was it when kenny character was retired, or was it after the movie?
I missed last years season, but I caught the show a few times this season and it seriously sucks now. About as funny as watching a SNL skit that has gone into double digit minutes.
when did southpark jump the shark?

Cogent opinions for someone using the term "jump the shark."

****Useless trivia.**** The term "jump the shark" originated from the series Happy Days. The term came about from an episode where the Fonz put on water skis and jumped over a shark for a stunt. That moment in Happy Days was considered the point where the show started its down hill slide and was using extreme situations to try and garner some ratings. Typically, popular shows that add a new child (like the Cosby Show or Growing Pains) or experience a major change in the characters' lives (Joe and Helen getting married in "Wings") for no other reason than to get ratings are considered as having "Jumped the Shark."

Yes, but that term itself has been used SO often lately in terms of EVERYTHING that people have started to think whomever uses it is a complete and total buzzword retard.
And they are.
I don't think SP has "Jumped the shark" sure there might have been a few bad(or forgettable) episodes but all in all SP has been pretty good
Even with "bad" eps I uusually can find something funny that makes me genuinely laugh(usually the laugh ranks from a good laugh to LMAO)

Gee, maybe that's why I began the post with ***Useless Trivia*** instead of something like ***The most important fact you'll ever learn***. I thought some people would like to know where the phrase originated from, since it is getting used with more and more frequency now a days. Man, some people sure are hostile.

I downloaded "I'm a little bit country" somewhere on the www, it wasn't so bad, they stumbled a lot with Kenny's death/retirement but not a definitive jump the shark http://www.jumptheshark.com/s/southpark.htm
Homever, I don't know if you remember Mark and Rebecca, 2 over-protected children, they should have do an other cameo appearance and also it's been a long while then we didn't see a new episode with Pip beating the dust.

I don't know what you were smokin when you watched the new episodes, but the rest of us think they're frickin halarious. Although it is a little different with Kenny not getting killed every episode...
Well, why bother with you, then? Between the Joosians and Cartman's hand giving Ben Affleck a blowjob, the season's in fine shape. John Edward IS The Biggest Douche in the Universe. "Bush is a Nayzee."

Season 6 was terrible, IMO. The entire season was boring and just plain not funny. Season 7 however, has re-emerged with the old "spark" that made South Park hilarious in the first place. There has been a few stinker episodes in season 7, such as 702 (Krazy Kripples), but over all it's been solid so far.
Seasons 3 and 4 were the best, by far, but if the rest of the episodes are as good as 705, things are really looking up.
I tuned in a few nights ago and I dunno if it was a repeat from season 6, but it sucked as bad as a 20 minute SNL skit. I watched something like 8 minutes of cartman thinking he was Mr. Garrison complete with hand puppet and turned of the tv. It had dragged on at least 5 minutes too long.

Dude, there's only been 6 episodes so far this "season." How could there already be a few stinker episodes? AFAIAC, all of them are golden.
This season has kicked ass- better than any of them. I guess Norman Lear is exactly what Matt and Trey needed to revitalize themselves.

Like I said, Krazy Kripples. Terrible, terrible, terrible episode. I like Jimmy, in fact, he's one of my favorite characters on the show, but a whole show based on him does NOT work. His act is funniest when it's relegated to minor spots and not overused.
And Timmy has just gotten old and tired.
While Season 7 is good so far, it is nowhere NEAR the level of 3 or 4.
aw come on he hasn't had anything major since "Red Sleigh Down"(singing(?) the Twelve Days Of Christmas")

Ummm, ok. "Red Sleigh Down" was the last episode of season 6. "Krazy Kripples" was the 2nd episode of season 7.
Yeah, Jimmy hasnt done anything major in a while. Right.

South Park increasingly relies on making fun of celebrities or putting the characters into scenes from other movies, although they've always done this.
For instance, in "The Brown Noise", Yoko Ono and Kenny G are lampooned, but if you never heard of them, the episode would still stand on its own. In the Jennifer Lopez episode, you have to know all about her and Ben Affleck, as well as the movie reference to the face painted on Cartman's hand. The episode does not stand on its own.
This is NOT true of the John Edward episode. You don't have to know who he is -- it was explained and illustrated and was masterfully done. The J-Lo episode was just easy, stupid celebrity bashing that plays to people who make it a point to keep up with celebrity gossip.

You know, there's a real simple solution for you. If you think the show "sucks" then don't watch it. I quit watching SNL regularly after the Dennis Miller/Mike Meyers/Phil Hartman/Norm MacDonald set of NRfPT Players left the show because it started to suck. Its like that guy that listens to an offensive radio talk show and calls in to tell them that he doesn't like listening to the show. Just reach over and change the channel.
That's crazy talk.
