Ahoy, squirts! Quint here, hijacking Herc's Coax column for a single story. I noticed Hollywood Reporter ran a story confirming Comedy Central has signed for 3 more seasons of SOUTH PARK with Trey Parker and Matt Stone now officially contracted for at least 42 more episodes!
South Park is one of the best comedies ever run on television, a show that grown with each season, somehow keeping itself fresh. The giddiness of Parker and Stone as they tackle taboo after taboo... I mean... Mr. Slave and Lemmiwinks? "I made you eat your parents!" It makes me smile that we get 3 more years of South Park for sure (unless they pull a Chapelle, of course) and I hope we have them for another 10 after that.
Comedy Central has inked a deal with the creators of "South Park" to bring the long-running animated series back for three more seasons, the network announced Thursday. Executive producers Matt Stone and Trey Parker will write, direct, and edit 42 more episodes of "South Park." Currently in its ninth season, "Park" will stay put through 2008. "I was at Comedy Central when we launched the first season of 'South Park' and I am thrilled to see them continue through 2008," says Herzog. "Matt and Trey are creative geniuses and a huge part of the Comedy Central family and we look forward to continued success." A new season of "South Park" begins Oct. 19. The series started in 1997
