South Park - Season 16

This was another incredibly uneven season, and Parker's hatred for Christianity and his childish vulgarity  were often hard to take. Once again, several episodes start out well with funny ideas/setups and then just dissolve into incoherent silliness, poop jokes, and unsubtle attacks on Christianity. Laziness? Or giving the South Park audience what they want? Who knows.  My Ratings:

Excellent:  Cash For Gold,  A Nightmare on Face Time, Obama Wins.
Note: A Nightmare is a clever parody of "The shining" while the other 2 show Cartman at his manipulative best.

Good: Going Native, Butterballs,  Raising the Bar
Note: Butters Rules.

OK: Sarcastaball,  Faith Hilling,  Insecurity, Cartman finds Love
Note: Sarcastaball is one joke episode repeated far too long, the others just aren't that good.

Bad:   Jewpacabra, Reverse Cowgirl, A Scause for Applause, I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining,
Note:  South Park handles Religion badly, whether it trying to be serious or funny.  Cowgirl is all about toilets,  Ziplining is boring and includes real life actors playing "our guys". They're quite repulsive.
