South Park Misses Wednesday Deadline for the First Time

It was bound to happen at some point that Matt Stone and Trey Parker would miss a deadline because of their one-episode-per-week work load as they admitted that they would do the entire job before the Wednesday portion of the week. But it turns out that the real reason behind the scheduling hitch was due to a power outage, E! Online reported.

"On Tuesday night, South Park Studios lost power," Comedy Central said in a statement. "From animation to rendering to editing and sound, all of their computers were down for hours and they were unable to finish episode 1704, 'Goth Kids 3: Dawn Of The Posers' in time for air tonight."

In order to make up for the missed episode, the South Park team decided to live-tweet the repeat episode of Scott Tenorman Must Die." They also offered up many fun-fact trivias and shared pictures of the crew in the dark studio.

"It sucks to miss an air date but after all these years of tempting fate by delivering the show last minute, I guess it was bound to happen," Parker revealed in a statement after providing 240 other episodes on time.

Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers will air on Oct. 23.
