TORONTO (December 8, 2016) – Respect Much’s au-thor-i-tah! SOUTH PARK’s foul-mouthed fourth graders are taking over Much this holiday season, and they’re maybe (almost definitely) going to ruin Christmas! For the first time ever, Much is airing all 20 seasons of the EMMY® award-winning animated series in a two-week marathon running every night from 9 p.m. – 5:30 a.m. beginning Christmas Eve, Saturday, Dec. 24 through Sunday, Jan. 8.
Viewers can tune in to the SOUTHPARK 20 marathon and relive all 277 episodes of the eerily topical series, from the Tom Cruise Scientology episode “Trapped in the Closet” to episodes like “Canada on Strike,” which hilariously depicts Canadiana. The SOUTHPARK 20 marathon also includes fan-favourite Christmas episodes like “#happyholograms,” “Merry Christmas Charlie Manson,” and “A Very Crappy Christmas.”
