After sleeping on it a part of me now thinks this is a Matt and Trey "We're just fricking with you" moment and everything resets itself like Sharon told Randy
Can only hope

This is what I'm thinking. Cartman is gonna tell everyone to stop acting like pussies and everything will go back to normal.

What if the last seven episodes are a big seven parter series finale?

Agreed, I think we can all agree that at one point. South Park was the only decent show on Comedy Central and was carrying the network.
that's not entirely true... whether you watch them or not, Daily Show and Colbert Report bring in a pretty good audience

At what point was this, pray tell?

For my money, it's probably the best animated show ever and certainly one of my all time favorites
Easily the best animated series ever. It isn't even a fair competition.
Sad that it will likely be ending, but it has to at some point. Better they go out on their terms and not go Simpson's with it.

Circa 1998.
ETA: I don't think anyone can guess as to what will happen in the next few episodes. I think Matt and Trey use SP to get a lot of shite off of their chest and then just keep on making the show like nothing ever happened. This could be a foreshadowing or it could be a big "Haha, Gotcha" like the episode that was supposed to reveal Cartman's dad but ended up being an entire Terance and Philip episode.

So you claim that when South Park first came out, it was the only good thing on CC?

Yep. It was the only reason I turned on CC. What did you watch on CC back then?
SP put CC on the map as far as extended basic cable channels.

I can hardly remember what I watched on any channel back then. However, Talk Soup was still on, and that shite was good.

No, it didn't.
Politically Incorrect and Talk Soup were two of the top shows prior to SP. I used to watch those religiously.
Win Ben Stein's Money was popular, as were reruns of Ab Fab and other comedy programs.

If you were in college in 98 like I was then you probably watched a lot of MTV because it still played music videos and the Real World, Road Rules were reality TV geared towards people our age.

I think the only remotely decent thing on around the time Southpark was starting was the man show.
Southpark made Comedy central relevant.
Was Talk Soup on CC or was it on E!?

Talk soup is E channel bro.
And Southpark pretty much did put comedy central on the map, you're fooling yourself if you think otherwise.....

While CC had other shows that were hidden gems, the station itself was not watched very much by people my age. Ben Stein's money didn't come out till 3 or 4 years after SP (I believe)
From Wiki:
quote:
From the late 1980s through the mid-1990s, much of the programming on Comedy Central, and its predecessors, consisted of comedy films, sitcom reruns, half-hour specials and clip shows featuring stand-up comedians. With the exception of the cult favorite Mystery Science Theater 3000, the channel had a relatively small viewership. A notable early success was Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, which after showing promise on Comedy Central was quickly snapped up by the ABC network. Additionally, The Daily Show had got its start with premiere host Craig Kilborn, although it would take a few more years for the show to reach high popularity (and shift toward a focus on political humor) with the introduction of Jon Stewart (who was former co-host of Short Attention Span Theater from 1991). Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist was also a notable original program from this era, as well as the game show Win Ben Stein's Money. Successful non-original programming included Canadian comedy group The Kids In The Hall and British shows such as the U.K. edition of Whose Line Is It Anyway? (predecessor of the U.S. version, featuring much of the same American cast as would later be seen in the U.S.) and the sitcom Absolutely Fabulous. Some later seasons of "AbFab", as it was informally known, were partially financed by Comedy Central. Comedy Central also aired nationwide reruns of Seattle's Almost Live! between 1992 and 1993.
South Park premieres
The channel made a breakthrough when South Park premiered in 1997. Being the first major cable show to carry the TV-MA rating for mature audiences, the show was too controversial to be picked up by a mainstream network.[16] As word-of-mouth spread, the number of people who requested that Comedy Central be added to their cable systems increased, and the channel became available in over 50% of American homes by 1998.
I was obviously incorrect about Ben Stein's Money. That was one of my favorite shows on CC.
