My least favourite SP episode is of course, "A Million Little Fibers" followed by "Bloody Mary".

However, I don't hate everything about it and there are actually some things I love about it. Season 10's "Tsst" is not only easily the best South Park episode, it's one of the greatest TV episodes ever. None of what I just said at the start of this post applies to this episode. I bought Season 10 on DVD just so I could own this episode. My next favourite episode (well, double-episode), "Cartoon Wars", is not only incredibly spot-on in it's observations of Family Guy and King of the Hill, it manages to make me laugh quite hard, even when I respect Family Guy so much for featuring the freshest humour I've seen on TV since maybe Blackadder.

I respect Matt and Trey greatly for sharing an admiration for The Simpsons. Some other things I like about it: While it's maybe not as daring as Drawn Together, which all round is a brilliant show, South Park is still daring, even if some things are done in incredibly poor taste - and I mean that in the most unfriendly way possible; and last but not least, South Park is gay-friendly, which I could not like or respect more about it.

I never thought I would hear "Drawn Together" and "brilliant show" in the same sentence. the same goes for "Family Guy" and "Fresh Humor" (the monkey in the closet, Peter fighting the big chicken, and random pop culture refrences or gags that don't help push the story along).
