South Park – Season 11

Archived review

This is the first time I've ever even considered reviewing this show because it's only in the past year or so I've realised exactly how amazing it can actually be when it hits the right notes. Yes, it's immature and puerile, but it can also be incredibly well-plotted and even life-affirming. So why do I not always give it much attention? It's just so hit-and-miss. With every With Apologies to Jesse Jackson> to give a well-deserved round of applause to, there's a More Crap to bring it right back down again. The biggest mistake in the most recent batch of episodes was to have three episodes dedicated to the Imaginationland concept. Whilst quite a good concept (and at times quite ambitious), the story finds trouble stretching to two episodes, let alone three. Still, the season ended well with an amusing (and if you've played the game, accurate) parody of the Guitar Hero phenomenon, as well as an entertaining look into the evil of little girls in The List. One of the few shows to luckily avoid the writers' strike, and hopefully they'll come up with a worthy parody whenever the show does return.
