They own South Park outright because when it first aired people thought it would flop so they got 100% of the rights to the show.
Hell they even had the episode where they said “shit” uncensored and kept a counter for every time they said it.
If there’s any show that really can do whatever it wants, it’s South Park.
- whereistimbo 7y agoNot really, according to official south park website southpark.cc.com: SOUTH PARK ©2019 COMEDY PARTNERS. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. COMEDY CENTRAL. SOUTH PARK AND ALL RELATED TITLES, LOGOS AND CHARACTERS ARE TRADEMARKS OF COMEDY PARTNERS.
- brodouevencode 7y agoWikipedia says it's owned by Viacom - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Park_(franchise) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Park_(franchise) Maybe there's some nuance in rights vs ownership, idk.
- whereistimbo 7y agoComedy Partner is a subsidiary of MTV Networks, which itself is a subsidiary of Viacom, so it makes sense I guess, although I still lean towards South Park official website.
- dekhn 7y agoactually the shit counter was making fun of the fact they previously had to play a game with their bleepers, who wouldn't come out and say exactly what the swear threshold for an episode was.
