South Park Syndicated Question

[kaite n]

I noticed how South Park only airs the first ten seasons in syndication. Why haven't they showed Seasons 11 and beyond in syndication yet? Could it be because of content concerns?

I doubt it's about content concerns since the first 10 seasons are just as bad as the post 10 ones.

I've also wondered about that but if you really think about it the only episodes of South Park that could possibly edited for syndication are "The List" in Season 11 and "201 and 202" from 14 (I think that's the season...)

The show got a lot edgier during the later seasons and actually earned it's TV-MA rating during season 11 when most episodes of the earlier parts would be TV-14 if they aired anywhere else. Sad but true~

Really? Only the first 10 seaons? I've never noticed. It's gotta be a $$$ thing.

I'm surprised "South Park" is still in broadcast syndication given how poorly the show is doing in the ratings... last fall, the program shifted stations in my market from WCIU to the My Net affiliate after it began its second syndication "cycle"

Yeah, I think it's because WCIU started airing Family Guy and American Dad.

I'm thinking the later episodes might be aired eventually, but some may not make the cut.
