It's hard to believe that South Park celebrates 10 years on screen this year. Who would have thought that the crude and foul-mouthed antics of Stan, Kenny, Kyle and Cartman would still be on air a decade after it started? It's had a particularly odd history here in the UK, where it originally had a coveted Friday night prime time spot on one of the big terrestial channels and became a bit of a cultural phenomenon. The merchandise was massive and the nation was flooded by 1o year olds (who shouldn't have been watching) wearing the T-shirts and shouting "Oh My God! They Killed Kenny!". The conservative press had a field day about this latest filth from a Foreign Land (worse than that, America even) that was corrupting our youth. That didn't stop it launching a Number 1 Single and Movie though. However the novelty wore off - possibly due to a dip in quality from the second series on, but I've never been brave enough to go back and check... Ans so it's time slot got later and later and these days it's not on terrestial TV at all, and has found a new home on satellite and cable. However those in the know will tell you that it long ago got over it's quality dip, got back on form and is in fact is better than ever. It still knows how to cause a fuss (witness the contreversy over the Tom Cruise episode) and the incredibly juvenile humour disguises the fact that it's actually one of the Smartest satires on TV- albeit one that primarily works through the medium of toilet humour. So if you're one of those who gave up on it years ago. why not give it another try? Bet you'll be glad you did...
