South Park: The List (2007)
This episode sparkles! Sunshine!
The season finale is about a list the 4th grade girls make ranking their fellow male classmates from cutest to ugliest. Of course once the boys find out about the list, they have to have it. Which leads to some humor when the boys, most notably Butters, learns that girls don't have balls. After a second attempt the boys get the list and we find Clyde is #1 and Kyle is last, even after Cartmen. This leads to Kyle's downward spiral, he hangs out with some of South Parks most disturbing children and eventually decides to burn down the school. Stan tries to find out why Kyle is last and gets Wendy to help him. She brings Stan to a list making meeting which leads to probably the funniest part of the episode. The girls have their own language which makes great use of the words sparkle and sunshine. Wendy finds there is something odd about the list they made and tries to figure out what went wrong, however the girls threaten her and Stan to stop snooping around. I won't say anymore, except Butters is number 11 out of 16 and pretty proud of it!
Meerkat Manor (2005)
Research
As sad as it is, whether the RESEARCHERS not filmmakers, had been there or not he would have died. These men and women are researching the lives of the meerkats and are taking great care to not interfere with their way of life. It is the harsh reality that is nature. Like when Len and Squiggy died and I cried my boyfriend had to tell me that even if the researcher's hadn't been there and this hadn't been broadcast it still would have happened. That is what makes this show so great. It is heart wrenchingly sad when something bad happens but so amazing when something good happens. The way these little creatures survive surrounded by such a harsh environment; it is truly amazing. And like in nature as in life people die and we already mess with nature enough, through urban expansion and deforestation for the researchers to keep a meerkat alive that would have died in there absence would be bad. It would mess with the meerkats and the Kalahari's delicate way of life. So while yes this show has sad scenes that a researcher could prevent, it is the hard facts of life in the Kalahari and it is an amazing show.
