This, the year of our Lord 2k16, marks 19 years since the first episode of South Park (Friday, 10pm, Comedy Central). The message from creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker is that South Park has won the war. Stone and Parker are staging a churlish sit-in on modern culture, and they’re not going anywhere. South Park then, is a precious thing. Like a parasitic wasp burrowing into your frontal cortex and settling in – and, like South Park itself – he’s here to stay.
