Describing "South Park" TV show as "an American animated sitcom" compares with characterizing baseball as "an American form of exercise" such flagrant under-statement it is just insulting and unlawful in thirty-seven states. Over the course of its more than two-hundred episodes, "South Park" has achieved the exalted status of cultural icon and ratings bonanza. "South Park" consistently tops the basic cable charts, and it has earned distinction as Comedy Central's highest rated and longest running show. From their South Park, Colorado, vantage, four foul-mouthed but frighteningly precocious elementary schoolers willingly satirize everything from politics to the prophet Mohammed. Everything is grist for Stan Marsh's, Kyle Broflovski's, Eric Cartman's, and Kenny McCormick's mills. "South Park's" distinctive cut-out animation, originally done by hand but now computer-generated, adds to its often surreal and always dark humor. Generally heralded as the internet's first "viral" video, since 1997, "South Park" has garnered four primetime Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award for Comedy Central.
Although the producers of "Family Guy" claim that it represents a "dysfunctional" family, millions of American viewers say it looks perfectly representative of most of the families in their neighborhood. Part of the "animation domination" line-up on Fox Network, "Family Guy" dramatizes the everyday dramas in the lives of Peter and Lois Griffin, their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie, and their dog Brian. Like all Seth MacFarlane productions, "Family Guy" depends on scathing satire of American popular culture for most of its humor, stretching the "plausible impossible" to make the baby and the dog by far the smartest and most perceptive among the members of the family. The Griffins have garnered three Emmys and three Annies for MacFarlane and company, and they have earned one Golden Reel Award. In 2009, "Family Guy" earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series"”the first time since "The Flintstones" were nominated in 1962 that an animated series had numbered among the nominees.
