How many episodes are in South Park’s first season? South Park’s first season has 13 episodes.
The season aired on Comedy Central from August 13, 1997, through February 25, 1998. It introduced viewers to Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, Kenny McCormick, and the oddities of their Colorado mountain town.
Comedy Central initially ordered six episodes. After the series became a breakout success, seven additional episodes were produced, bringing the completed first season to 13. That expansion helped establish South Park as one of the network’s defining original series.
The season includes early classics such as “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe,” “Big Gay Al’s Big Gay Boat Ride,” “Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo,” and the two-part finale “Cartman’s Mom Is a Dirty Slut.” The total is sometimes confused with later seasons, many of which contain 14 episodes.
