Great, now I have to catch the replay for this.
And if Matt and Trey are getting burned out, honestly, I don't blame them. To me the show hasn't felt as fun and loose the way it did during its earlier seasons, with the exceptions of the rare episode that didn't revolve around Randy being dumb or ranting about whatever was currently in the news.

I really, really, really don't want the series to end. I've been watching it since it's debut in 1997, I was 7. I'm 22 now, so it's been my child, teen, AND adult hood. I can't even fathom how I'll feel if they decide to end it soon.
But at the same time, I don't want them to overstay their welcome. Sure I've been watching since it's premiere, but I was still very young to not grow tired of them. Now that I'm older, I can understand that, and I don't want it to happen.
It's like a double-edged sword.
I don't even care if all this turns out to be a big joke from Matt and Trey, just the fact that they already have people talking about a possible conclusion to the series just goes to show how emotionally attached most of their viewers are to the show.
And just for the record, I like Stan. I like the whole main group, but Stan is the one I can connect to the most. Although I guess to Matt and Trey, he seems to be the most, what's the word, disposable (?), out of the main 4. The rest have long found their niche. Maybe this is just their way of of temporarily phasing out one of the main 4, to give more exposure to one of the more favorable kids who are not part of the main 4. Like when they killed off Kenny to give Butters his chance to shine. Maybe that's what they're doing here, and if I had to guess who's the "replacement", I'd say Jimmy. Just because.

Something that bugged me somewhat was the return of Mrs. Cartman being submissive to Eric's demands again. The last time they interacted, she was telling him off and showing no mercy after he threw a fit about not getting a iPad.

unless i missed something, why is everyone acting like this is the end of SP? Or that Matt and Trey are bored with the show? It was well reported that this was just the end of the first half of the season. later in the year like normal they will pick up with more episodes.

Well, after "Tsst", Liane (Mrs. Cartman) doesn't have anyone else left to please but Eric, so she continues to spoil him. But I agree, I enjoyed her not giving in to his demands in the last couple episodes. Maybe now she's going to be doing a little bit of both?

I'd hate to see it end since it's my favourite show on TV, But if Matt & Trey are getting burned out on South Park then it's best to end it now while it's still great (Well to me it is).
I'd rather it end on a high than just going through the motions and it becoming a empty unfunny shell of a show (*Cough* Simpsons *Cough*).

Though, Alexander the Great didn't conquer everything. He didn't reach the America's, and him versus the Indians would have been a PPV main event in any Deadliest Warrior event.

Here's most of the ending for those who didn't see it. (At least until it's removed)
(Contains fecal matter if it's a problem)

He fought one battle against the Asian Indians, his army said "f*** this" and stopped.

I can see that maybe they are saying the show is coiming to an end, or even over. But I should think that they have contracts in place to at least finish the season.
My money is on Stan being gone. If/when the show returns, Stan written out for a season ala Kenny when he died for ages might be a decent idea.
Then again, maybe that really is the end. I'd accept that. Be sad. But accept it, as it was a very good ending.

Throw in the fact that it's incredibly stressful on them and their team due to the short production schedule, a massive hit on Broadway and that they've been doing it for 15 years now and it's not hard to see why they would be a little tired of doing it.

Season 15 is getting a lot of flack from fans, so maybe Stan represents the fans, and not Trey as some have suggested. The long time SP fans are perhaps getting too old for the show (I still love it though), and it's time to move on and let others enjoy it without being cynical about it.

I never liked Stan or Randy anyways. Arivaderci baby. This gives more screen time to Kyle and Ike.

My guess is that they're sick of the formula of South Park but they still have a lot of creative juice left so they took out the main component (Stan) and now the show will be about the town and various stories in it (like last week's episode not involving the main kids). I think it allows them a lot more creativity and freedom and should reinvigorate the show.
Or I'm completely wrong and they'll give us all the big "f*** you" when it comes back in October. Either way, I'll be watching.

That never made sense to me. Why don't they just bang out the 14 episodes in the season early in the year and just sit back and chill? They don't have to do their current production schedule of pretty much making each episode the freaking week they air. They can still be topical without making the episodes on the production schedule that they do.

That is, of course, unless something has changed. If this season is the end, I wonder how much the 200/201 controversy has to do with it. How much strain did that put on the relationship of Comedy Central and Matt and Trey? That might have something to do with it, since Comedy Central really didn't stand behind Matt and Trey. Jon Stewart stood behind them, and called out Comedy Central executives on The Daily Show. But outside of Jon Stewart, they didn't get much support from Comedy Central. For crying out loud, The Simpsons gave them more support. One thing's for sure, Matt and Trey have gotten a lot of people talking. The ending was such a departure from what we're used to on South Park, hell the main plot was such a departure. They got people talking in a good way. As a reminder, what was the 200/201 controversy again? Was that when they actually put in the image of the Prophet Muhammad only for Comedy Central to blank it out at the last minute?
