The show never got preachy in Season 4, it just began to run out of idea's. Keep in mind that at the time - Matt and Trey were working on That's My Bush! so they didn't really have much time for South Park, leaving more for the writers. And other than Tooth Fairy's Tats 2000, Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000, Timmy 2000, Quintuplets 2000, Cartman Joins Nambla, Trapper Keeper and Fat Camp - South Park's 4th season was really poor.

Originally posted by The Comedy Bee: What is That's my Bush? It's a sit-com that Matt Stone and Trey Parker made in 2000/2001. It was all about George Bush, and basically made fun of how crappy sit-com's usually are, by being as crappy and lame as possible. A lot of the humour was originally so-lame-it's-funny jokes in the first few episodes (this was deliberate), but then it grew to become pretty funny - my personal favourite being the one where George has to speak at an anti-drug meeting, and accidentally takes speed a few minutes before, mistaking them for panadol. It lasted 8 episodes, and though it wasn't Matt & Trey's best work - it did get pretty good in the middle, and they have said in interviews and stuff that they're pretty damn proud of it. Hey, I'm all for anything from Matt & Trey that takes the piss out of sit-coms and George Bush...

Yeah, they contain audio commentaries because they changed the distributors of the DVD's (Dreamworks took the original commentaries off due to Matt & Trey's comments towards the movie Contact). Still, the commentaries won't be full length, apparentally they're just "mini-commentaries", meaning they'll be about 8 minutes long. Still, better than nothing. I just wish the fucking DVD's would come out in Australia!
Anyway, I saw All About Mormons. Fairly average episode - it just didn't have that "South Park"-ish mood to it. The whole episode felt like it was being written by a completely different person, despite 2 or 3 really funny moments.
Also, South Park Is Gay airs on Aussie TV tonight at 8:30pm on SBS! Ironically, this is on at the exact same time Channel 10 airs Queer Eye For The Straight Guy...

Yes, DreamWorks WAS the distributor of Contact, and they didn't want to offend Jodie Foster. I can't see why - she still brings in more money than South Park anyway. Even stupider is the fact that Matt & Trey only brought up how much they hated Contact because there was a joke about Contact being an awful movie in the episode Tom's Rhinoplasity, and Dreamworks LEFT THAT joke in. Also, the DVD was very rushed. The box mislabeled which disc the episodes were on, and the audio quality was apparentally less than satisfactory. In the end, Matt & Trey got so sick of this that they switched the distributor when it came time to release the Season 3 DVD.
Also, the main reason Stan got so pissed off at Gary in the end was that he thought his family was acting so nice to convince other people that being a Mormon was good (he make it pretty obvious by the end that he didn't believe their "nice family" routine was for real) - and that argument wouldn't have been as effective if they hadn't had convinced at least 1 person to convert to their religion. So, it might have well as been Randy, right? Considering he is probably the stupidest adult in the town. Also, considering it was a member of Stan's family they had converted - Stan had even more reason to hate Gary.
Besides, if you look at how quickly and sheep-like the townsfolk follow fads (Chinpokomon, metrosexuality, etc.), then it's not really THAT unrealistic that Randy changed his religion in no time. At least not by South Park standards, anyway...

I don't remember Dreamworks being the distributor of the first two seasons. I thought it was Warner Bros.

It probably was. I just remember reading somewhere that Dreamworks were respionsible, so don't quote me here or anything. Hell, I don't have the DVD's - they're not out in Australia yet - so I don't know.

Mr. Hankey will probably make a small appearance IF there is a Christmas episode (like he did in Red Sleigh Down), but I sure as hell hope they don't do an episode focusing on his family. They were so annoying!!!
Anyway, the new episode recently aired in America, right? What was it like?

By the way, in the promos for the episode, they showed Butters peeing in his pants, but it turned out that wasn't in the episode itself! What's up with that? Sometimes networks use deleted scenes (this was probably a deleted scene) as part of the promos, which for the record has nothing to do with the producers of the show generally. You may notice that lots of Simpsons promos have used deleted footage for whatever reason. In this case its a shame the gag wasn't there as Butters is possibly my favorite character. I finally saw the movie recently (taped it off Comedy Central) and goddamnit those songs won't leave my head. Great movie though, I must say I was a little shocked out good it was. Very interesting little commentary.

