I knew it was Cartman who made that call. Wasn't it obvious?

South Park bites off more than it can chew in an uneven premiere https://trib.al/un8aHTf

South Park's Season 23 premiere combining ICE, a vaping ban and "Mexican Joker" surprisingly worked

"Throughout its decades-long run, South Park has earned its keep by weaving together various cultural threads, current events, and memes of the week," says Laura Bradley. "But in recent years it’s gotten a little lost, especially with its more political story lines. In many ways this season’s premiere feels comparable to last year’s mass-shooting episode, in which Trey Parker and Matt Stone seemed to find more focus than the show had mustered in a couple years. Both last year’s premiere and this one regard undeniably grave, serious issues with a striking amount of focus—especially for a series that often spreads itself thin. Even better: With this premiere, Stone and Parker proved they actually have something to say." ALSO: The point of this episode is muddled, and might not be sending the right message about immigrants seeking asylum.

South Park's Season 23 premiere was down 26% from last year, but still dominant among cable comedies

About 1.9 million watched last week's premiere, down from the 1.4 million who tuned in last year. South Park's demo ratings made it among the top cable comedies of this year.
