South Park celebrates 10 years

Comedy Central will air the 10 South Park episodes that changed the world starting Sunday Sept. 24 at 10:00 PM ET leading up to the start of the new season on 10/4.

An exerpt from the article:

SOUTH PARK is celebrating its 10th anniversary in an epic way. Remember the episode when televised cussing almost brought about the apocalypse? How about
the time Chef was brainwashed by an adventure-seeking cult? Nobody can forget the episode, "Trapped In The Closet," where Tom Cruise and John Travolta
locked themselves in Stan’s closet. Here’s a chance to see all of these world-changing episodes in one fell swoop. Starting Sunday, Sept. 24, 2006, at
10:00 pm, Comedy Central will be running, for 10 consecutive nights, the 10 episodes that changed the world… for better or for worse.

It all leads up to the new season of SOUTH PARK premiering Oct. 4 at 10:00 pm. These episodes will also be available on the SOUTH PARK THE HITS: VOLUME
1 DVD available in stores in the U.S. on Oct. 3.

Launched in 1997, South Park remains the highest-rated series on COMEDY CENTRAL. The animated series was honored earlier this year with the prestigious
George Foster Peabody Award in the 65th Annual Peabody Awards competition and has been nominated for six Emmy Awards (including this year's nod), winning
the Emmy last year for Outstanding Animated Program (less than an hour). Trey Parker and Matt Stone are co-creators/exec producers of SOUTH PARK with Anne
Garefino also serving as exec producer.

Here's the thing about me and South Park:

I think South Park is a brilliant television series. I think the message of its film is so on target its not even funny though the movie is laugh out loud funny after multiple viewings.

I don't watch the show much anymore and I don't really know why. I think its because I don't watch as much TV anymore, but I do think some of the episodes that will air to celebrate 10 years are quite funny.

I would also argue that unlike TNA South Park can honestly say some of its episodes have changed the world.
