South Park – Seasons 1–15

Series. South Park has been an audience favourite since SBS launched the irreverent, animated series in Australia in 1998. So, it warrants its place in the spotlight in the 50 years of broadcasting celebrations for SBS in 2025. The off-colour adventures of Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman, four elementary school boys in South Park, Colorado, do not grow old. Watch them all or zero in on favourite episodes – as Cartman might say: ‘kewl’.
