I used to like it. Way back when it was actually funny, and not just redundant political statements.

It's a little to preachy but I still like it.

I used to like it when I was in high school, lost track of it, and then, a few months back, went back and looked at it. My reaction? "Guh, how did I ever like this?"

The deeper themes are there, but even in the first episodes, the cringe factor overwhelms the humour. I prefer The League of Gentlemen. The cringe factor versus humour is much better balanced. In fact, South Park fans, go watch an episode or two of The League of Gentlemen. Psychoville also works, from what I've seen.

I used to like it when I was in junior high, because I felt rebellious by enjoying a show that had a lot of swearing and sex jokes in it. After awhile the shock value wore off though, especially when I discovered that there are other shows/movies with mature subject matter that are far more entertaining.

:) I agree to all those previous comments, eh I used to watch when I was growing up.But afterwhile,it all slipped down to farside and I tried to watch when I was a Jr. and well the explication of the show's content and it's just not funny anymore.Reflecting back on the older episodes I felt the same way.So I watch more shows like Adult Swim,Beavis and Butthead, and stand up on Comedy Central,instead.Gee looking back, I should've knew it was immature :idea and not funny.

Hey, I love the show! Especially since they had a three part episode where Cthulhu rises from the depths, and Kenny's ability to return from the dead are explained.

Wow... OK, I haven't liked many episodes I've seen in recent years but being a Lovecraft freak, I must admit I'll probably have to check this out. The last ones I really liked were the Imagination Land trilogy. Maybe there's just something about their trilogies...

At least it's not as preach as Family Guy has become. It seems like about 10 times an episode know they put some blatant liberal political statement in the show.
