 * Comment I'd expect something from Trey Parker to get a lot of media attention, but I can find nothing about this show on reliable sources (Business 2.0 mentions it in a 5 year old article on heavy.com in Google books snippet view, but that's about it). Was Parker even involved in it? I guess it's not notable, but I'm unsure if a merge/redirect to Trey Parker is called for based on the question of whether he was in any way involved in it. The show exists but who made it and was it ever broadcast? Is this a hoax? --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:09, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete It does exist (much to my surprise, I expected the usual poor stoner 'fanart' and such), but as an unauthorized parody of three shorts meant for VH1's VH1 ILL-ustrated, which barely got any attention when it aired nine years ago besides derision (link to a Youtube video of the shorts here, and note the show aired in 2004, long before first 'shorts' within the article 'aired'); the shorts never aired on the show itself because Nick would've ceased and desisted their sister network if it made it to air. No way the creator of SBSP allows his character to be turned into a pothead, and usually Trey Parker and Matt Stone work together, not apart. And you'd think Comedy Cental would've put a lot of promotional effort into a show from a South Park creator, but I'm finding nothing at all, nor was TP involved with ILL-ustrated in any way, along with the fact of a simple schedule check should tell you other shows aired in the post South Park slot within the months it was claimed to have aired. No redirect; we're being hoaxed here at least with the 'episode guide' by someone who'd love this sketch to become a regular series eight years after this show was canceled, and the WLH numbers for ILL-ustrated are mostly about six "List of..." articles saying solely it existed. Also, the vast majority of 'episode titles' floated by the editor would've been slapped down right off by standards and practices for being offensive.

 * Comment An IP address keeps removing the deletion template and making the article into a list of episodes of something called Roomates. The actual version of the article being considered is this one. I reverted their changes once already but they just make them again so rather than get into a pointless edit war I thought it best to flag the problem here. I'm otherwise neutral regarding deletion as I know nothing about that sort of show. Keresaspa (talk) 01:08, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
