According to the following ...

South Park is scheduled to be released on Blu-Ray.

Years ago I downloaded a couple South Park clips in Flash animation and noticed when I stretched the window to widescreen (16x9) the picture widened out too. There was information enough to fill the widescreen, though the sides occasionally lacked full picture elements.

Still, SP in HD. I'd get that. ;-)

The new Simpsons and King of the Hill were broadcast in HD last week. The Simpsons re-did their opening sequence in HD and is is amazing: http://www.tvweek.com/news/2009/02/sundays_simpsons_goes_hd_updat.php As far as I know Southpark is all standard definition. The new episodes still seem to be in 4:3 SD ratio: http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/

I was amazed how good the HD Simpsons and KotH was. I could read everything on background walls. There was so much more to see. Lets hope Southpark starts shooting in HD soon. The only issue I can see is Comedy Central may not be available in HD on many cable systems.

If the South Park cartoonists could draw in high definition they would have been doing it from day one. The only reason The Simpsons is in HD is because they use Korean cartoonists, who can draw finer lines.

Those Koreans...is there anything they can't do? For 50 cents per day?
