The controversial cartoon gained a devoted cult following for its wonderfully unabashed assaults on dull sitcom formula and politically correctness. Goofy construction-paper cutouts acting as characters, its writing is hilariously shocking & pushes the envelope of good taste off the table. Episodes explore through the point of view of four foul-mouthed yet lovable 8 yr olds. They include level-headed co-leaders Stan & Kyle; the fat, terminally ticked-off, & hysterical Eric Cartman; & the hooded, incoherent Kenny (who dies in every episode). It's stuffed with toilet humor, graphic violence, and profanity, but South Park also cleverly subverts TV clichés, and acts as a scorching satire of America's hypocritical attitudes toward social problems like racism, homophobia, jingoism, neglectful parenting. The finest example is "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride." When Stan's dog, Sparky, begins showing signs of homosexuality, the boys can't cope and try to change his nature until he finally runs away to a gay pet sanctuary. Meanwhile, Parker "& Stone underscore the social ignorance by mirroring this with a huge, macho football game that demands all of the town's interest. Rarely has gay commentary been this pointed or clever on television. "Weight Gain 4000," while humorous, is the weakest of the early episodes and displays the show's unfortunately repeated fixation with celebrities and popular culture. As the town prepares for the arrival of Kathy Lee Gifford, one of her bitter former classmates prepares to settle an old score, Taxi Driver-style.
