Can we all agree that South Park is the best sitcom?

South Park is just plain good satire, entertaining and funny. I'd also rate King of the Hill right up there with it.

I guess if you are 15-25 it might be...I never liked it and think its just horrible. I dont "get" it...I do,however like American Dad,Family Guy,Simpsons,King Of The Hill,and Futurama..but South Park?? eh..

South Park isn't a sitcom but it is great.

No it's not. It's an adult comedy. Not a sitcom.

I started watching the first four seasons of the series and I can't remember how many times I laugh at each episode. I mean most of the episodes are really good and it involves controversial topics hence why it's humorous. The plot is often unpredictable and the characters are consistent comparable to other shows. Do you agree? What does OT think of South Park?

There is little to no character development, and no developing story besides an occasional double episode special.

The humor is derived from it making fun of a cultural or news subject, not the characters themself.

Its just satire like Family Guy, that just has recurring characters.

you obviously do not watch south park (don't know why you're commenting on it then), there is character development. no developing story? what does this have to do with sitcoms? did seinfeld have a developing story? no. every episode was a story in itself, just like south park. there is humor derived from the character themselves, i can't even count how many "cartman wants to take over the world" episodes there are. so no, you're wrong.

here's wiki's definition of a sitcom just for you:

"a genre of comedy that features recurring characters (check) in a common environment (check) such as a home or workplace, accompanied with jokes as part of the dialogue (check)."

yep, south park's definitely a sitcom.

Then clearly you take everything way too seriously, which is never healthy. How exactly are they boring?

I find Family Guy more funny than South Park, the show keeps getting worse and worse

Who cares if it is a sitcom or not? The show sucks and isn't funny, at all.SF_KiLLaMaN

yep, we're all just imagining its funniness.

A satire gets most of the comedy from the jest made at some outside part of culture (often whats in the news)

A sitcom gets its comedy from the characters themselves. King of the Hill is a good example of a great animated sitcom

Family Guy(current form) is what southpark is. A mostly satire of pop culture ideas and news with reused characters

SouthPark is famous for its spoofs of it stuff, making it primarily a satire

The Simpson and Sienfield are better overall. South Park is one of the best cable sitcoms ever though.

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"] You picked the most boring ones in existance, the story is occasionally amusing and controversial sure. But it's just so full of dark humour I just can't get many laughs from it, I mainly watch comedy to remain happy rather then become depressed.parkurtommo

There is never any plot in Family Guy, that's why everything can be funny. South Park actually requires an attention span. Family Guy is defiantly stupid and incoherent. I've watched 20 episodes of the show and I just sit there with a blank stare on my face while wondering what sort of person thinks this could possibly be funny.

The Simpsons should have gone off the air at least a decade ago and Seinfeld should never have made it past its pilot.

What.....is ...........the deal?

I've seen three episodes (kind of recently), but it seems like a good show. I don't think they were new episodes though, so who knows about right now?

Not this we. It's not the best sitcom. It's not even the best animated show. But it IS for some people, just not this one.

South Park is not a sitcom, but it is one of my favorite shows.

South Park isn't a sitcom but it is great.
