TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “The Poor Kid”

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: November 16, 2011 Part of being a SOUTH PARK fan is loving it one week and hating it the next. With “The Poor Kid”, the episode lands somewhere in the middle. There are a few laughs, a couple clever sight gags, but it’s clear the end of the season has worn down creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and the result is not a very satisfying episode. “The Poor Kid” focuses on Kenny and his siblings being sent to a foster home after his parents are […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “A History Channel Thanksgiving”

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: November 9, 2011 It’s that time of the season where SOUTH PARK drops the politics and current events and just gives in and gets silly. This year it’s with the hilarious episode “A History Channel Thanksgiving.” When the boys have to write a report on Thanksgiving, they decide to get their info from the History Channel instead of hitting the books. Of course, the History Channel Thanksgiving special alludes to the fact that aliens were there during the original Indian/pilgrim gathering at Plymouth Rock. Absurdity progresses […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “1 Percent”

Cartman and the South Park kids in SOUTH PARK - Season 15 - "1 Percent" | ©2011 Comedy Central

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: November 2, 2011 One of the best reasons for Trey Parker, Matt Stone and the entire production team at SOUTH PARK to put themselves through hell to deliver brand new animated episodes in six days is the ability for them to be topical. That means that whatever is current or in the news, can be instant fodder just like SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, THE DAILY SHOW, THE COLBERT REPORT and others of its ilk. Yet, this is also animation – and very complex to pull off, especially […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “Broadway Bro Down”

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: October 26, 2011 It was a given that at some point Trey Parker and Matt Stone were going to tackle their Broadway experience with BOOK OF MORMON on SOUTH PARK. The question was “when” and “how?” The wait is finally over with “Broadway Bro Down”, the funniest episode since the midseason finale “You’re Getting Old.” This is classic SOUTH PARK where all the elements smash into each other head on and actually have a couple of very satisfying pay-offs. It all starts when Randy Marsh is […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “Bass to Mouth”

The kids discover a new gossip site on SOUTH PARK - Season 15 - "Bass to Mouth" | ©2011 Comedy Central

Getting bent out of shape because SOUTH PARK does an utterly tasteless episode is similar to being outraged that Lindsay Lohan did something stupid again to land her in jail. They do that they do. It is what it is. We’re all the better for it. In SOUTH PARK’s case, tasteless is their forte – and most of the time it works brilliantly. Where the big problems come from is when the show simply misses the mark in its tastelessness and doesn’t provide enough funny to back it up. That’s the sad truth of “Bass to Mouth” which tackles so […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “The Last of the Meheecans”

Butters on SOUTH PARK - Season 15 - "The Last of the Meheecans" | ©2011 Comedy Central

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: October 12, 2011 With “The Last of the Meheecans”, SOUTH PARK provides a pretty funny episode that takes on Border patrol agents, illegal immigrants sneaking into this county and Cartman once again going to extremes to win at something. While the humor here is not totally laugh out loud, it’s a solid run on spoofing America’s current problem with illegal immigrants sneaking into the U.S.A. The episode starts with the South Park kids playing a little game of Border Patrol Agents and Meheecans (I guess cowboys […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “Ass Burgers”

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: October 5, 2011 June’s mid-season finale of SOUTH PARK  ended on the brilliant “You’re Getting Old” episode where Stan realized that by turning ten, the world had literally turned to crap and he had become a miserable cynic. The episode ended with his parents getting a divorce and Stan moping around town as the Stevie Nicks song “Landslide” played. It was a brilliant end to an uneven Season 15, and as the second half of SOUTH PARK returns with “Ass Burgers,” we get the pay-off that […]Read On »

TV Review: TWO AND A HALF MEN – Season 9 – “People Who Love Peepholes”

Stars: Ashton Kutcher, Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones, Conchata Ferrell, Holland Taylor Writers: Chuck Lorre, Lee Aronsohn, Eddie Gorodetsky, Jim Patterson Director: James Widdoes Network: CBS, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: September 26, 2011 While last week’s Season 9 premiere of TWO AND A HALF MEN was all about shedding the ghost of Charlie Harper (aka Charlie Sheen) from the series, while the second episode, “People Who Love Peepholes”, essentially serves as the official “pilot” episode for the show’s reboot. It’s a brand new show, with actors getting accustomed to either their new characters or their new roles within the […]Read On »

TV Review: TWO AND A HALF MEN – Season 9 premiere – “Nice to Meet You, Walden Schmidt”

Stars: Ashton Kutcher, Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones, Conchata Ferrell, Holland Taylor Writers: Chuck Lorre, Lee Aronsohn, Eddie Gorodetsky, Jim Patterson Director: James Widdoes Network: CBS, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: September 19, 2011 One of the most dysfunctional firings in the history of television involved TWO AND A HALF MEN and Charlie Sheen – a fall-out last year that paved the way for a Sheen-less Season 9. What could have been an absolute disaster has been handled rather wisely by CBS, creating a buzz with the addition of Ashton Kutcher to the show, and surprisingly, finding a way to […]Read On »
