28 Years Later, Paramount+’s Most Divisive Series Is Still the Most Controversial Show on TV

Sadly, in today's television scene, sitcoms aren't as popular as they once were. If you want a good laugh in under thirty minutes, many turn to shows from decades past, like Seinfeld, Friends, and The Office. However, there are a few comedy series from those eras still hanging on now because they exist in an animated form. The Simpsons, Family Guy, and South Park keep at it with characters who never age. Although those first two arguably aren't as good as they once were,South Park remains as hilarious and important as ever. The topical storylines of 2025 proved that, but even before they took on the Trump administration, Trey Parker and Matt Stone's little show had been a pop culture phenomenon for over a quarter of a century due to its masterful ability to lampoon controversies with a bunch of crudely made, foul-mouthed kids.
