However, as the show continued,South Parkpivoted to covering current events from a satirical perspective.

Over 25 seasons, South Park has seen only six out of more than 300 episodes banned and censored.

What made these outings so uniquely controversial?

South Parkused the character Mr. Garrison as a stand-in for Donald Trump.

In contrast, he appeared sparingly in seasons 25 and 26, resulting in a lack of focus.

South Parkseasons 25 and 26 didnt feature Joe Biden and felt unmoored without Garrisons version of Trump.

While one episode would center on gentrification, the next would be about Russia and Ukraines conflict.

There were many broad satirical swipes, but no cohesive focus like Garrison provided during Trumps first presidency.

South Parkseason 27 is expected to begin airing in 2025.

If season 27 doesnt bring back Garrisons Trump, the series needs to offer an alternative.