Originally posted by Evil Fox Exec: I cannot say whether this was a good or bad episode. While watching this episode, I ran into a similar problem that I encounter when watching certain Futurama or a Simpsons episodes. Namely, I wasn't familiar with the star that they were making fun of. I've heard of Rob Reiner before, but I don't know who he is or what he does. The same with me. I'm also not sure if portraying Reiner as a (former) chain smoker who has to eat all the time when not smoking was funny or not. I was expecting to see him smoke but that didn't happen. I did like the anti-smoking people in the beginning.

I know its off topic now but season 4 of south park was fantastic, possibly my favourite

I liked Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000, Tooth Fairy's Tats 2000, Timmy 2000, Quintuplets 2000, Cartman Joins NAMBLA, Trapper Keeper and Fat Camp. Also, Fingerbang, Fourth Grade and Do Handicapped Peopl Go To Hell had their moments. Still, Season 4 contained some REALLY shit episodes.
Season 6 is definately my favoutie season. Episodes 611-617 were some of the best episodes South Park had ever seen, and the first ten were brilliant too. Even the worst episodes of Season 6 were better than the worst episodes of other seasons, and that's what made Season 6 so damn good. That's my opinion anyway.

Couldn't agree more there, although I prefer the second half to the first half (not that the first half didn't have it's moments. Professor Chaos kicked ass! ) Still, Season 7 so far has become very forumlaric, and it has yet to top Season 6. However, it has had it's moments... http://www.angelfire.com/ab7/gumbercules/FYE.wav

I would have liked them to make more fun of the anti-smoaking advertisments... the ones that are aired via money from the tobacco companies.

opinion anyway. 'Chef goes nanners' is my favoirte episode ever,'wacky molestation' adventure is also absoloutley fantastic 'helen keller the musical' i also like'd a lot. 'pip' i think is brilliant as well. oh in fact i also like cheroke hair tampons and part 2 of do the handicapped go to hell called 'probably' oh hang on that just leaves the music chirstmas special, not that good admittedley could you be more specfic about which episodes you dont think were good because except the christmas one and quinteplets 2000 i think there all fantastic. (and the only reason i dont like quintplets as much is because I dont know what it refers to. also the christmas one isn't a normal episode.) as you say its opinion but i just didn't like the way you said you thought they were shit

as you say its opinion but i just didn't like the way you said you thought they were shit I didn't say I thought they were shit, I said that I thought it contained SOME shit episodes. Also, the music Christmas episode was from Season THREE, and Matt & Trey only did that because Mary Kay Bergman (the voice of all female characters on the show) sadly passed away a few weeks earlier, and they couldn't find a replacement in time. Since the voice clips for the songs had already been recorded before her death, they decided to do a Christmas special revolving around that. Mary Kay Bergman's tragic death is also the reason why most late Season 3 episodes didn't contain many female characters. The episodes I thought were shit was A Very Crappy Christmas (the one with Mr. Hankey's family) and Cherokee Hair Tampons. I didn't laugh once at either of them. Some of the Season 4 episodes I'm not too fond of (Pip, Do The Handicapped Go To Hell, Probably, Hellen Keller! The Musical, Whacky Molestation Adventure) just seemed really lame and boring to me. However, these episodes are all filled with references and parodies of things that I am not familiar with (Great Expectations, many specific things about religion, the Hellen Keller story, Mad Max, etc.) so you can see why I don't really find them that funny. There was also the Fingerbang episode and Fourth Grade. Both of which had their moments, but were brought down by several try-hard attempts at humour. Still, I loved Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000, Tooth Fairy Tats 2000, Quintuplets 2000, Timmy 2000, Cartman Joins NAMBLA, Chef Goes Nanners, Trapper Keeper and Fat Camp. I guess I was being a bit too harsh with Season 4 before, but still - it definately could've been a lot better. Also, Quintuplets 2000 was referencing the whole "Elian Gonzales" issue in early 2000. Do a Google search or something to get more information on it.
