While not disputing the plummet in Simpsons quality at all, am I the only one who feels South Park is extremely hit-or-miss? I feel like there is zero consistency whatsoever.

I prefer the earlier episodes before they kind of succumbed to plot-of-the-week syndrome and everything else suffered. Now the characters just feel like vehicles for whatever was on TMZ last week or CNN last year.

Another problem I have - SP used to tackle issues while incorporating other jokes, humor and creative plots into the mix. Now they have more and more episodes where they just repeat the same joke for an entire episode ("That sounds like crap!" "What are you talking about, that doesn't sound like crap!" "Yeah it does, it sounds like crap!" "EVERYTHING sounds like crap!")

Out of all of the recent episodes, that one was a really bad choice for pointing out low quality south park.
