So I was rewatching the episodes listed in this video of Randy clips from season 1 -5 while researching my "Evolution of Randy" topic.
Matt and Trey say they hate Season 1-4... But they contain a lot of the world building and character development that we all love. Perhaps they feel they could do better, or wish they'd written the south park world differently?
The early seasons were more about life in south park, versus life in america. The lot of character defining events and backstories take place here. The boys, their parents, and their relationships are all defined in these early seasons. Jokes and tropes leaned towards relatable every day things instead of current events.
A lot is said about the newer seasons but, I'd like to hear peoples thoughts on the older seasons. Characters and backstories that tend to be forgotten. Or tidbits that people might have missed.
....
I'm anticipating my next post will focus on Randy & Sharon's relationship background. We saw in the recent, "Not Suitable For Children" that the two of them clearly have an inseparable bond; broken only by alternate timelines (Post Covid: Covid Returns).
I have some more research to do on that. Any comments related to them in the first seasons will certainly be food for thought.
