Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Coney Island hot dog stand is an actual hot dog-shaped eatery located in Bailey, CO (the show notes it as being in Aspen Park, which was in fact its home from 1970 until 2006) Sadly, the main premise of its inclusion in this real estate-themed episode (as of March 2022) is true - the stand (and its adjoining property) is up for sale, for almost $1.5M.
- GoofsWhen Mrs Cartman drags Eric away from the house they're both trying to show the prospective buyers both families disappear - they should be in the background during the conversation.
- Quotes
Liane Cartman: I got a job, Eric.
Eric Cartman: I'm your job!

We've seen this already
The City Side of Town did this so much better, not to mention other episodes making fun of "city" people. Here the joke is amusing but one note, and used and leaned on throughout the episode. Much like Mr. Kim use of the word city. And obviously Cartman was just being manipulative.
There's some amusing parts to this episode, like with the realtors, but not really laugh out loud funny and it felt too safe. I also felt they could've done a better job focusing on or examining Eric and his mom's relationship. Especially since we came away with nothing new. We already know Cartman is a master manipulator and his mom always caves and caters to him. Maybe this is just a set up for a season character arc?
Overall this episode was forgettable, the writing lazy and, worst of all, it was boring.
