*1704: Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers* Pre-Air Discussion

[nwt000]

Just to let you guys know, there was never an episode scheduled for next week. Looks like the two mid-run breaks are good for something.

I had no idea

Thanks, nwt000

No problem, apparently even Will thought it was going to be a 10 week consecutive run. However, here's the schedule for the rest of the season in case anyone's wondering:
1704: 10/23 (was supposed to be 10/16)
1705: 10/30
1706: 11/6
1707: 11/13
1708: 11/20
1709: 12/4
1710: 12/11
Yes, there is going to be a break the week of Thanksgiving, barring another catastrophe like this.

And the source of this schedule?

And the source of this schedule?

Look at the episode guide and click on all of the unaired episodes or look at the dates of the future episodes on the episode player.

Even before the episode airs (a week from now, apparently), I still declare this "the best SP episode ever" based on the show's title alone.

Aw... awww!

Shit, good thing I logged in early to hear this news. I wonder if there will be a message at the top of the hour on CC. Casual viewers may be caught off guard.

Well, I guess I'll just watch a little baseball tonight.

Even though this South Park Blackout is a bummer, I imagine it must feel really upsetting to everyone at South Park Studios. I wish we could let them all know that we still support them. Don't worry Matt and Trey and everyone else. We're still excited to see the new episode next week! Sometimes crappy things get in the way. But we still love South Park!

The substitute episode is Scott Tenorman Must Die.
Well at least we get a great one to fill the gap.

I noticed this. I knew the season ended 12/11 and went to see if it had been pushed and saw it was the same.

Hope Trey and Matt put the extra week for the Goth Kids ep to good use, either tweaking the new episode, getting a headstart on 1705, or getting some rest at least.

Can't say I was really looking forward to this episode. I'm not a fan of episodes that don't involve the main characters in at least some way.

That said, I'm not really bummed out. Surprised that happened, figured they'd have backup generators or something in the event of an emergency, but it seems like that's not the case, even in regular TV.

The Daily Show for example had a power outage this past summer in the middle of the taping. I guess some stuff will run, other stuff will not.

Regardless, this might be a relief for the crew who now has a little more time to perfect everything.

SOUTH PARK
TITLE: GOTH KIDS 3: DAWN OF THE POSERS
Episode #1704 Air date: October 16, 2013

The Goth kids are being sent away to a camp for troubled children.

Is this a change? I thought it was just Henrietta.

Well color me corrected. It's been a while since they took breaks within a run.

[nwt000]

Yup, chances are we're getting a Christmas episode for the first time in nine years. Always glad to help everyone out with the show's schedule.

[addamduncan]

I think if they work on the episode more than 6 days because of this it compromises integrity.

My recollection is that nall had only posted about Henrietta.

Well, these things happen. I have had power outages at my work too. When the new episode didn't come on, I was worried it was censored for some reason, so I came here. Glad to know that isn't the case, and we will get to see this episode next week..Not pissed off or disappointed..Trey and Matt have been awesome at getting new episodes done in just a few days..For years. This is the only time they missed an air date, and it was over something that couldn't have been helped. At least I have American Horror Story tonight..

[JOSHSKORN]

Another week wouldn't hurt. This season could use some QC.
