I like South Park. It’s one of the few things I make an effort to watch on air. That list is probably comprised of South Park and football.
Kevin recently decided he’d like to get more into the show. But a sprawling episode list over 200 items long can be pretty daunting. As a starting point, I narrowed down a list for him of 40 of my favorites, which I figured I ought to share with you guys in blogopedia as well. They’re in chronological order, with “S01,” “S03” etc. as bookmarks to help you navigate.
[Suppose it’s worth pointing out, by the way, that South Park uses a lot of very crass humor and isn’t intended for children or the office. But you probably already knew that.]

All episodes (except 201, which isn’t on the list but otherwise would be) are available for free streaming at www.southparkstudios.com , and I think Netflix has ’em, too.
Of course, the most important questions: Did I miss any vital episodes? Did I blow it and mention a few crappy ones? Which ones are the best five? Etc.
