What Season 5 of South Park

Season five opens with a TV drama that airs an episode containing a swear word, and the town starts repeating it nonstop. Then Timmy and his new rival Jimmy face off in a fight between disabled kids, while Big Al Gay loses his scout troop leadership because of his sexual orientation. Cartman, meanwhile, seeks revenge on Scott Tenorman, an older kid who always gets the better of him. The boys try to reconcile Terrance and Phillip for an Earth Day assembly. The four boys are the main characters, but the weight of the chaos falls on Cartman, whose obsession with getting his way drives almost every storyline.
