“Due to this week’s tragic events in Hawaii the “Lemmiwinks” episode of South Park will not be shown tonight” 😕 The AWSOMO 4000’s a cyber wire bundle of joy, but he’s not a hamster. Apart from that prety good episode, although I’m not touching Butter’s medicine with a 10 foot pole. ---

As this was one of the few new episodes I’ve seen in several years, I enjoyed the hell out of it. “Lame.” Heh. ---

An amusing show and better than last weeks, but count me as perplexed as to just what the tragic events in Hawaii are! ---

> [@beergeek279](#): > > An amusing show and better than last weeks, but count me as perplexed as to just what the tragic events in Hawaii are! My guess would be that it’s a joke the creators decided to play, much like the special Terrence and Philip episode to start off season 2 instead of the ending to the cliffhanger from season 1. Especially since Mrs. Cartman said that Cartman was still grounded because he tried to exterminate the Jews two weeks ago, which is when the Passion episode came out. ---

Hilarious episode. I love Butters. And the look on Cartman’s face at the end… priceless. A few really memorable moments. ---

Best episode of the season so far IMO. There is a note on this one over at [TVtome.com](http://TVtome.com): "This season’s Lemmiwinks episode was announced to originally air on this date, but due to a production delay its airing was postponed to a later date. Before the standard disclaimer appears, Trey’s voice is heard making the following announcement: Due to this week’s tragic events in Hawaii the “Lemmiwinks” episode of South Park will not be shown tonight. Instead, we present the all new and slightly better episode, AWESOM-O. " “Are you by chance a ‘Pleasure Model’?” Jeez, a hand job for Ben Affleck, who knows what with this studio exec., and Butters gives away his movie pitch money. Cartman has absolutely no luck with Hollywood. ---

I loved the lampooning of the [ASIMO’s](http://world.honda.com/ASIMO/) name by spelling it A.W.E.S.O.M.-O. That aside, I so much prefer South Park when they’re not trying be socially relevant. ---

Heh. The scientist and the Pentagon staff all have no trouble believing in a robot that’s achieved consciousness (“Number Five is alive!”), but can’t **imagine** a robot that can fart. ---

Any episode in which Cartman gets his comeuppence is worth it, and this one was just great. Particulary when Cartman gets trapped in his own scheme. Butters couldn’t have gotten a better revenge if he had planned it. Particulary at the end with the little movie show. ---

> [@tracer](#): > > Heh.

Butters made the same mistake. And you have the hollywood writers who couldn’t have possibly come up with 2000 crappy Adam Sandler movie ideas on their own. They had to have Cartman do it. ---

“Just slide it up in my anus there. Yeah, that’s pretty good. Get it up there good and deep.” **"LAME."** Priceless. So good to see Eric maturing. It’s just not right for an eight-year-old to still be giving tea-parties for his doll, I was a little concerned. 😛 ---

High-larious. Cartman desperately eating toothpaste was _awesome._ Though I halfway expected him to be skinny when he finally took the box off. Seems like the last few episodes have been a lot better than average, considering the dip the show went into for a while. Are we in a new Golden Age of South Park? Some of what they’re doing is approaching the high point that happened around the time the movie came out. Do we know if Matt & Trey are signed through just this season or if the network wants them back after this one is done? Maybe they’re inspired by a looming climax and want to end on a strong note. ---

GREAT episode… the last few have been great! The suppository insertion and Cartman letting the scientist die because he wanted to get that video from Butters were just hilarious as Hell. ---

I guess Butters didn’t lose an eye, after all. Nice to see that kid get a break for once. (Did you notice that his birthday is September 11?) I have to wonder, though, if Trey and Parker know what “Catamount” means. I guess it’s a take-off on “Paramount”, but possibly they also had it confused with “catamite”. [By the way: I missed a whole year of the show. How did they finally settle on one, permanent Kenny?] ---

> [@Baldwin](#): > > [By the way: I missed a whole year of the show. How did they finally settle on one, permanent Kenny?] They had a very special episode where Kenny died of a terminal disease and Stan had to come to terms with him dying. The next season they replaced Kenny with Butters and then Tweak. At the end of the season Kenny came back (literally, walked in to frame, Stan:“Oh, hey, where have you been?”) and he hasn’t died since. ---

> [@Baldwin](#): > > I have to wonder, though, if Trey and Parker know what “Catamount” means. I guess it’s a take-off on “Paramount”, but possibly they also had it confused with “catamite”. Considering that the “Catamount Studios” logo looked like the spittin’-image of the Paramount logo – not to mention the fact that Paramount Pictures were the ones who released the _South Park_ movie to the theaters – I’d definitely say it’s a take-off on “Paramount”. I had to look up “catamount” in the dictionary when I saw this. Man, I had no idea there were so many different words for mountain-lion!
