Not the second one. If it's as good as the first I know I'll like though.

It's not as good but it's still pretty darn funny. They really expand on the Darth Vader/Emporer Palpatine skits as well as featuring Boba Fett alot more.

Once again they're both hit and miss in different ways.

At least FG's hits and misses are always in the contents of one episode. South Park episodes are either a complete hit or a complete miss.

I enjoy South Park because Cartman is a genius but Family Guy gets high marks simply because of the episode with Cobra Commander

Give an example of a south park miss, maybe the jackovasaur episode but even that was stupid funny.

Problem I have with Family guy is it's lazy much less intelligent humor.

People say things like "remember the one where stewie went to the fridge for some sunny dor when peter was the blue guy from tron" etc etc etc.

The plot is irrelevant and that's lazy, doen't mean it's not funny, it's jut not high quality.

South Park is the smartest show in the history of TV by a long shot.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.

Uh... smartest show in the history of TV? I like the show, but the satire and plots aren't THAT complex...

Fairly impressive for a show that is intellectually bankrupt.

you should probably rewatch some of those really early seasons before making a claim like that. especially when the pointiest aspect of their wit was...

OH MY GOD THEY KILLED KENNY!!!

the show only really started getting intellectual once they seemed to actively start following in norman lear's footsteps around 2002. it might be one of the smartest shows on tv today, but it certainly is not 'the' smartest show in the history of tv.

Your definitely underestimating the early stuff, but yes it was raw and more abrasive. I also agree 2002 is when they turned it up and Lear is a fair comparison, there is some of that there to be sure.

I stand by my statement, no show prior to the last 15 years even belongs in the discussion, TV was awful in retrospect, but that's to be expected we we've still learning the medium.

Almost every bit of dialog in South Park is metaphor or satire, it's so careful and composed and yet they stay so ahead of current events. They handle every major issue with incredible honesty, humanity and insight and they still keep it the most over the top immature show on TV. That type of of self effacing humility in the face of such blindingly brilliant commentary is unheard of...So sayeth the Spider.
