South Park Season 1
The first season of the animated television series ''South Park'' aired on Comedy Central from August 13, 1997 to February 25, 1998. The creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone wrote most of the season's episodes; Dan Sterling, Philip Stark and David Goodman were credited with writing five episodes.

The low-budget, crudely made film featured prototypes of ''South Park'''s main characters and was followed in 1995 by another short film of the same name, generally referred to as ''Jesus vs. Santa'', which became popular and was widely shared over the Internet.
