List of episodes

The second season of South Park, an American animated television series created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, began airing on April 1, 1998. The second season concluded after 18 episodes on January 20, 1999; it remains the longest season of South Park to date.[1] While most of the episodes were directed by series creator Trey Parker, Season 2 includes two episodes directed by Eric Stough.

Broadcast

The first season of the show concluded with the episode "Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty Slut", broadcast on Comedy Central in the United States on February 25, 1998, and had a cliffhanger ending regarding the identity of Cartman's father. The episode scheduled for April 1, 1998 promised to resolve the mystery,[2][3] but was in fact an April Fools' Day joke on the creator's part: "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus", an entire episode revolving around the two title characters.[4] The April 1 episode was supposed to be a one-off, with the rest of the season starting in May.[2][5] However, following overwhelmingly negative fan reaction, the episode resolving the Cartman's father storyline, "Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut", was moved from its planned May 20 air date to April 22.[4][6] "Ike's Wee Wee" then started a six-episode weekly run of the season when it was broadcast on May 20.[7][4][8][9][10]

The show went on a summer break of a month and a half, and returned for another six-episode run on August 19, with the episode "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls". The next installment came after a three-week break, with the Halloween episode "Spookyfish", which aired on October 28. The next two episodes were "Merry Christmas, Charlie Manson!" and "Gnomes", airing on December 9 and 16 respectively. The final episode of the season, "Prehistoric Ice Man" aired after five weeks of hiatus, on January 20, 1999. The third season then started a few months later, in April 1999.
