Comedy Central didn’t just buy them out and the show.
they SAVED comedy central. It was a nothing channel until South Park.
I think the issue is that Matt and Trey are desperately tired of doing South Park but they’re getting thrown such obscene levels of cash to pump out half an episode every few months that they just can’t.
After 20 or 30 years it must be so boring to keep doing the same shit. Hell the ad campaign for season 20-ish was “Cancel South Park”
And The Office. With Trevor Noah leaving TDS, it took away a huge anchor they had, and unless they find someone who can make the show their and make it as good as Jon Stewart, John Oliver or Trevor made it, then they’re gonna play hell keeping it as a solid draw. He’ll, I used to never miss it, now I’ve been ambivalent about catching it at the regular time, I’ll just watch it later streaming.
That’s what it sounded like to me at the time, but then they just mocked the concept of “cancelling” things that aren’t TV shows, like a small town. And South park continued, and I stopped worrying about it. The 6 episode seasons are a worse omen.
I agree partially. I think they still have an interest in doing South Park, just not 10-18 episodes a year like they used to. A lot has changed for them in the last 26+ years. They’re older, they have a family, kids. South Park just isn’t top priority anymore. Which is fine. I’m happy to get what we’re getting. They can still put out some great episodes once in a while

All CC has is new south park
Everything else is reruns and that also includes south park.
South park, Seinfeld and Parks and Rec reruns is 90%+ of CC

You think the cancel South Park bitwas a literal “please we don’t want to do this show anymore” cry for help?
