Season Nine took the heaviest hit due to multiple episodes getting a small fine-tuning to lower ratings. The average of all episodes rose from the 4,42 to ashtounishing 4,43. Lower end also improved, but not enough to change the order of the episodes. Though if there would've been very major changes, there really would've been something signifigantly wrong in my original ratings.

Revision I Didn't Make
Was Bebe's Boobs Destroy the Society being rated 9/10. I really considered lowering it, since I rarely see it listed as people's favorites. But I couldn't make it, because I just have a hard-on for Bebe's boobs.

I know I overrate it, but fuck it, this is my ratings anyway.

I doubt my revisions will be left here, but for now that's enough for me. But what I think I need to do is to give proper explaining on the ratings. I mean when people see I rated episode 3/10, they will think that I thought that the episode really sucked. Unless, of course, they have read my first post, which stated:
"I'll be giving each episode a review and then rating on scale 1-10. 1 being "Well, it's South Park so it can't be that bad" and 10.. well, *insert insanely positive adjective here*. I'll be giving most episodes probably low rating, but it doesn't mean that the episodes were that bad, I'll just be using this kind of shit scale. I aim that 5 would be average, but well see where it is when this is over."

I'm now going to give something more exact as now the meaning of different ratings has formed in my head:
1 = Pretty bad episode. If I remember correctly, there's only couple of these.
2 = Still bad for a South Park, but If I have 22 minutes and nothing better to do, I might as well give it a watch and be entertained.
3 = Fairly decent episode. In my head, this is the lowest "positive" rating. If I liked episode overall it will be 3 or over.
4 = Good episode. Might ever be a minor classic, but doens't quite life to it's potential.
5 = The bar for "average" was set pretty high, since rating 5 episodes are all very good already. They just lack little something to make them really great.
6 = Great episode, unique or just so funny that's it's really either a classic, or I just liked it really, really much.
7 = I'm not finding enough superlatives and there's still few ratings left. This it definitely an excellent episode, and a clear classic.
8 = One of the best episodes ever.
9 = Absolutely amazing episode, that I can't get enough.
10 = Perfect episode - so far to be seen and I doubt any will ever get this rating. Maybe a fail from my part to not have episodes with rating 10, though what I could do is to rescale my original ratings and have one episode have 10, and promote some of 8 episodes to 9 etc... But I'm not going to do that, so we'll going to wait eagerly for this kind of episode.

That's all for now.

Minor revisions

I have been doing some revisions to the old reviews, BUT having said that, the old reviews are still intact. The thing I've been doing it is to just have "Revision:" after the review, and then I explain what has changed from my original opinion. There's not really that much changed on most episodes, it's just that not all the ratings are on correct scale. What I mean is that I have season 3 episode that I've rated 3/10 and season 8 episode that I've rated 5/10, but I think that the season 3 episode is better. So that's when I revise, mostly it will be just fixing the ratings. But some of the time I might be inclined to say some other stuff too. Also, when I was reviewing the latter seasons, I had schemas in my head to pretty much say, how good is episode of certain rating, whereas in first few season's it was bit of a guessing game. I'll explain that with more detail in later posts.

I've been watching the better (rated 5 and over) episodes recently, but I don't have that much time anymore and it's not really good for me to watch South Park (causes physical addiction and then all my spare time goes down the toilet).

When I'm done with all my revisions, I'll make another post where I'll bring it all together with new averages after changing etc. But I don't expect them to change much. The closely contested seasons might change order, but Season Six will surely still lead after revisions and Season Two will be the worst.

I'm taking this very seriously, but still you gotta remember that these are only my opinions, and not exact science. But it's fun stuff to do.

I've been also planning to release some pondering about the direction of the series, but I don't have really that much to say and I've not had the time to do such a thing. Maybe at some point in the future..

South Park Nerd

Hi. I'm the South Park Nerd. I'm just a guy who loves South Park and doesn't seem to get enough it. At least nowadays, that is. Don't get me wrong, I don't like everything in South Park. But to be honest I think of it as one of the best shows that there is on tv, if not the best.

I've watched every episode at least once. But now at the same time I start this blog, I'm going to start viewing the whole 12 seasons again - and reflect on my experience of every South Park episode and review every episode. Why am I doing this, you ask? Why the hell can't I just watch the fuckin' episodes? Why I must do some faggy blogging on it?

To be honest, I don't even myself know. I guess that at least part of it is just to find answer to why I like South Park so much as I do, and some of it must be of finding the best and worst episodes. But anyway, I should be doing something useful with my time, instead I'm watching South Park episodes and writing a god damn essays of the episodes. Whatever, I can do what I want.

But enough of that bullcrap about thinking why I am doing this, let's talk something about South Park and my relationship with it. As you probably can tell if you have read this far, I'm a fan of the show. But I've become such only recently. I've known South Park of course pretty much since it started (well, I'd be living under a rock had I not known it) and I always enjoyed watching the show, but not like nowadays. I'd just watch it sometimes when it came on tv (I live in Finland, so it's been on air bit irregurarly and with big delays to american premieres). Only recently I decided to sit through the whole 12 seasons - and now I want to do it again.

Now I guess that since you've read this far, you really do give a crap what I have to say, so let's put in some opinions to finish off this post. My favourite character is obviously Cartman, at least he entertains me most and I guess I'm not alone in this though Cartman is mostly an antagonist in the series. Kenny is my second favourite for some odd reason. If I'd be a South Park character, I'd probably be Tweek. I mean, I'm not that neurotic of course, but I would be if I'd live in South Park.

On the series overall there's only one issue I'd like to address at this point of my shitty blog is my growing disconcern about Cartman & Kyle's relationship. I mean right from the beginning they were always ripping on each other, but it has gotten worse in the newer episodes. I guess I am a pussy, but I like'd the lighter stuff more. There's also other thing about Cartman that distrupts me, but I think I gotta left something to write in future posts too.

Lastly there is this thing that I'm non-native, English is only my second language, so try to understand and not be to harsh, but I don't mind you commenting some grammatical mistakes. Otherwise I'll never learn. Oh yeah and there's this thing, I really would have rather been South Park Fan or something like that, but some retard had taken those blogspots already and I rather just be southparknerd.blogspot.com instead of 666southparkfan666.blogspot.com, if you know what I mean. So nerd it is, just like War Nerd and Angry Video Game Nerd. I wouldn't want to be a nerd, but what can I do? The fact is that I am a fuckin' nerd. It's midnight and I'm sitting at my computer writing some stuff that nobody gives a shit. I'm covered all over in sweat because of intense typing is being too much to my physical condition. All right, that's enough, that's grotesque.

So anyways that't all folks. For now, at least.
