They simply took the same 1080i HD master used for the television broadcast for the Blu-ray Disc. Thankfully, CBS Video did remaster the audio in DTS-HD MA.

Southpark is ANIMATED in 30 frame per second. I DON'T want them to FAKE a 1080p/24 just for the sake of it. I hate when they modify the framerate it was originaly animated in. If the Blu-ray Spec would include 30p it would be a problem, but they didn't and it was the only shortcoming of blu-ray vs HD DVD (witch had 30p in it's spec and used it a couple of times).

Old HD tv show were shot in 1080i Digitally sometime, they were the first Digital Cam for Tv show , they were cheap. Some were shot when film, so that's fine, others in 1080i (natively).

If you have a good Blu-ray player that do 1080i to 1080p correctly. You'll end up with a perfectly fine 1080p/60 (witch is a 2:2 30p transfert). Off course one of the only processor that can do it correctly is the REON or GENOM and Blu-ray player with it are rare now...

Btw Star Trek is CBS too and since it was SHOT in Film it's 1080p/24 because it's his native framerate
