I don't know, I thought the premiere was pretty good. They paid tribute to Hayes and to the character, and made it clear that he'd meant a lot and that they blamed the cult, not him. And yeah, okay, the hideous death was maybe a bit much, but it led the way for that awesome Darth Vader moment!

Stone and Parker have always been self-important--they're eternal 15-year-old boys! But, yeah, I do think their more "political" episodes have taken on an irritating smugness of their own. I always like the less political episodes better (remember when Cartman got that kid to eat his own dead parents? Awesome.)

Drawn Together? Really? I haven't seen much of it, but everything I've seen has led me to conclude that I'd rather gnaw off my own arm than watch that show on a regular basis. But I could be wrong.
