I do admit, this show has its funny moments. The absolute wildness and insanity of it definitely outweighs the opponents, "The Simpsons" and "Beavis and Butthead", but it is certainly too over-the-top for me. Parents be-warned. This is not a cartoon!
I was reading a review in the paper once about some of the most watched kids shows. I could have guessed the rest, but then I saw this show listed among them and then I realised what was happening. The kids will ask their parents; "Mum, can I watch South Park?", and the mum will reply; "What is it", and the kid will say; "Don't worry, mum, it's only a cartoon!". Only a cartoon. That's the understatement of the millennium. I imagine that all of these cartoon shows are only cartoons so that more possibilities can be put in. If it was live action, there would be limits to what the characters can do.
All in all, this is not the most preferred show for me to be watching. Sickening, fast-paced and rude is loved by some but loathed by others, but I urge parents never to let their kids watch South Park! IT-IS-NOT-A-KID'S-SHOW!!!
