Who has watched this show from the very beginning?

[Erthan]

Who has watched South Park from the very first episode in 1997 to the most recent one this week in 2008.

P.S.
I only started watching this show last year so I can't even participate in my own discussion.

I didn't really start watching the show until like two years ago but i've seen every episode.

[necrolust]

Yeah i remember being a little kid and watching the first episode the first time it came on tv. Watched it ever since.

I have, and it's a really huge difference.

[ShellyBroflovski]

I have. However, for a period of time, I fell out of touch with it, so I've probably missed about a seasons worth of episodes scattered about.

[Satans Enforcer]

oh yea i remember when season one was on... was just a youngin then, the show has changed so much from where it started, somethings for the better, some for worse... but it is still a great show that i watch almost daily, for hours on end...

[Satiricality]

I watched the first couple of seasons when it first came out on network TV.

I only got digital cable recently so I've fallen back into watching it regularly and I think it's one of the few shows that has gotten consistently better over the years as opposed to some shows that peak and then start to fade away from their former glory.

While I think the early seasons still have their charm, I think much of the newer material is a lot stronger and funnier and I'm amazed at how the show has evolved, grown, and reinvented itself from where it started.

Well, we get TV over-the-air. The commercial TV version starred here I like to say in 2004? I don't remember. It came on twice a day, at 11:00 PM and 11:30 PM. They went through seasons 1 thru 7, then repeated 1 thru 7, then Season 8 through Michael Jackson episode, than 1 thru 8, etc., and then some of season 9. Once we got high speed internet, I saw every episode there is (too many times, I'm afraid) on the South Park Studios Episode Player. There are episodes here and there that have NEVER aired on free TV, at least not in the L.A. area.

So, no, I haven't watched this show from the very beginning because we did not receive cable at the house, but yes, I have seen every episode many, many times.

Of course i did, i'm yer grandpa! Back in my day, we used to walk ten miles uphill in four feet of snow barefoot to watch South Park on a thirteen inch black and white tv with one speaker. You kids today have it lucky what with your fancy shoes and all.

[BigCamera4892]

Hey, Grandpa ! How have you been? We're looking forward to seeing you on Thansgiving. Yum !

I remember that story you told me when I was a child

But I thought that you told me you not only had to walk 10 miles to watch South Park on an uphill climb. It was also uphill both ways -- going from your house to watch South Park and also coming home again. All uphill !

I remember. Thanks for reminding me. You did have it tough.

btw, I thought that you told me that your TV was a Packard-Bell 9 inch, not a 13 inch. Maybe it was a Zenith TV. I forgot what you told me. I was too young. Wasn't it a 9 inch black and white TV? And remote weren't invented yet - you had to actually get up off the couch to change the channels and to adjust the volume, turn it on and off, and control the brightness, contrast, and horizontal hold. i remember your stories.

That's right it was 20 miles uphill both ways through a 8 foot blizzard, and Old Man McCullough never liked us walking past his place so he always let his coyotes loose after us, and all we had to defend ourselves with was a stale loaf of french bread. And it was a five inch tv and it had a coat hanger covered with aluminum foil for a antenna, and you had to stand by the tv and hold the hanger foil antenna in one hand for the picture to come in clearly. And that's the way it was and we liked it.

Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!

.......& Yep watched the show from the beginning.
