6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park is a 2011 television documentary film directed by Arthur Bradford that details the production process of the American adult animated sitcom South Park. The film follows the show's hectic, rushed six-day production schedule, in which a 22-minute episode is completed just hours before its airdate. The first episode of South Park aired on Comedy Central on August 13, 1997. Intended for mature audiences, the show has become infamous for its crude language and dark, surreal humor that lampoons a wide range of topics. The episode South Park: Fatbeard (2009) was supposed to air a few weeks before it actually did. However, it was delayed due to the Maersk Alabama Highjacking, in which Somali pirates boarded an American cargo ship of the same name and took the captain hostage on a lifeboat for five days.

South Park’s 23rd season–one that featured its historic 300th episode–comes to a close with a little holiday cheer. Regardless of what happens to Santa in the season finale, South Park season 24 is already confirmed. In fact, creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker agreed to a deal earlier this year that will keep the show running through 2022.

The comedic duo told THR that the renewals continue to be easy decisions for them. “I don’t think we have ever had an ‘OK, let’s sit down and decide if we are going to keep going,'” Parker said. Stone added: “I am 48. Trey turns 50 this year. So I will say that I don’t think we will be doing this show when we’re 60.”

Stone and Parker have hinted at some projects outside of South Park in the pipeline, but right now it’s unclear if that will have any effect on the show’s production schedule. There’s no premiere date set for South Park season 24, but the previous seven seasons have released during the middle or end of September.

One major change for South Park that will occur in 2020 is the matter of the show’s streaming rights. HBO Max, which is set to launch in spring 2020, acquired the rights to the show’s 23 seasons plus an additional three seasons. Hulu is the current streaming rights holder.

'Over Logging' is the sixth episode in the twelfth season of the American animated series South Park.^[1] The 173rd episode of the series overall, it originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on April 16, 2008. In the episode, the Marsh family joins a mass-migration west when internet access starts to 'dry up' in Colorado. The episode was rated TV-MA LS in the United States.

The episode was written and directed by series co-creator Trey Parker. The episode parodies John Steinbeck's 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath and its subsequent film adaptation.^[2][3][4]

Plot[edit]

The Marsh family are performing various online activities: Stan is browsing randomly, Shelly is iChatting with her online boyfriend Amir from Montana, and Randy is (discreetly) watching internet porn. Sharon sends them all to bed for the night, insisting that the internet will still be there the next morning.

The next morning they discover that they have no internet connection. They then hastily walk to the Broflovskis' house to use their internet connection, but soon find that the internet does not work there, either. Both families head to Starbucks for free wireless internet, but when they arrive it soon becomes apparent that the entire town's internet connection is down. The TV news, which has nothing to report without the Internet, gives vague rumors of Internet access in Silicon Valley. After eight days without internet, the Marsh family decides to 'head out Californee way'. When the Marshes reach California, they are placed in a Red Cross 'Internet refugee camp' which is so overcrowded that each family is only permitted 40 seconds of internet access a day.

Randy quickly becomes agitated and complains to a guard that he has not jacked off in over two weeks. Randy explains to the guard that he has become so used to being able to find any fetish he wanted with a click of a mouse that he 'can't exactly go back to Playboy.' At night, the camp's computer is locked inside for the night. Randy decides to sneak in to use it secretly, looking up bizarre sexual fetishes such as 'Japanese girls puking in each other's mouths,' bestiality, and 'Brazilian fart porn'. As he masturbates while watching the videos, his loud moans attract attention and he is discovered in front of the computer covered head-to-toe in semen. He tries to explain that 'a spooky ghost' slimed him with ectoplasm. A guard discovers that Randy has used up the little amount of connection they had left.

Meanwhile, the government has attempted to find a way to fix 'the internet,' a large machine resembling a giant Linksyswireless router,^[5][6] which has stopped functioning for an unknown reason. Several fruitless attempts are made to repair it: negotiating with it, communicating with it musically, and even shooting at it. Acting on a hunch, Kyle disconnects and reconnects its power cord. The network indicator now glows green to indicate that nationwide Internet access has been re-established, much to everyone's surprise.

After the internet is restored, Randy delivers a speech wearing a Native American-esque outfit, warning about overuse of 'natural resources' (a parody of the long monologue speech that Steven Seagal gives about the environment at the end of On Deadly Ground). Randy says that people should learn from the experience and stop 'over-logging on', because they may be unprepared as a result if the Internet is lost permanently. He advises people to stop browsing pointlessly, to only use it when truly necessary and to only view porn 'twice a day... max.'

Cultural references[edit]

While most of the episode is a parody of The Grapes of Wrath,^[2][3][4] other works referenced include a parody of Steven Seagal's speech from the ending of On Deadly Ground, and the five-note musical motif used to communicate with aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.^[4]

Reception[edit]

South Park Auto Tune Episode 3

'Over Logging' received mixed reviews. Travis Fickett of IGN said that 'Ultimately 'Over Logging' attempts to be a satire on our over reliance on and addiction to the Internet. However, it only raises the topic without actually having much to say or jokes to tell' and that 'it's all build up with not much pay-off. That's the way much of the episode functions – as if there's a big joke on the way that never really arrives. There's a Close Encounters reference, and the revelation that 'The Internet' is just a giant router. Kyle figures out that all you have to do is unplug it and plug it back in – the catch-all solution'. Fickett gave the episode 7 out of 10.^[4]

Josh Modell of The A.V. Club gave the episode a 'C' grade and noted that 'There was one big message – we're overly reliant on the Internet, and we mostly use it for time-wasting bullshit – which was beaten until it wasn't all that funny anymore.'^[3]

Brad Trechak of TV Squad said of the plot 'As someone who works with the Internet for his day job, I had some problems with the simplistic way that it was presented. The Internet is used for much more than shopping or e-mailing (or, indeed, porn). Entire industries rely on it. The only part that struck me as truthful was seeing people live in a Great Depression-type state without the Internet.'^[2]
