If Trey and Matt decide to end the show following the fall episodes for season 15, I will respect their decision even though it would suck having one of my all time favorite shows end.
If/when they do end it I would hope/think that they go "balls to the wall", pull no punches and take no prisoners and go out with a HUGE bang with some sort of multi-part episode as they owe it to their fans to do so and not go out with a whimper. I trust them and don't think it ever would go out with a whimper. I am sure they would make a huge deal out of ending their show.

And then at the very end of the very end, Muhammed walks out on screen and says "Well, it's been a great fifteen years. Bye, everybody!"

Tbh if it is the end I'd be pleased
The last couple of seasons have been (IMO) really poor overall because most of the time its "Oh what are they trying to parody this week" but in terms of an entire season being consistantly good I don't think its been that way since season 10ish
Kept watching because, c'mon its South Park and always the chance of a great episode once in a while
This season however (even including most of this weeks episode) has been really really poor and I'll probably stop watching even if it does continue on

I liked the last episode. It had a message relative to their position and ours. We all grow up and it is hard for all of us.
It was emotional and I hadn't felt emotionally attched to a South Park Episode since they killed Kenny in 03. If the show stops in the fall they have nothing to hang their heads about and we should all be greatfull for what we had while it lasted.

I actually thought South Park had managed to do a good job up until season 14 when it became too much topical jokes in a too regimented format. If that last episode is any indication in a changing of the paradigm of the show in the last half season than I am all for it. Shake things up really play around with the structure of the show for the last 7+ episodes in the fall. I don't know if they would want to exercise their option to do season 16. But if the quality of the show was to be the same as its been in recent years I wouldn't be sad to see it go. South Park doesn't need to be the Simpsons and drag on forever with decidedly lower quality.

Eh, I haven't fully felt that magic all season long since 2005.
For every gem ("The Death of Eric Cartman", The Imaginationland saga), there'd be either an episode where they targeted something that really didn't deserve that much venom ("The Ring"), an episode where the message was beaten over my head ("Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow", "Smug Alert"), or just an unwatchable mess ("Scrotie McBoogerballs", "Eek A Penis").

Well, if it ends I'll be sad as f***. I love this show. Each and every season, even the ones I don't love as much are still better than pretty much anything else on for me. I really really like there commentary and would like to see it keep going. Matt and Trey are easily my favorite artists. Since I can't even think of justifying the expense of a trip to see their Broadway play this would seriously kick my ass if they end things. I'd respect it, since as with all their episodes, I see what they are saying. If its how they feel, its how they feel. It'd still suck for me and I hope they don't really end it.

If they end the show, I will be so pissed off only because I am watching the Tonys tonight, and I need them to mercilessly rip them like they did Emmys and Oscars.

I watched the first part of season 15 today. The last full episode I watched was the pirate one from a few seasons back. And I just watched Episode 7 of Season 15 which was a great episode, especially the ending. If they end the show this year it will suck. I've been a fan since season 1 and while the show has some lackluster episodes every now and then, when they do an episode right it works. But with that said, if they do end it i'll be glad. If Trey and Matt and the rest of the crew feel they can't maintain then it is better to just stop instead of trying to drive it too far.

I don't buy that this is the end of the show. I can't see comedy central being completely quiet and letting the message of the show ending be entirely done through an episode. I would definitely believe that the show will be dramatically altered story wise. Trey and Matt have control over South Park that let's them mess with the show's settings in ways that other show creators wouldn't dare do.

Without getting into territory that would merit any sort of Mod-like attention..... The idea is that EVERYTHING is fair game. The basic thing that pisses me off is the idea is that you're telling people that a specific topic/sacred cow is beyond mockery. To expect that it won't be mocked is like going to a Don Rickles show and expect not to be insulted.....South Park is an "Equal-oppertunity offender" poking holes in strawmen on BOTH sides of most debates and basically saying that it's up to the individual to make up thier own minds; you can't be thin-skinned and have "extreme" ideas. Comedy Central made an executive decision to censor the episode, as was thier perogotive, and Matt and Trey had the perogative to not renew thier contracts if they so desired. Hell, maybe one of the conditions is little to no network interference which oddly enough may also be another reason for the extremely quick turnaround time. That was actually part of the whole problem to Matt and Trey. In that same episode, they made Buddha do lines of coke and had Jesus watching porn, but they get censored when they try and do something with Muhammad. That's incredibly hypocritical of Comedy Central. Also, it was Comedy Central being intimidated. Rather than saying to the group that made the threat "Screw you, we're going to show the episode how Matt and Trey want it to be shown." Comedy Central allowed themselves to be intimidated by someone, they allowed themselves to be pushed around. That was some of the backlash on Comedy Central, for not standing up to that group.

i just hope that if this is the end of the show, its not the end of south park. in other words, maybe we'll get movies (like sex and the city, but only good) or tv specials

Honestly, I think if they do one more movie than that should be the finale of the series. Stretching it out to specials and such seems excessive.

Matt and Trey were just on the Daily Show. I can't recap the whole interview but they said while the last episode did mirror the way they felt, they were surprised when people were asking them if they were okay and if the shows ending. They said they love South Park and are coming back in the fall.

They said they love South Park and are coming back in the fall. see, this mixed messaging has me somewhat optimistic. Yes things might be viewed as crappy, but they love south park, and its a part of them,so I think this will relate to the storyline in that even though Stan thinks things surround his life (friends, and family are immature and crappy), those things and his shennanigans are a part of him, and thus will suck it up and keep on going and accept it. IDK maybe I'm just in denial

A perfect end to this storyline would be for Cartman, Kyle, and Kenny to turn 10 over the summer as well and start to see everything the way Stan does.
That way, they can go back to being the group of four that's kind of on the fringes with the other boys, kind of like elitists who think they know better than everyone else and are disliked because of it (the whole Pandemic two-parter sort of bears this out).
It's just a quick-fix if they wanted to get back to the status quo and also make fun of other things they might find shitty, come October.
