List of episodes

The nineteenth season of the American animated sitcom South Park premiered on Comedy Central on September 16, 2015, and ended on December 9, 2015, containing ten episodes.[1] As with most seasons of the show, all episodes are written and directed by series co-creator and co-star Trey Parker. The Blu-Ray and DVD sets were released exclusively to Best Buy on August 16, 2016, and were available worldwide on September 6.[2]

Much like the previous season, this season features an episode-to-episode continuity, with political correctness as a recurring theme. This season introduced PC Principal as a new major character, replacing South Park Elementary's previous principal, Principal Victoria.

This season featured pre-planned "dark weeks", weeks where no new episodes aired. These were after episode three, episode six, and episode eight.[3]

Reception

James Poniewozik of The New York Times considered it a revitalizing season for the series, praising its "ambitious, serialized story" and characterizing it as "something like a grand — if messy — unified theory of anger, inequality and disillusionment in 2015 America."[14]
