fun, which both often are both included in the episodes, making this a pretty good but not extremely amazing show.

South Park is a strange show that is usually clever, but its jokes never seem strong enough to last for an entire episode.

What happened to this show? It completely lost its edge and now they’re reusing old tired jokes and pushing the woke agenda.
