South Park - "The Ungroundable" - 11/19/2008
Season 12 Finale.

Spoiler:
Butters is sure he’s seen a Vampire at school but he can’t get anyone to listen to him. Meanwhile, the Goth Kids are angry and frustrated when the other kids can’t tell the difference between a Goth and a Vampire.

Seems like it might tie into the Twilight movie/book that's all the rage with the tweenie girls these days. I sure hope the uber-mature and macho South Park fanbase is prepared to blast it because they might not be familiar with the source material

Butters-centric episodes are always gold. This may be the only episode of this run I'll enjoy.

It's more likely a take on Twilight.

Agreed. Although I preferred him when the only curse word he knew as "Hamburgers!"

I don't think anyone was familiar w/ last week's source material either ("high school musical"?), but I enjoyed it.

FINALLY... a great episode this season. I knew it would take a whole lot of Butters to pull it off.

The Vamps actually hovering in front of HT was the only thing missing from this episode.

Overall, this episode was fucking awesome but at the same time it's foreshadowing the shit that's coming after this Friday.

Butter's dad was hysterical - who knew he was so anal about the pantry being in alphabetical order.

too bad there's wasn't a "Let the Right One In' visual gag, like say... Butter's getting attacked by cats...

I'd give it a C+/B-. Slightly above average, but still pretty good.

This was an instant classic.. especially Cartman's casual reaction to Butters trying to bite his neck.

Best episode of this run......of course, that's not necessarily saying a whole lot.

Meh. I usually love Butters-centric episodes, but this one fell flat. This season has been a major disappiontment so far.

Season finale already?? How many episodes did they do this time around? What a forgetful season. I guess I'm too old when last night's episode didn't make ANY sense whatsoever.

Season 12 -
Tonsil Trouble
Britney's New Look
Major Boobage
Canada On Strike
Eek, A Penis!
Over Logging
Super Fun Time
The China Probrem
Breast Cancer Show Ever
Pandemic
The Startling
About Last Night...
Elementary School Musical
The Ungroundable

With the exception of "Eek, A Penis!" and this episode, this was a lackluster season at best.
