I was looking at the [South Park](http://www.southparkstudios.com/show/guide.html?season=8) website and it is missing episode 806.

Does anybody know why? Has the website screwed up or was no episode shown?

Thanks

This has happened before; most recently with Episode 802 (Awesome-O) which was originally supposed to be aired as the second episode, but got pushed back because of different reasons (in that case I would guess a) Mel Gibson’s Christ movie getting a lot of attention, and b) beating Johnny Knoxville to the punch before his latest movie concept got well-known).

I quote from [www.southparkstudios.com](http://www.southparkstudios.com) :

> It’s STILL not a typo Wednesday’s episode is showing out of order. This sometimes happens with us at South Park Studios. If you check out the episode guide, you’ll notice some of the air dates are out of order. When the season is first drafted out, an episode number is assigned to each episode. Sometimes some episodes need more time to work on, so they’re pushed back. The reason why we don’t just change the episode number is that, a single episode could change it’s number many times, and that would just be way too confusing!
