They did some kind of partnership with Hulu, and totally fucked up something great. So no more free episodes. The irony is they just did an episode ripping on this kind of practice.
South Park Studios ruined

I live in the UK, so it's blocked off to me. It's a shame.
From the looks of it, you can still watch episodes for free. You just have to disable adblock.
It's not worth it if you ask me.
It's a hell of a lot better than Family Guy.
Anyway so no more free online episodes huh? Do we still get to watch the ones which were previously online though?

Not anymore, IMO. The best of South Park, sure, way better than the best of Family Guy. But I'll take the worst of Family Guy over the past few years of South Park.
South Park related, but does anyone remember South Mars?
Basically bootleg South Park merchandise but it said South Mars instead of South Park.
Must be pretty obscure because I can find no images on Google images and only found brief mention of people remembering such a thing via normal Google search.
Similar to like Robert Cop (Robocop bootleg merch) and so forth.

That's quite drastic, I'd say.
You'd really rather watch the Family Guy episode where Quagmire's dad gets a sex change (the worst Family Guy episode I've seen, so bear with me) than recent South Park? I mean, different strokes for different folks, but that sounds hard to believe.

Futurama is better.

Wrong. The Simpsons is the best.
Well, another small and wonderful company bought out and ruined by a corporation.
Never bothered to watch South Park anyway.

Yes. Honestly, that one's not too bad. It beats the hell out of anything from the latest South Park season, which was even less funny than the several previous underwhelming seasons. I got like 2 actual laughs out of it, which were both from World War Zimmerman. Informative Murder Porn got a couple "heh"s and "pshh"s from me. I think I can say at least a little more for just about any season of Family Guy so far, though it has declined, just not at the rate of South Park. Older South Park still makes me laugh out loud. Goth Kids 3 bored the hell out of me and finding out Black Friday was a freaking three parter made me groan.

I hate it when websites don't allow adblock. Blip.tv is another one of those sites that does that. At least I haven't had a reason to got there since NintendoCapriSun's account was deleted.

South Park stopped being relevant years ago, it's just not funny anymore.
This argument always comes up when someone mentions South Park's nosedive in quality and really, it's just BS. I still catch episodes from before it went downhill and I still find them funny.
Hulu, being owned by the 1%, expands the corporate monopoly over TV content. They don't care what you say, and they will just rub their tits.
These people are sadistic and do not care about their viewers. They would willingly rip your eyes out and then pee in the sockets! They will poison your milk and make you cut off your leg to reach the antidote!
We need to demand new laws restricting corporate monopoly control, and we need laws bringing competition to service providers.
INFORMATIVE MURDER PORN--that's the episode.
I believe in the ultimate triumph of evil over good in this world.
It doesn't help that we keep funding our enemies.
Okay, so, my rating of popular long-running comedy cartoon shows as to which are better than others
The Simpsons > King of the Hill > Futurama > South Park > Family Guy > American Dad/etc garbage
Taking the shows as-a-whole and not just recent episodes or what have you. Best vs. best if you want.
Matt and Trey agreed to this "deal" and have clearly sold out big time. Access cut to the States this Fall, and access permanently cut off internationally.
Regardless of the shark jump stuff, we need to BOYCOTT South Park right away. Do not watch it on TV, and most certainly DO NOT watch it on Hulu/SouthPark Studios.
If people go and support the show with the fees, it will give corporations more incentive to do the same thing with other content. Heck, maybe Newgrounds itself will be sold to Hulu (given its recent struggles) and we'll have to pay the subscription fee just to watch movies and play games HERE.

I was gonna say it depends on the era for some of those shows. If we're talking purely of the best of each, I'd say
Futurama ≥ (maybe =) the Simpsons > South Park > King of the Hill > Family Guy > American Dad
But if we're talking how they are now or the state they were in when they ended,
final Futurama season > current Family Guy > current South Park ≥ most recent I've seen of the Simpsons > most recent I've seen of American Dad (I don't think I've seen much of later KotH)

What about Bob's Burgers or any of the newer shows that have more than 3 seasons?

South Park is different now, and so it doesn't sit well with how you think it should still be.. like when you were 13.
I would say this is partly true and partly false. Namely, you do have the nostalgia factor, but also sometimes older things were genuinely better even without nostalgia factor. Or perhaps not better but where you would like them more. Like if you'd never seen a single episode ever and just watched them all at one time and decided you liked the older episodes better, that wouldn't really be nostalgia factor. Differences of tastes and opinion and all that.

Still better than majority of the threads you have posted.

Only saw one episode of Bob's Burgers. Didn't like it. But one episode isn't enough to base an opinion on so no vote there. Not sure which other shows you might have in mind. There are some older canceled shows I liked a lot though. The PJ's was good although almost everyone else seemed to hate that show. Daria was pretty good too but I don't think that's really in the same category?

Dunno, really.
I'd love to suggest Rick and Morty, but it isn't 'long-running'.

Yeeeeah, no, that's horseshit. If I watch something I found funny when I was a kid but don't now, I don't laugh. I've gone back to watch Kenan and Kel and All That and just shook my head. Early Ren and Stimpy was funny to me as a kid and still is now (Sven Hoek, a Yard Too Far, and in the Army crack me up). The Amanda Show isn't. Some things we liked as kids actually were funny. I find older South Park funny because it is funny. Nostalgia doesn't make me laugh. Why is this stupid argument ALWAYS brought up every single time someone says South Park has become crap, but not necessarily when it's said about the Simpsons? Sometimes, TV shows run out of steam when they get long in the tooth. It happens all the time, and it did with South Park. If I had never seen the earlier episodes, they'd still be funny to me. And when it turned to shit, it wasn't the first time the show changed, either. For a time, it got funnier when it changed somewhere around the early 2000s.

i'm talking south park, my god the most they've done is make it so it looks like they're moving when they turn around and include actually cool looking special effects
Yeah South Park was never one for animation quality, that's for sure. They were lazy from the very start but that was sort of the point I thought.
I've never really been into South Park anyway

And what about Rick & Morty? Granted theres only been one season, but if season 2 is half as good as 1 then I am REALLY looking forward to it.

As am I.
It seems like one of those shows that are great but they get canceled by the 4th or 3rd season.
I don't want Rick and Morty to last a long time.
It'll get watered down and old if it lasts more than 6 seasons-- unless the writers are good at what they do and it just gets better with every season.
