Did you see the last episode Ferris? There is a scene where two of the characters are talking (about their relationship) and everything they say (the excitement is gone, same ol' thing every week, it just isn't fun anymore, etc.) gives you the distinct impression that it is Matt & Trey talking about the show.

I heard their contract with Comedy Central is up after this season. I kind of hope they keep the show going, but on their own time. Any time they get a good idea for an episode, they could make it and distribute it on their website. I think there are plenty of good ideas left in them, and in this way they are free from both obligation and censorship. Even if we only ended up with an episode or two a year, I think this would be a great way for them to continue the show without being obligated to spit out a mediocre episode when they don't have anything to say.

As a matter of fact I did see that one (DVR every new episode) and I know exactly what you're talking about. I got the very same impression as you.

Your idea is awesome, I'd love to get the occasional treat and the regular dud.

Plus, those guys are riding really high right now on Broadway with their Mormon play, I think they are looking forward to giving up on South Park for the time being. But, I absolutely don't think they can let it go completely, they've invested damn near two decades into the characters and plot-lines.
