THE fuck???

I can't believe that Adam Sandler movie is real. The ending was a real buzzkill, I don't know if it was supposed to mean the show was ending or that Matt or Trey (based on the episode I'm guessing Trey) is leaving but it sucks either way.

I thought the episode was done well. Honestly South Park's been past it's prime for a few years now. It seems like the right time to end things.

Wouldn't be totally surprised if they patched things up at the very beginning of the next episode.


Or maybe it will take up the rest of the season....

Or maybe....

Agreed with this. I can imagine that Matt and Trey are getting tired and running out of ideas. I feel like this is the perfect time to end it.

I'm honestly kind of surprised it lasted so long.

We can argue all day about this, but I've always thought the show jumped the shark when Mr. Garrison had the (first) sex change.

If it does end this season, I want closure in the way only those two can pull off. It really hasn't fully hit me that SP is on its last legs.

I think the decline in quality started in 12. I wouldn't say it jumped the shark, but the writing started to feel stale and plagued with repeated jokes.

But I mean the Simpsons jumped the shark in 97. Doesn't mean I won't be sad to see it go. Especially if it's out of the blue

How did the Simpsons jump the shark?

[jwicklun]

I think them killing off Maude was a jump the shark moment, but I still think that season was solid. I'd say season 14 is when the dip began for the Simpsons.

Ah, that episode. I agree that was a bit much. There have been some changes in the show that I think have been for the better (Milhouse's parents getting divorced) and what you just pointed out was the worst.

I agree with this statement.

[jwicklun]

I was watching The Itchy and Scrathy and Poochy episode, and the Simpsons did a great parody of those moments and fans' criticisms. Watching some of the newer episodes it seems like they are doing the same obscure moments (Selma adopting a baby, Milhouse's parents getting back together, and Fat Tony dying).

Yup died of heart attack. Jon Hamm was in the episode. What does this mean for Legs and Louie?!

[ImTheSheriff]

The simpsons were still very good past 97.
