Traditionally an animated series takes eight to 12 months to be completed, making it almost impossible to address current event. In the case of "South Park", computer-animating the show has afforded the creators lee-way to put certain episodes together quickly (such as -"Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut" - 22 April 1998) and identifiable changes between the episodes and that episode's own promo. Most notable have been what are known as the "11th hour episodes", episodes put together mere days - and sometimes hours - before airtime. These include, but are not limited to: "Quintuplets 2000" a.k.a "Janet Reno in a Bunny Suit" (airdate: 26 April 2000). This episode mirrored the removal, by the U.S. government, of Elian Gonzalez from the home of his Miami relatives; an event which occurred three days prior."Trapper Keeper" (airdate: 15 November 2000), which parodied the scandal of the 2000 presidential election, which happened a week earlier."It Hits the Fan" (airdate: 20 April 2001). Numerous story changes kept the episode in production all the way up to the airing. Upon its original airing, the show was notably lacking in numerous completed sound effects. Most obvious was the lack of sound during Kenny's death."Osama bin Laden has Farty Pants" (airdate: 7 November 2001). Airing weeks after the terrorist attacks on the USA of 11 September 2001, it became one of the first fictional series to address the matter."It's Christmas in Canada" (airdate: 17 December 2003) which acknowledged the capture of Saddam Hussein a mere four days after it took place."Best Friends Forever" (airdate: 30 March 2005) which parodied the media coverage of the Terry Schiavo case."Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow" (airdate: 19 October 2005) This episode was inspired by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, first being that people blamed the government what happened, and also that it took so long for aid to arrive.

Exactly who is related to who in the Marsh family is never consistent. Early episodes imply that Jimbo and Marvin (Stan's grandfather) are on Sharon's side of the family, whereas more recent ones imply they are on Randy's side. Being on Sharon's side makes sense for Jimbo, as he has a different last name. However, Marvin's last name is, indeed, confirmed to be Marsh. Matt Stone revealed in an interview that Jimbo Kerns is Randy's half-brother.

Q
What is the original episode of "South Park?"
A
In film school, where Matt Stone and Trey Parker met, for their final project, they made a short film called "The Spirit of Christmas," (also known as "Jesus vs. Frosty") where the story was about a magical hat that causes a snowman to morph into a serial killer. Prototypes of the four main boys in today's "South Park" are evident, although voices and names are different than today.Later, a TV executive commissioned the pair to make a video Christmas card, called "The Spirit of Christmas" (also know as "Jesus vs. Santa") where Jesus and Santa have a "Mortal Kombat" type battle to decide the true meaning of Christmas. Thanks to timely advice from Brian Boitano, the boys stop the two from fighting and save the day. The original video in its entirety can be seen either on the Internet or spliced into the episode "South Park: A Very Crappy Christmas (#4.17)".When Comedy Central got the video, they asked the creators to do their own show on the network. The original pilot episode is "South Park: Cartman Gets an Anal Probe (#1.1)".
