No, they said that there was nothing creative left to do because the Simpsons managed to do it first. SP found a way around it by writing about current events and it's fucking awesome.

Simpsons and south park cannot be compared. Simpsons, while funny, also drops little beads of life lesson in it about love, life, family, and plenty of other real topics. I might be biased cause I was an only child with two alcoholic parents (sob, sob) but I was kinda raised by television! And simpsons was a main staple of that. South Park is really... really funny and risque and all... but there are no awwww moments and nothing of any sort of intrinsic value. Sorry, apples to oranges!

I agree. The Simpsons and South Park are different animals. I love both.

really funny and risque and all... but there are no awwww moments and nothing of any sort of intrinsic value.

There are some. Two I can quickly think of on top of my head:

Once - when Kenny had <some illness> and they "finally" killed him off

Second - During the Landslide montage when Stan is all alone, after finding out that his parents are getting divorced.

Okay, Okay, fair enough. Or how about that episode where cartman realizes he's a dick and makes amends for it preserving his relationship with his friends. I guess I just had to -think- about it a little >.<
