The animated series is not for children. In fact, its goal seems to be to offend as many as possible as it presents the adventures of Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman. The show has taken on Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, politicians of every stripe and self-important celebrities. Oh, and Kenny is killed in many episodes.

Continuing to push at the envelope has its own problems, but Parker and Stone's greatest accomplishment has always been knowing that it's an ever-shifting target. Go to Full Review

"It Hits The Fan" is a very smart, funny piece of television, a worthy season opener, but it's also a calculated ratings stunt, something that was transparently intended to get people calling in to radio shows saying, "Can you believe this was on TV?!" Go to Full Review

It's horrifying and hilarious, and it's peak South Park. Go to Full Review
