South Park Seasons 21, 22, & 23*

I liked the episode. The tardigrade stuff was okay, but I preferred the angle on couples becoming more like each other over time, ie, Heidi turning into Cartman. Some funny stuff there.

 

Anyone watching S22?

 

Only 1 ep in so far but will do more this weekend.

 

Thanks for the reminder. Not having cable now, I'm out of the loop and miss when things start. Just watched "Dead Kids" and thought it was very funny. Loved Randy at the dinner table when Sharon was freaking out, and during the community meeting in their living room. And Butters on hall monitor duty with the M-16!

 

I forgot about the show. Caught the last two weeks episodes. Mr. Hankey run out of town? WOW. And Stan's dad a grass cultivator........who would have thought?

 

In episode 22-01 "Dead Kids" - is Cartman's black leather jacket, fingerless glvoes investigavite character supposed to be a reference to any character or movie in particular? His "Black Panther" obsession was funny. Also liked Sharon's therapist trying to read Randy's charades.

 

this season has been weird so far

 

I'm not sure that 'weird' is a distinguishing descriptor for this show . Seen all four and liked them all. A strong start to the season.

 

Yes. Liked last nights episode a lot. And the Dead Kids episode.

Didnt like the previous priest episode very much, though.

 

And my reaction is the opposite. It's a decent season so far, but the standout for me so far was the priest episode. I wouldn't rank it among my favorite episodes ever, but it definitely made me laugh out loud a few times. The pot growing episode has been the weakest so far.

 

I loved the pot one. Good to see Towlie has gone pro. And Randy mocking the ***** stick using vape people.

 

Just watched S22-02 "A Boy And A Priest" - Good stuff. The sound of the "Cumby" gave me a laugh. Also got a kick out of the "Cumboni" and the priest call that the cleanup crew used. I know the animation on this show has progressed througout the years, but it really struck me in a few scenes this episode how much more detailed it is. I watched an old episode from season 1 or 2 recently and there was a scene that took place at Stark's Pond. It was just a little blue puddle with snow around and maybe a bench. But in this episode where Butter's and the priest visit Stark's Pond, it has all these beautiful detailed mountains around it. Also the buildings have so much more detail now than they used to.

 

I thought the Halloween e-bike episode was fantastic! A successful fusion of various elements that was also very funny.

 

Yeah, it was. For some reason I got a kick out of the credit card entering sequence, complete with expiry and security code. When Kenny and Mackey talk to the cell phone tower guy dressed as Jason, his little head tilt to the side was an homage to Friday The 13th: Part 2 where the girl confuses Jason by pretending to be his mother, and he did that same move.

They dropped the sound of gunfire for establishing shots of the school, though. I thought it was pretty funny how when they would show the exterior of the school the past few episodes (after "Dead Kids"), you'd hear the sound of gunfire from inside.

 

Tegridy Farms!

 

100% HEMP

 

Now they're bleepin' the "F's"?

why?

 

Didn't they always? I thought they were (quite famously) allowed to use the S word, but not the F word.

 

I'm watching on Hulu, they've
been un-bleeped 'til this current
episode.

 

The Amazon Ep. was genius.

 

Great Amazon episode. I just loved the portrayal of Bezos as a Talosian alien from ST:TOS.

 

Tennessee Ernie Ford would be proud.

 

It's so interesting how different episodes hit people differently. I thought this Amazon episode was weak; high on the "making a point" index but low on humor. I did enjoy hearing Tennessee Ernie Ford, but it seemed lazy to use so much of it to tell the story. I'm guessing this is the first part of a story arc, too, since the ending seemed like it wasn't an ending at all.
