I admit, when I first saw season 19 and 20, I thought it was different and less funny. I didn't understand that just like the show gets older, so do I. Now I am 34(almost 35) and I love that the show grows up and asks us to do so with them. It doesn't mean we can't enjoy older seasons, but even back then, there was a lot of subtle stuff I never noticed until recently (like Randy's crap episode basically being a mockery for a show like Southpark winning a prize).
Season 20 for me now is always a highlight. It is for one interesting to see Gerald instead of Randy as a main character. And at the same time, I really enjoy Butters going MGTOW, Cartman showing another side to himself (although of course he wouldn't be himself if he didn't return to selfish form) and them parodising both political parties and their leadership.
I read that many people didn't like the Eric and Heidi storyline, but I never understood why. To me, I actually would welcome if the boys would have a relationship for some time or some seasons. It would add to their characters. And I admit, I like that soap opera feeling it gives us. Isn't it kind of sweet to see even an a-hole like Eric to be happy for a change? Or Butters getting a slow Cosby with his Canadian girlfriend last year? Isn't it all something we can all relate to?
Sadly, the show as of now (2020) went the wrong way in my eyes, being far too much Randy. I would have enjoyed more seasons in a season-long arch. It didn't hurt the videogames and it didn't hurt the show.
