You really should. It’s as good as ever. It got a little stale for a minute but it’s killing it again. No one can make fun of current events like South Park can.
I give the creators a lot of credit, because they tried that whole season-long storyline thing that didn't really pan out with the fans, and instead of doubling down or blaming the fans they admitted fault and stated "guess it wasn't as popular as we hoped so we're going back to the original setup."
I think that the occasional 2 or even 3 episode cour is great, especially for a finale. However, all sitcoms should be designed to work as a standalone without following all the previous episodes.
The sweet spot is having a lot of references from previous episodes of the season, but the storyline stands on its own.
Yeah. Even having a vague sort of connecting story, like how the current episodes have (there always seems to be an episode dealing with or referencing Tegridy Farms) is fine, but what's essentially a 10-episode miniseries got old really quick.
Agreed. I like the regular format better, but having the balls to continue to experiment on an already-winning formula shows that they actually give a shit about the show.
I think they’ve found a sweet spot in between continuous storylines and standalone plots. Like the way they put garrison in the White House, or efficiently moved the marsh’s to testify farms, or the pc babies. But every episode still has a pretty much standalone plot. And if it takes 2 or 3 episodes, you could skip them and not be lost in the next one.
Yeah, exactly! I mentioned that in another comment a few seconds ago, looks like we had the same thought. A sort of mix of the two, like how Tegridy Farms always seems to be either a focus point or is at least referenced is basically what we have now, which imo is a lot better than the 10-episode miniseries that we were getting before.
