Look at this list of the original Twilight Zone episodes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Twilight_Zone_(1959_TV_series)_episodes 36 episodes a season, and every week meant EVERY GODDAMN WEEK. Christmas, New Year's Day, what the gently caress ever. Of course it basically killed everyone involved, but details details.

You think that's bad, the Koreans work themselves to death for entertainment. I think Running Man gets about 50 episodes a year alongside the casts other TV shows, bands etc. I honestly don't understand how they do it.

Asian work ethics is terrible, it's generally heavily skewed toward employees putting the needs of the company before their own needs or the needs of friend and family. It's fairly common in Japan and South Korea for people to literal work themselves to death doing basic office jobs. Asian company executives, especialy Japanese one, are renowned for black-listing employees they dislike, which basically means they're unemployable until the executive says otherwise.

It's fairly common in Japan and South Korea for people to literal work themselves to death doing basic office jobs. Asian company executives, especialy Japanese one, are renowned for black-listing employees they dislike, which basically means they're unemployable until the executive says otherwise. I live in Taiwan: there's a common understanding here in local/traditional companies that workers don't leave until the boss leaves. So most employees are at work from 8am the start of the day until after 10pm in some cases depending on when the boss chooses to roll in and then subsequently leave. A friend of a friend came over from Europe as the lead coder for one of the major brands here, I think it was Abit, anyway he was used to making his own hours so he said on Monday he came in at 1pm and stayed in his office till around 4am(because he's one of those creative types that just dives into their work and only pops their head out when they run out of coffee), he said at 2am he went out and found that everyone who was in the office at 1pm was still there. He thought that was a little strange but whatever. Slowly he said throughout the week people started figuring out that he didn't give a gently caress and by the end of the week everyone was gone by 6pm having arrived at 8am. Theoretically, you should be able to get more work out of your employees but most people here spend their day browsing Facebook or playing mobile games waiting for something to do because there's generally more people than work. Of course no matter how many reports and studies you should them suggesting that people that work less tend to have more energy and produce higher quality work; well that's irrelevant because those are probably Western studies and thus not applicable to Asian work environments. You're also expected to be available at any time should the boss call you. I was dating a girl who got a call from her boss at 9pm on a Friday night in the middle of a typhoon, who demanded that she Skype one of her clients because the boss 'had a bad feeling'. She couldn't get a hold of him and at 10pm called her boss back and told him she couldn't get in contact and her boss demanded she keep trying. Around 10:30 with the wind pounding on our windows, she finally got a hold of him and the dude was super pissed that she was interrupting his Friday at home with his family to make sure he was happy with their service. Of course when she called her boss back, the guy was angry she'd upset her client. Her job was selling probiotics. Needless to say that most foreigners I know here can't handle it at a local company for more than a few months. To bring this back to South Park; the episode where Mr.Kim hired child labor to work at City Wok was a lot funnier having lived in Asian where child labor is basically expected of family members.

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:Yea, I don't get it either. If you get to the point where you don't like Randy episodes, maybe you somehow lost your South park spirit? Randy Marsh Adventures have always been hit or miss for me because it comes down to whether or not his indulgence is entertaining (Medicinal Fried Chicken) or grating (More Crap). Randy's making out with the Native American to try and get his DNA in his mouth so he could be part Native was good, but the rest of it was kind of a miss. Sir Lemming posted:Y'all do know there's been plenty of recent controversy over Columbus, right? It's nothing entirely new (there are places that have been calling it "Indigenous Peoples Day" for a while now), but it's picking up steam with the whole Confederate statue thing. I'm waiting for people to protest cities named Columbus.

The annoying thing is Matt and Trey don't take the extra week to refine the next episode or brainstorm or anything. They just... don't work, so they can churn out the next one entirely next week.

They've tried that countless times and more often than not the episodes they spend more time on turn out to be if not the least popular ones, then ones they themselves dislike. Pretty much all the fan-favorites are ones they manage to just barely finish.

More Crap is awesome, Medicinal Fried Chicken is grating. Randy is best, though, when he's not the focus. Best Randy episode is The Losing Edge.

And there were more great episodes made in the past than after the switch to the one and done. Really, the main problem was going almost entirely topical.

As I said; ongoing storylines and continuity are one thing, highly topical episodes are another. But both at once, based on ongoing real life events they have no control over, were a recipe for disaster.

And if they wanted an ongoing storyline, they needed to write that over months rather than week to week.
