Then there's 'Crippled Summer,' this season's only real focus on any Timmy or Jimmy storyline, featuring a number of memorable cartoon characters realized as a group of young gifted campers, as well as the return of Towelie, everyone's least favorite wash cloth-turned-drug addict. The answer makes so much sense, though, as personal responsibility is by no way an alternative. 'South Park: The Complete Fourteenth Season' starts with one hell of a bang, making fun of the (then relevant) Tiger Woods sex way of video game, the annual EA Sports golf simulator, with new features concerning domestic violence, as well as sexual addiction, and why rich men are continually drawn to extramarital affairs. There is no way anyone can say this show is out of ideas. The world may not be ready for Eric Cartman and his own Vagisil branded NASCAR vehicle, or the world's most disgusting book ever written, but considering everything the fine folks of the small Colorado mountain town have seen over the years, this is just another day in the life.
Lovecraft's Cthulhu, a truly ancient embodiment of evil.
#SOUTH PARK EPISODE 201 CENSORED FULL#
Not only do the young South Park Elementary School students have to deal with KFC bans, social networking, and the invasion of New Jersey, they also have their hands full with their own superhero team, created just in time to fight the universe's greatest evil: H.P.
This season, like all before it, is quite the eclectic set of episodes, with little in the way of a common thread. If you missed out on the "banned" episodes when they aired, the Blu-ray and DVD box sets are the only legitimate way to go to support Parker and Stone's continued endeavors, with their cast of unruly children in the uber-dysfunctional Colorado town of South Park. The entire fourteen episode season, including the two episodes that are still not available to stream, is available on this two disc box set, which may be the most important selling point. But, in this new era, where shows like 'Family Guy' repeatedly make fun of its parent company and its canceled programs (and even its flagship, 'The Simpsons'), the public spat wasn't enough to cost fans the continued enjoyment of the show. The headline making two episode arc that took place starting at the show's 200th episode (200th!), titled, aptly, '200' and '201,' threatened the very dynamic of the show, with Comedy Central censoring the episodes, which prompted Parker and Stone to not allow their 'South Park' Studios website to show the final product, which was not to their liking. With each season coming in two halves, with a large gap in the middle of a "season," the timing couldn't have been any worse for season fourteen. With the fourteenth season come and gone, it's somewhat easy to see that the fourteen episodes were more notorious due to a major censorship controversy than due to the constant push to offend and entertain with cable network firsts, usually concerning vulgarities. It's really quite the feat, considering the history of the show and its broadcast channel. Even more amazingly, they're capable of keeping the boundary pushing dynamic that is one of the staples of the animated show intact, despite repeatedly obliterating it.
#SOUTH PARK EPISODE 201 CENSORED SERIES#
With every passing year, and another 'South Park' season under their belt, I'm amazed that creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone not only have the drive to keep their series going, but the means to keep the now fifteen year old show (which has been renewed for a sixteenth slate of episodes!) original, fresh, and relevant.
