"South Park" Creators Await Election Results

The creative minds behind Comedy Central’s hit animated series, "South Park," are anxiously awaiting Tuesday’s presidential election results so that they can begin preparing the story lines for their upcoming series. The concept of the developing series is described as a dual parody, which will target both sitcoms in general and the life of the president’s family in particular. The show, entitled "Family First," is scheduled to hit the air on February 28, provided Stone and Parker can put the pieces together by then. The show will not be animated and will require live actors, something Parker and Stone are quick to admit will present new and substantial challenges for the creative duo. Obviously, there is no clean editing process like the one involved when working with the animated "South Park" characters.

The "South Park" boys had begun researching possible episode themes while under the impression that Al Gore was going to win the election rather easily. However, as George W. Bush has pulled even and taken the lead in some polls, the two have developed a more balanced arsenal of material and are now confident that they have enough to work with, regardless of the outcome of Tuesday’s election.

Because the show will air on Comedy Central, Stone and Parker will enjoy the same level of creative latitude that is currently afforded "South Park." With that kind of creative freedom at their disposal, the two are certain to generate an outrageous comedy spectacle, the likes of which the U.S. electorate has never seen.
