For the first time in 19 seasons, South Park is politically correct.
Here’s our season premiere review…
But its not my job to assess that, its Matt Stone and Trey Parkers.

Out with Principal Victoria and in PC Principal ushers in a new era at South Park Elementary.
Beyond the cosmetic changes,South Parkcontinues to show a self-awareness that has kept it relevant across 258 episodes.
How many comedians have gotten in trouble over the last year for insensitive tweets or misfired jokes?
South Parkhas mostly avoided the PC backlash.
For one, its an animated comedy, which typically dont drawn the same scorn as live-action.

Matt and Trey are still better at that than anyone else on making animated comedy right now.
