One of the longest running animated sitcoms on television today is South Park. Well into its 14th season, it has beaten hollow other hugely popular television shows. Animated the show maybe, but the focus is on adults. Humorous, topical and satirical, the creators of the show, Parker and Stone have skillfully woven diverse threads into the fabric of the storyline. There is the cross section of society as represented by the four little boys who make up the central characters of the program. Each comes from a different place, has his own distinct identity and his very own view. And, then there is the daily humdrum of life.
Portrayed as it is with wit and intelligence, the lessons we are sometimes forced to imbibe as we journey through, are put across almost as parables; gentle in tone, but firm in intent. South Park Episodes can now even be viewed online. Simply log onto spepisode.org and keep up with the happenings in the fictional town of South Park, Colorado. Watch South Park for it’s take on current affairs as well. The writers sure do have an original point of view and their decision to air it through the show, is totally unique.
