Some of the newer South Park fans wont appreciate that, in order to stay "fresh", you have to continue to change what you do. If South Park would have stayed the way it was during the older seasons, it would have been lucky to make it to Season 10. But, because it evolved, expanded it's audience, and stayed topical it is now on it's way to Season 20.

That being said, I think the quality of the show is increasing. There's no reason to think that it's not. The animation is getting better, with improved technologies, and the stories have more and more of a deeper meaning, that is missed on a lot of viewers. I agree with this part of your statement, but I go in wanting something but not expecting it. I feel that this season didn't do enough for me to want to sit down and watch this season. It's funny that you brought up "Going Native" because that was my least favorite episode because I feel it failed as a Butters episode but it did have some great qualities to it. The Kenny voice overs were great and the fact that people who have rewards cards feel they're native Hawaiians. Other than that, the episode wasn't that good. I agree that South Park has changed over the many years it has been on television and i like that fact. Both versions are great but the problem and the whole reason for creating this thread is that this season, as I've stated before, didn't do enough. With that being said, there were some great episodes! "Jewpacabra", "Butterballs" (A good Butters episode), "I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining", "Cartman Finds Love", "Insecurity", "A Nightmare on Facetime" and "A Scause For Applause". I usually like more episodes than just seven. From the technological standpoint, I feel like the new episodes are high quality! I loved the 3D animation in "I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining", and in the previous seasons (i.e. Mecha Streisand 2010, Cthulhu, Snow from "Royal Pudding".) I'm not someone who looks for just comedy in a comedic show, I just want to be entertained in some fashion, be it comedy or story or what have you. I just feel this season wasn't, you know, doing it. With me saying the same thing for the third time, I also feel it could of been from the video game coming out next year, which, in turn, makes me want the game even more! Sad to say, but I predict that, just like the show, the game will be finished very close to the deadline and could effect Season 17A. This last season did focus more on topical news, so that may have had an effect on some of the overall plots. The number one moment for me this season was the bullying video from "Butterballs" because who doesn't like music? If we had more moments like that, it would be repetitive, but I would still like it. In essence, I feel that this season could have done better.
