I'll be honest I do watch South Park sometimes but not often. But do you think South Park is good for kids to watch it? It's true that they do say a lot of bad words in their episodes and Kenny always dies, but the only reason I watched it was because it was funny and entertaining. I think South Park are not for kids that are 10 years old and lower, because some of the scenes are for adults. And kids learn a lot of stuff by watching TV. So if your a mother or father I wouldn't recommend to let your children watch South Park

I think 10 is way to young to be watching southpark, South Park is geared toward young adults, that's one of the reasons it's on after the family hour. My kids were 16 and 17 before they started watching it.

But still kids that are under 10 can still watch it since some parents aren't that strict or they let their child sleep late or something like that

I don't think South Park is a good influence on young children, like a lot of other stuff on tv and in games that envolves a lot of violence. Series like South Park can be entertaining if you can comprehend that what happens in the series is a) fake b) not as funny in real life as on the show c) meant to be funny because they do incredibly stupid things, and not because those things themselve are funny.

South park is not for kids, It is especially made for teens to release their stress and make them mentally fit. South park often make fun of other movies and hollywood celebrities. I have seen 13 seasons of south park, i love it and i don't recommend it for children who are below 15...But strange in south park happens, 4th grade kids in school uses very very offensive words..They are using many violence scenes and also some racial discrimination by eric cartman ..This should not be shown to young children..

There is no way South Park is a good influence. If I had kids they would not be watching it. It's strickly for adults. It's very funny, but only for adults.

South Park is Rated TV-MA. It is not made for children and it is not made with children in mind. Sadly it is up to the parents to control what their children watch. To answer your question, NO children should never watch South Park. They do not have to knowledge or life experience to differentiate a JOKE from Reality and they should not be allowed to participate in the viewing of this show. Teenagers(15-17) that I have talked to on the subject are mature enough to get most of the jokes and I don't see the problem with them watching it. Adult cartoons are on the rise and becoming more and more numerous. Shows like Super Jail, Robot Chicken(Not Cartoon But Counts)and Metalacolypse are VERY popular. Adults have to realize that a Late Night Show on CARTOON Network meant for Adults is not suitable for underage children. Even if it is on a network that one might think is for children. But they are very entertaining and I am glad I can experience them. This is my opinion, we all have one! :o) - Tony
