South Park Takes on Trump's D. C. in New Episode

South Park is back with another episode that dives into politics. This time, the show is looking at President Trump's decision to send more law enforcement to Washington D.C. The new episode, called "Sickofancy," shows Towelie visiting the capital and finding it filled with soldiers and tanks.

Criticism of Federal Agents

The show has been known for making fun of everyone, but this season, it seems to be focusing more on the Trump Administration. The promo for the new episode suggests that the show is criticizing the increase in federal agents in D.C. The White House says this move has led to many arrests, but critics see it as an authoritarian takeover.

Record-Breaking Viewership

South Park has been getting a lot of attention lately. The season premiere had 6 million viewers, the highest in 25 years. The next episode had even more viewers, with 6.2 million tuning in. The show has been breaking records, and it seems like the creators are taking their time to make each episode.

Delays and Speculation

The show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, haven't said why they're changing the schedule. But with all the attention and criticism, they might be taking extra time to make sure each episode is just right. The next episode won't air until September 3rd, and then again on September 17th.

Anniversary Marathon Instead of New Episode

Last week, the show didn't air a new episode. Instead, Comedy Central showed a marathon of old episodes. This was supposed to celebrate the show's anniversary. But with the show breaking records and facing more scrutiny, it's possible they're taking a break to focus on new episodes.

Taking on Big Names

The second episode of the season made fun of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. She was shown as someone who keeps shooting puppies and whose face keeps melting. Noem responded by saying it's lazy to make fun of women for how they look. This back and forth shows how the show is not afraid to take on big names.
