The boys take their place among an elite group
who have made television history when Cartman proclaims the "S" word
for all the world to hear. He says it so often that the Knights of Standards
and Practices thaw out and go forth to stop people from saying it and
other words of curse, lest a dragon wake from its sleep and cause havoc
around the world. |

| Trivia |
- "Must Shit TV" is a parody of the NBC Thursday night slogan, "Must-See
TV".
- Meekrob is a kind of Thai appetizer or snack. It means "Crispy
noodle". In the Thai genuine recipe, it's fried rice noodle with
thick sweet-and-sour sauce. However, Thai resturants over the world,
which usually are own by non-Thai might change the recipe and, consequently,
it becomes "worse than shit".
- The entire plot about a network TV series airing the word "shit" is
a reference to the 14 Oct 99 episode of Chicago Hope " Vigilance
and Care" in which a character named Jack says "shit happens."
- The show "Cop Drama" as well as the entire premise of the
episode is a reference of the ABC police drama "NYPD Blue" When
it first hit the air in 1993, it broke several censorship barriers
that included "partial nudity."
- It may not have been the first time that "shit" was ever
said during a network television show, but it certainly was used here
more than at any other time. At the end of the episode the on screen
counter showed that the word was said 162 times.
- During a spring 2002 rerun cycle, this was named by Comedy Central
as the 2nd most "notorious" episode of the series.
- From this episode on, the show is animated with a new computer software
program called "Maya". Various technical errors in the animation
were evident in the first showing of this episode, most of which were
subseqently corrected.
