I definitely like Season 8 a lot more than I did when it first air (I think I ranked Season 1 above it at some point), but I'd still rank Seasons 6 and 7 above it. After all, not a bad ep in the bunch for Season 6, though if it weren't for South Park Is Gay, Christian Rock Hard and Raisins, Season 8 would probably be above 7 in my list.
Homerjay - Season 4 good? Are you high? Okay, Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000, Tooth Fairy's TATS 2000, Timmy 2000, Chef Goes Nanners and Fat Camp are excellent, but the rest of the season is very, very average.
Anyway, onto the new episode, Manbearpig. This episode's not as good as everyone's saying it is... Granted, it's nowhere near as bad as last week's, but it reminded me of Free Wilzyx. The storyline's fairly grounded, all the good jokes quickly become dull, and the ending (eg. Cartman crapping out the treasure, Jamboo dead on the moon) could be seen coming a mile away. You know, South Park's jokes may be relevant to the plot, but they're always hit-or-miss, and lately, there have been more misses than hits. There were just no real surprises or stand-out good jokes, and if it weren't for Al Gore being so hilariously pathetic, this would be a very average episode.
6.5/10
DotheBartman - As far as Season 10 goes, Cartoon Wars has been the only real stand-out at the moment. And given there's only one episode left for this half, I certainly wouldn't consider Season 10 "one of the best" at the moment. Hopefully, the second half will make up for shit like The Return of Chef and A Million Little Fibers.

I'd file that under "very, very average," even if it did have some good jokes.

No, that would've destroyed the entire point of the joke, and would've been WAY too similar to the ending of Volcano.

I thought for sure that Manbearpig was going to make an appearance, becuase one of the rules of comedy is "if everyone believes something doesn't exist, then it does." However, yeah, it would be very similar to Scuzzlebutt. Matt'n'Trey shouldn't have repeated themselves so much. This season's been pretty weak so far. "Manbearpig" is probably a typical, average, forgettable episode. It passed away and will probably not be remembered as either a highlight or lowlight of the season. 2.5/5

Info on the final episode of part 1 of Season 10: This Week on South Park: Tsst When Cartman's mom realizes she can't control her son anymore, she gets help from an expert. The "Dog Whisperer" may have what it takes but Eric Cartman's not going down without a fight.

Cartman-centric episodes tend to be very good or very bad, there's usually no middle ground. I'll be interested to see which direction they take this in - though it's one of those episodes that they could easily fuck up. So far, this season's been very disappointing to me, with the exception of Cartoon Wars.

I though Manbearpig was pretty funny, it had the feel of the early series.

Tsst was pretty good... a very nice character exploration of Cartman, and some funny moments. LOVED all the jokes about the current trend in nanny shows (along with their horrible appearances, and the way Cartman was so easily able to rebel against them), and the show really shined in those first few minutes when Cesar Millan was treating Cartman like a dog. Lots of Cartman abuse, some good character humour, and it was great to see NO-ONE lending a hand to Cartman when he was down, not even Butters. Still, it wasn't without its problems - the storyline seemed a little aimless (though that's forgivable since it was a character episode), and there were quite a few dull moments, but overall, this is definitely one of the better episodes this season. Not quite as good as Cartoon Wars, but certainly more watchable than A Million Little Fibers, that's for sure.
7/10

Manbearpig: Very weak, I was hoping for something good to make up for the absymal A Million Little Fibres(possibly the worst episode ever) but this was only a minor improvement, they basically repeated the same joke over and over, Al Gore is such a loser, it got old In my opinion Southpark never do political humour well, they tend to be too biased, always making fun of democrats but rarely republicans, a good show should makes fun of both sides as they both deserve to be ripped on. If you only pick on one side you end up looking like a moron like Micael Moore. The only bits I found entertaining involved Cartman but even that ended predictably.
So far I'd rate season 10 as a little below par, Cartoon Wars 1&2 were great, Return of Chef was decent, Smug Alert wasn't that good, Manbearpig was poor and AMLF was awful. Still the fact that Matt and Trey can pull off a clasic like Cartoon Wars shows they still got it so there is still hope for the rest of the season.

Rarely make fun of republicans? What you talkin' 'bout Willis? What about the "We'll do as we always do - use the republicans" joke in Best Friends Forever (in regards to pushing Hell's agenda), George Bush's scenes in A Ladder to Heaven, all the republican voters being gun-toting redneck hicks in I'm A Little Bit Country, etc? The only reason why democrats cop it more is because Matt and Trey love taking shots at Hollywood, and we all know the left-wing bias that has. I've always considered South Park to be one of the most unbiased shows when it comes to satirical content - just look at any Simpsons episode with political satire. Dracula is a republican, for cryin' out loud!
Oh well... Here are my ratings for the first half: THE RESTURN OF CHEF: 7/10 (it's grown on me quite a bit with repeat viewings) SMUG ALERT: 6/10 CARTOON WARS PART 1: 9/10 CARTOON WARS PART 2: 9.5/10 A MILLION LITTLE FIBERS: 3/10 MANBEARBIG: 6/10 TSST: 7/10

He posted his views of the show, nothing wrong with that, if it wasn't for the Anyone liked last night's episode? I sure did. line his post would be no different from anybody elses.
I thought it was another good episode, it was good to see Cartman get put in his place, I still prefer the older episodes though, I rewatched Tom's Rhinoplasty for the first time in ages last night and laughed far more than I have at recentepisodes.

The point is, he posts stupid crap like that all the time. It's not like that was a one-off... Arrghh, it's the Test thread all over again!

Yeah, Season 1 is certainly underrated in that aspect. It may not have the wit and satirical intelligence of the later episodes, but Season 1 is certainly one of the more consistent seasons when it comes to humour. You're guranateed to laugh your ass off through most of Season 1. Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo's my favourite Season 1 episode, though. I had tears in my eyes when the kids were performing the shitty non-christian Christmas play. "I look into the sun... and the rays burn my eyes..."
