South Park is an American animated comedy created by Trey Parker and Matt
Stone for Comedy Central with the first episode airing in 1997. The show follows
the lives of four boys: Kyle Broflovski, Stan Marsh, Kenny McCormick, and Eric
Cartman in the fictional South Park, Colorado. South Park is written for a mature
audience and has generated a great deal of controversy since its inception. Creators
Parker and Stone have written, directed, and acted in most of the episodes.
Parker and Stone met in college and created the show based on two animated
shorts they conceived in the early 90s. Cutout animation was originally used before
it was replaced with computer software. South Park made a successful debut with
the highest ratings of any cable show. Also successful was the musical film South
Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, which was released in 1999.
The show has received a great deal of negative criticism for its insensitivity,
crudeness, and material on taboo subjects like sex, profanity, and religion.
Peggy Charren, founder of Action for Childrens Television, said that the show
was dangerous to the democracy. After an episode satirized the Islamic prophet
Muhammad, the shows creators received violent threats from the organization
Revolution Muslim. The show is also known for its cultural and political
references that have received widespread critical analysis, but it is mostly known
for its crude humor.
