The animated series is not for children. In fact, its goal seems to be to offend as many as possible as it presents the adventures of Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman. The show has taken on Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, politicians of every stripe and self-important celebrities. Oh, and Kenny is killed in many episodes.

The kids' parents have only their best interests at heart when they arrange for the kids to be exposed to the chickenpox virus.

Uncle Howard escapes from the slammer to join Grandma Cartman's holiday celebration.

The new planetarium has a strange pull on Stan, Kyle and Kenny; Cartman wants the lead in "Les Misérables."

The boys are assigned a group project and end up working with a nervous geeky kid named Tweek; a cappuccino conglomerate eyes South Park.
