    I hope South Park do a show about the lawyer complaining about some bloke praising her Linkedin photo. :)

    it's more about "PC" culture than anything. Caitlyn Jenner is used more as a plot device.

    Don't watch much CC these days so didn't see any trailers or know it was on.

    Cheers for the heads up.

    How many series and years has this clocked up, wow is it really that good, I used to get bored to tears when I watched this at my relatives house as a kid.

    Is Kenny actually dead yet and is Chef still in it?

    Isaac Hayes left. I think he had a bit of a mid-life crisis or just an overall change of heart after getting involved with Scientology and decided the show wasn't compatible with what he believed in any more and left.

    The episode where he was written out was very good indeed. They did leave it open - sort of - for him to come back, but he won't.

    Although I do seem to remember that Chef's final episode was made up of sound bites from previous episodes to make new dialogue.

    You guys say that seriously when the running gag is "they killed Kenny", he's had more comebacks then Eastenders returnees from the grave.

    Political Correctness is really just bullying in the guise of morality, and the episode did get that across very well.

    It was

    There was a lot of contradiction from Issac Hayes

    In early interviews, he had no issue with the scientology episode. But then did a total U turn and said it was bad and he pleaded against it. He then said he left the show because of that episode. Then he changed his mind and said he left due to money. Then changed his mind that he left due to ill health, as he suffered a stroke during the making of season 8. He would sadly have another stroke two years later, which killed him.

    Trey and Matt did say that Issac had no issue with the episode during production and were blind sided when he changed his mind. But they also said that Issac was being unfair because Issac never had no issue about all the other religions they had made fun of, but because it was a religion he was apart of, it was therefore unacceptable.

    I honestly think it was a stroke of genius making a Frat Boy "PC". They're probably the least "PC" people you'll ever see. Bro :)

    Randy getting his arse tattooed at the end and saying "Sweeeet" when he got his glasses made me laugh as well.

    Think this was a very good opener. Although i can't wait for (eventual) episode on Donald Trump's Presidential Campaign :D (and Hill Dog)

    I wasn't really impressed. I thought at points in the last season they made Cartman too OTT to often.
    This was the opposite. Maybe that was the point.


    I did think last season started of slow but gained momentum so I hope this one does the same.


    btw, I though the frat 'boy' looked more like Val Kilmer :D

    The scene that made me laugh out loud was when the boys visit Cartman in hospital

    Kyle:Your never going to call me a dirty jew again?
    Eric:No,i'm going to call you (slight pause) my friend
    Kyle: Oh,f*ck you

    It's just the way Cartman says my friend as he reaches his hand out.
