First seasons of South Park were kinda shit imo - leaned almost entirely on swearing and things like poop jokes for their humor. There's an audience for that to be sure, but... meh. Then they had a golden era of some outsanding satire - that shit was great. Then it kinda fizzled back to just swearing and poop jokes for a bit.

Previous poster is one of many saying the recent seasons made a comeback, which is awesome to hear. I'm in the same boat you are - kinda clocked out... at least 5 years ago, idr the last time I watched a full episode. Sounds like I've got some catching up to do.
