South Park: Cancelled

[Squishy]

Made you look!

"Cancelled" was the title of the Wednesday night season premiere.

This was an amazing episode for several reasons:
(1) The awesome yet horrific timing of the final images.
(2) Crowd footage from the bridge scene in "Reptilicus!!!"
(3) They made fun of "Contact" again, and it was still funny. Dy-no-mite, even. Hell, they even went as far back as Jeff Goldblum's character in "Jurassic Park" and it was still funny. Not as funny as a taco that craps ice cream, but still. Lord, they even spoofed "Dukes of Hazzard."
(4) The Joozineks. (Isolate the first syllable.)
(4a) On a petty personal level, the Joozineks were nice to see, because not too long ago, one of these jokers who likes to argue politics without doing any of his homework reacted to a statement I made about anti-Semetism with that old "memory blip." To wit: I noted that before The Commies, then The Liberals, were accused of being the "sworn enemies of Democracy," it was The Jews, who "controlled the media." The other guy replied, "I have no idea what you're talking about. That never happened." It didn't matter that public record has Richard Nixon and Billy Graham discussing the very issue: didn't happen didn't happen didn't happen la la la la la. He doesn't post here anymore. I hope he was watching. ...dick.
(4b) The Joozineks are Watto. They're Watto without the small hint of subtlety that George Lucas gives his racial and ethnic stereotypes. Lucas' apologists can dance and bob and weave and say idiot things like "Watto can't be a Jewish stereotype! Jews aren't blue and don't have wings!!" but they can't get around this: the Joozineks are Watto, one notch up on the offensiveness scale.
(4c) God help me, that one Joozinek puts his finger up the other Joozinek's ******* while sucking his *********. Right there on screen. That ain't right. That ain't right. I'ma be seein' that **** in my nightmares, yo. :D
(5) While Cartman's transmitter is being repaired, he's eating ice cream. There's only on ice cream source on the entire spaceship. Ew.

Norman Lear's going to co-produce the show in coming seasons. Uh oh.

[Drezzy]

Yes, this past week's South Park was greatness in television form.

And I'm not too concerned with Lear's addition. Parker and Stone would not allow somebody to have such an impact on their show unless they liked his work. And if Parker and Stone, my comedic idols, think he's good, then I'm willing to give him a solid chance.

Besides, imagine the great possibility of Cartman acting like Archie Bunker.
