What the hell happened to "South Park"?
As it turns out, a couple of things. Number one: the show got too big.
I don't mean too big in terms of popularity. I mean their stories got too big. It seems like every episode now climbs to a life and death situation on the cusp of Armageddon (or at least the end of the town).
