collider.com/south-park-10-episodes-season-change/The new season will premiere on September 25th and instead be 10 episodes w/ NO break unlike the usual "do 7 in spring, stop, do 7 in fall, stop" routine. This gives Trey and Matt more to do with other things.

Wow...that's too bad. I almost look forward to that break. And less episodes is never fun.

Please let this mean more original stuff. If they try and shoehorn in any topical stuff that happens in this first half of the year I am going to scream.

They haven't been nearly as topical about things as they were in late season 12 and early season 13.
I think a lot of the problem lies in the set up of most episodes. Too many of them either focus on Cartman, Butters or Randy. They've gotten better about fleshing out Stan, Kyle and Kenny in recent years, but they don't even bother with Garrison who still has enough life in him to be compelling. There's also other characters you could develop more instead of go back to the old routine. Thankfully, I think even they got tired of doing the Cartman/Kyle rivalry they dealt with so often, and only use that sparingly now.
To be honest, I know they have a LOT of stuff going on now, but IMO, I always felt they produced their best material at times when they had other projects going on. When they were making the South Park movie and Team America, they produced some of the absolute best episodes.

Please no more Randy episodes. I am really getting sick of him.

hope this isn't the begining of the end. I know that they say that they have no intentions of stopoping it, but if they "don't miss it" while they work on their other projects maybe they will stop. when they worked on other projects they still worked hard because sp was "their baby"

Gah, no spring return. That stinks.
Although I will imagine this means a Christmas episode for the first time in a few years.

I'm honestly fine with a brony episode.
Can't be any weaker than how they handled wrestling fans

Yes there is an alien race of ponies plotting to take over the world by hypnotising the men, just like the Japanise used Chimpokmon as a plot to bomb Pearl Harber.

Are Bronies even known outside of Reddit, 4-Chan, geeky forums like wrestling, video games, metal forums? I swear everyone looks at me like I'm crazy when I say there is a big movement of males 18-36 watching My Little Pony? Plus it's something you really can't drag out a whole episode of since there isn't much to make fun of or write a story about. You can make a throwaway joke or Brony setting up the main story but that's about it

Can't be any weaker than how they handled wrestling fans the thing is, all of their "jokes" are really mean. I get enough crap from people on twitter for calling myself a brony. I don't want it from Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

It was all in good fun. It drives me nuts when people think South Park is funny until they make fun of whatever their "thing" is

I would take it as a badge of honor. I have a sense of humor, I can take it. If you can't laugh at yourself, than what does that say about you?

I'm a master of self-deprecation, but I don't like mean-spirited shit and don't tolerate it from anyone.

Ok, I will admit little knowledge of bronies. I have seen what I thought were joke avatars and sigs, in here w/my little ponies. I heard a piece about this trend on Howard Stern. If accurate, this is a disturbing trend. Could one of you fill in the blanks so I do not go around with the wrong idea? Thnx

Most of what Stern said was bullshit. It's nowhere near as bad
It's just what it is. People who like the show.
