South Park's 2026 Return Comes With A 22-Year-Old Problem

Although adult animated sitcoms once seemed like the bulwark of network TV comedy, the format has faced some serious ratings challenges in recent years. New shows like Krapopolis and Grimsburg struggle to match the ratings of long-runners like Family Guy or American Dad.
