Definitely agreed, you can see a big change in who they focus on, as well as the over-all feel of each show. Giving larger roles to Randy(who's always been my favourite character) and Butters is awesome. The only minor character I think they need to use more of is Jimmy. God that guy cracks me up. It seems every episode where he's the main character is just gold(Cripples, Erection Day, Steroids). More Jimmy and less Kenny, I've never been a fan of his. At least they stopped trying to kill him every episode, that stopped being funny by season 2.
EDIT: Still can't find the new SP anywhere online, but happened to catch it on Comedy Network last night by chance. Decent, but nothing amazing.
