We've been starved for Comedy Central and, in particular, South Park, ever since we moved to Arkansas.
Our cheesy cable system is heavy on local access and religious programming, but does not offer Comedy Central, even as a premium channel.
But a wonderful thing happened over the weekend. We discovered the South Park Studios website where you can stream or download episodes from all 12 South Park seasons.
After watching a couple of episodes from the current season on Sunday night on our SONY Vaio laptop, I realized the only thing standing between us and watching this stuff on our 42" Sharp Aquos was a cable.
So I went to Circuit City yesterday and plunked down about $36 for a VGA/SVGA cable, used it and my iPod video cable to link computer and TV and voila, South Park on demand on the big screen with home theatre sound.
We watched five episodes last night and are in South Park heaven. We can also stream previous episodes of The Office and several other TV shows as well as any other Internet content.
Yes, having the laptop on a table next to the TV console is an inelegant solution, but it will have to do for now. The ultimate fix would probably be Apple TV, a box that establishes a Wifi connection between your TV and your wireless router to view anything that's on your hard drive(s) or on the Internet.
