As South Park<\/em> pushes through its staggered Season 27 release schedule, \u201cConflict of Interest\u201d signals something longtime fans will notice more than newcomers: callbacks to the show\u2019s golden era. It\u2019s the first episode this season centered on the boys, and Parker and Stone drop references that only viewers who\u2019ve stuck around since the beginning will catch.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve accepted that South Park\u2019s<\/em> recent ratings bump comes from leaning harder into political commentary, effectively making it another \u201croast the news\u201d program. But it\u2019s clear the creators painted themselves into a corner by going more topical than ever, especially after \u201cGot a Nut\u201d was pulled from syndication following Charlie Kirk\u2019s assassination. That decision erased a planned Cartman arc and forced the writers to pivot midstream.<\/p>\n\n
