South Park<\/strong><\/em> returned with a bang for its 24th season on Wednesday night when they aired their highly promoted \u201cPandemic Special\u201d<\/a>, which managed to pull in numbers not seen by the show in a long time. 7 years, to be exact.<\/p>\n

As shown in the promotional trailer for the episode, Trey Parker and Matt Stone were eager to put their creative minds to work on the silver platter full of source material that has been 2020, and it\u2019s safe to say the hour long special delivered. No page\u00a0was left unturned as the South Par<\/em>k<\/a> kids struggled with going back to school safely, a defunded police force\u00a0was thrown inside the classrooms to sub in for teachers and everyone in town started\u00a0to feel stressed after 6 months of quarantine.<\/p>\n

It seems like their relatable narrative choices definitely paid off, with the \u201cPandemic Special\u201d drawing a 2.3 million viewers on Comedy Central for a 168% audience increase from its 23rd season\u2019s viewership and 178% increase from their average numbers.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Those numbers add up to 4,5 million viewers when accounting for the people who tuned in via MTV, VH1, Paramount Network, TV Land and Pop TV, all sister brands airing the episode under Comedy Central\u2019s parent network, ViacomCBS.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not hard to see how the special attracted viewer\u2019s interest. South Park<\/em> is mostly known for its controversial takes on modern society and it was always going to be interesting to see what its writers could come up with since going on break in December 2019. Without departing from its continuous narrative of recent years, the episode tackles the pandemic\u2019s origins, face mask (or rather face diaper) controversy, online classes and Zoom meetings, police abuse, Black Lives Matters, cabin fever symptoms and even calls out everyone\u2019s democratic duties with President Garrison\u2019s final line: \u201cDon\u2019t forget to get out and vote, everybody. Big Election coming up<\/a><\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Even if the one-off hour special is listed on Comedy Central\u2019s site as episode 1 in season 24, there is no word yet on when South Park will resume its normal schedule<\/a> with no more episodes announced so far. Whatever the case, the \u201cPandemic Special\u201d was a hit by giving audiences a chance to laugh at this year\u2019s woes because, after all, everyone can put themselves in Stan\u2019s shoes when he says \u201cI just want to have fun again\u2026 I want my life back\u201d.<\/p>\n
