South Park

Original Air Date: 1997-Present

Network: Comedy Central

Very few shows -- animated or not -- have been on for 12 seasons and still retain the relevance and entertainment value of South Park. Episodes alternate between sharp satirical looks at society to pop culture parodies to scatological humor, sometimes all within the same half-hour. Seemingly unafraid to take on any subject, Matt Stone and Trey Parker have created a forum for their opinions that's unfiltered and raw, making some of the freshest comedy currently on the air.

The show's incredibly fast production schedule allows Parker and Stone to write and produce episodes almost up to the day they air, something unheard of in the animation genre, where it normally takes months to produce a half-hour episode. The show's style, while looking like stop-motion construction paper cut-outs, is animated completely on computers. Sometimes the style even changes to fit the episode's content, such as the anime sequences in season eight's "Good Times with Weapons" and the World of Warcraft-style sequences in season 10's "Make Love, Not Warcraft."

No matter your sense of humor, political stance, or lifestyle, there's bound to be aSouth Park episode that makes you laugh, infuriates you, or just plain offends. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
