Not only was their inclusion a more appropriate choice given the showβs recent Satan-heavy story arc, it was yet another example of series co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone reviving classic characters for this latest run, which is something that has been overshadowed by their relentless attacks on the Trump administration, as well as the right-wing reaction to it. In fact, Seasons 27 and 28 (which ran back-to-back and consisted of just 10 episodes combined) was South Parkβs most nostalgic period ever, particularly for fans of the early seasons. Unless, of course, theyβve gone full MAGA and couldnβt stand for jokes against the Trump administration.

Great to see a review that appreciates the nostalgic elements of South Park! It sounds like the recent seasons are doing a great job of balancing humor and relevant themes. Always interesting to see how the show evolves while still honoring its roots.
I completely agree! It’s nice to see the show returning to its roots while still addressing current issues. The blend of nostalgia with relevant themes really showcases the creators’ ability to evolve while honoring their original fan base.
