Summaries

Follows the misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers in the quiet, dysfunctional town of South Park, Colorado.

The curious, adventure-seeking group of 10-year-old fourth-grade boys--Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny--all join in on buffoonish adventures that sometimes evolve nothing. Sometimes, something that was simply at the start spins right out of control. Everything is odd in the small mountain town of South Park, and the boys always find something to do with it.

"South Park" follows four boys in the tiny mountain town of South Park, Colorado. Kyle Broflovski is a young Jewish boy with a strong moral center, who often encounters struggles with the other boys because of his religion and his strict, orthodox family. Stan Marsh, a pessimistic but kind-hearted boy living with his idiotic family is Kyle's best friend. They are joined by their #1 frenemy, Eric Cartman, a fat, hateful--"and hated"--foul-mouthed bully and his mistreated, impoverished sidekick Kenny McCormick. Together, the boys bring out the very best and worst in one another as they embark on hilarious adventures throughout their school, neighborhood, and world.

The animated series is not for children. In fact, its goal seems to be to offend as many as possible as it presents the adventures of Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman. The show has taken on Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, politicians of every stripe and self-important celebrities. Oh, and Kenny is killed in many episodes.

"South Park" is an animated series featuring four foul-mouthed 4th-graders: Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman. The show is set in the Colorado town of South Park where weird things keep happening--someone being abducted by aliens, new teachers sharing strange ideas, major and minor celebrities descending upon the town, a toy craze that turns sinister, or just parents or other family members causing offbeat drama.—Losman <[email protected]>
