Trivia:

During the opening credits for the first two seasons, Kenny said something extremely crude. Trey Parker and Matt Stone were able to get away with this because his voice was muffled and very few people could make out what he was saying.

Goofs:

Continuity: Clyde's last name was Goodman in early seasons, but the more recent seasons changed it to Harris. In early merchandise, he was called Clyde Donovan, but this was never verbalized on the show.

Quotes:

Interviewer: So, are you guys as anti-Semitic as some might believe?
Matt Stone: You know, a lot of people have accused South Park of anti-Semitism, but I'm Jewish, and so I can say with some certainty that I am not anti-Semitic.
Trey Parker: I am, however.

Too good!

This show is great! The first series was very good, but then it dropped off a little in Series 2 and 3, however the introduction of Butters, Timmy and Ms. Choksondik has made the series much much better. A great improvement has been made to series 4 and series 5 is even better.

The Simpsons maybe everyones favorite family, but this show is improving and quite frankly the Simpson's plots are getting worse.

South Park already has a movie (quite successful and a good laugh) and it hasn't finished it, unlike the apparent rumors that The Simpsons will be finished when the movie is being made.

How the kids respond to Kenny's death now has been improved, so you don't put up with "Oh my god, they killed Kenny" every week.

To finish, great show hope it goes on.
