South Park is back! Season 18 begins Wednesday, September 24 and runs through Wednesday, December 10th, although there will not be a new episode the week of Thanksgiving.

In case you're unaware (have you been living under a rock?), South Park is a television cartoon for adults that chronicles the adventures of four foul-mouthed boys who live in the fictional town of South Park, Colorado. If you've never seen it (seriously?), you can watch the entire series at South Park Studios, although not for much longer -- but we'll get to that in a second.

So what's happened since last year?



South Park: The Stick of Truth
If you haven't played the game and you like the show, you should really check this out. Developed by Obsidian with a script supplied by Matt and Trey, it's essentially a Japanese RPG parody where-in you play the new kid in town - and you can decide how your character looks, which influences the dialog. It's loving hilarious, so go play it now.


Hulu
Hulu signed in a deal (in the US) for exclusive rights to digital distribution of the full back catalogue. So unfortunately sometime in the near future, some of the old episodes will go behind the paywall for US users. But good news, the newest five (or so) episodes will continue to be available in HD for free on South Park Studios, along with a rotating catalogue, on a variety of devices (even mobile). This is actually an improvement, as it used to be that the new episode was only available for about 7 days, went away, and then re-appeared as part of the back catalogue after a month or so.


Anyway, onto season 18!
Today during the Washington Redskins game, South Park ran a trailer promoting the season premiere, which you can see on YouTube here, mocking the recent name controversy. I'll post more details on the new episode as soon as they're available.

After Cartman and the boys name their new company, The Washington Redskins, they just sit back and watch the funding roll in. The head coach of the Washington Redskins football team demands that they change the name but Cartman digs in his heels. The Washington Redskins may never mean the same thing ever again.

The all-new episodes from this season are available in HD exclusively on Hulu and South Park Studios the day after they premiere. The episodes are also available for purchase in SD and HD on Amazon Instant Video, iTunes, XBOX Live, Google Play, Sony Entertainment Network and Vudu.

The series airs Wednesday nights at 10:00 p.m. and repeats later that night at midnight (all times ET/PT). “South Park” season 18 will begin rolling out on Comedy Central channels internationally in October.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are the co-creators of “South Park.” Parker, Stone, Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II are the Executive Producers of the Emmy® and Peabody® Award-winning “South Park.” Eric Stough, Adrien Beard, Bruce Howell and Vernon Chatman are Producers. “South Park’s” Web site is SouthPark.cc.com.

As a Redskins fan, watching that ad during the game be that incredibly goddamn blatant about going "gently caress you, Redskins" was equal parts startling and hilarious. I hope this episode lives up to that promise.

So is South Park Studios about to be pay-only? What was posted about Hulu sounds like what Adult Swim does online.

e- And the flagrant use of the Redskins Team of Football Players Based Just Outside Washington, DC logos because of the trademark being lifted. :lol:

South Park's got a great opportunity to skewer the name controversy here and I hope they don't (pardon the pun) fumble it.

If this ends on "Native Americans have the right to be offended, but where the gently caress were the rest of you 30 years ago? Go screw yourself, Harry Reid", I will be impressed.

Bonus points if Cartman gets a letter from Congress.
