Oh absolutely. I don't think Family Guy is garbage but on the intelligence scale South Park, especially the last 5 or 6 seasons, is one of the smartest shows on TV. And I'm dead serious.
I was at a friend's house not too long ago and his younger brother (like 14) was watching an episode and I questioned his understanding of the real jokes, not just the blood squirting out of the virgin mary's ass. I really think it takes a politically and socially aware viewer to really get all of the satire and comedy and messages in SP.
I'm not saying that it is the greatest show ever but I think Parker and Stone put a lot more meaning into SP than most people give them credit for, possibly even themselves.
