WTF, the entire South Park series is legitimately online?

Post by Amp Divorax » Fri Mar 21, 2008 2:25 am

Recently South Park Studios, the official South Park website, was revamped with a new look. However, in a surprise move, the site has also made the entire series available at broadcast quality (640x480 resolution) and for newer seasons have put up the episodes unbleeped. At this point in time, I applaud Matt and Trey for this decision.

Kinda makes me think "Why not?"
I mean, I doubt this would make less people watch the show or subscribe to Comedy Central.
If anything, it'll probably get more people into the show, making them more eager to see new episodes (which I doubt will be available online as soon as they air), bringing Comedy Central new customers. Brilliant!

The entire southpark series has always been available streamed online at sites such as allabout-sp.net, mrtwig.net, and many others. This isn't really new or will make a difference. This site is deffinately more organized and realiable though, so that I am happy about.

Also another reason they are able to do this is you have to watch the ads throughout the episode, you can't skip them. Many shows do this its pretty common

I know that other sites have episodes of various shows on regularily like Adult Swim, but none of them put the entire series online and at broadcast quality so that's a pretty big deal. As for being ad supported, I think that's definitely justified as it helps them with revenue for the site. While other sites have made the series available, one substansial difference is that this is completely legit unlike those sites.

All major sites have been posting there normal shows online for a while now. Online TV watching has actually got me into quite a few new shows.

Anyone else having problems loading videos on this site? It was working great for a while, and now it doesn't load videos anymore for me.
