I like the sound of this one.

CARTMAN INFILTRATES THE NSA
ON THE 17TH SEASON PREMIERE OF “SOUTH PARK” ON
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 AT 10:00 P.M. ET/PT ON COMEDY CENTRAL

NEW YORK, September 23, 2013 – Cartman wants to hold the government accountable for secretly monitoring all of his personal information in an all-new episode of "South Park" titled "Let Go, Let Gov," premiering Wednesday, September 25 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on COMEDY CENTRAL.

When Cartman manages to get himself behind the doors of the NSA, he doesn’t like what he finds in his personal file. He thinks it’s time he told everyone the truth. Meanwhile, Butters finds someone new to listen to his prayers.

I thought last week's episode was a solid start to the season. It was the highest rated episode of the past three seasons.

Here's the scoop on this week's episode:

[BreizhManu]

Best episode ever

[cartman]

They have been at or near the top of their social satire game so far this season.

[Julio Riddols]

I think the move to shorter seasons has been beneficial in that it appears to have given them a better shot at putting quality shows out. Good season so far.

That, and this is the first time in a while they've been able to focus 100% on South Park. The last couple of years they've had to juggle the show along with The Book of Mormon.

For the first time, South Park missed getting an episode ready by the deadline.

Episode 1704 will not air tonight - News - South Park Studios (http://www.southparkstudios.com/news/j2j34b/episode-1704-will-not-air-tonight)

On Tuesday night, South Park Studios lost power. From animation to rendering to editing and sound, all of our computers were down for hours and we were unable to finish episode 1704 "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" in time for air tonight. Trey Parker said, "It sucks to miss an air date but after all these years of tempting fate by delivering the show last minute, I guess it was bound to happen."

[Julio Riddols]

Haha, whoops.

[miked]

At least it was the disturbing Scott Tenorman episode.

[korme]

My buddy posted this on his front door today, told me he hopes the guy has a sense of humor:

[jeff061]

This has been an excellent season.

[cartman]

The saga continues with this week's episode. Not sure yet if this is going to be a two or three episode series.

I just saw this episode last night, and I laughed at the Wheel of Fortune scene for several minutes.

With Apologies to Jesse Jackson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_Apologies_to_Jesse_Jackson)

[Julio Riddols]

Randy Marsh and Butters are the two best side characters the show has.. I honestly think Butters saved the show when he was introduced. I like the cockney kid from the minecraft episode a lot too, I hope he makes a few cameos going forward.

[cartman]

Looks like a 3 episode story arc. Quite fitting it will be concluded a couple of days before Black Friday.

[cartman]

The epic three part Black Friday series ends on Wednesday night. Here is the info on the upcoming episode:

THE WAIT FOR BLACK FRIDAY SALES IS OVER

[Groundhog]

I think it's time for me to catch up on some South Park.

[cartman]

So it is settled.

Xbox One wins the console wars :D

That was an awesome series of episodes! I about lost it when Bill Gates showed off his gang/prison tats.

[cartman]

That was an awesome episode to end the season! This might have been their most solid season start to finish, which is incredible for year 17.

[Julio Riddols]

Shortening to 10 episodes and doing it all in one run seems like a good formula for them. It definitely produced some excellent stuff this year.

[BreizhManu]

Played and finished the rpg "The stick of truth"

was really awesome, a bit short for that kind of games (finished it in 15 hours while doing 90% of the quests) due to the fact that there aren't many side quests.

But it really feels like a south park episode, i'd say it's a must buy for any fans out there.
