The BBC sessions also sound great. But the point of the live album they made was just to re-record the original, having never been satisfied by the original album (and rightly so.)

One of those very rare albums where their live counterparts exceeded the studio versions. I'm so glad they released that live album because it just sounds so much richer.

He's a massive douche nozzle. He won't be missed.

I really do love Pete, though. They need to somehow weave Pete into more plotlines. He's too good for 30 seconds of screen time.

I've always found this to be a rather strange episode.

You picked TODAY to post the primer about arguably the finest director in the history of the medium? You pricks. Thanks a lot. Now I have to read this twice over. And maybe go watch The King of Comedy.

I would totally agree. It's one of my favorites. I was kinda annoyed at first they brought him back tonight, when continuity wise he shouldn't be. But this is South Park, and of course they brought a justifiable (and hilarious) conclusion to bringing him back.
