Add this year's "South Park" postelection episode to the growing list of ways last night's unexpected events shifted our country's cultural narrative.

Caught off guard like the rest of us, Trey Parker, Matt Stone and the show's producers furiously scrambled to alter the episode, which was titled "The Very First Gentleman" until a few hours prior to broadcast. Fortunately, the "South Park" team is used to taking each week's production schedule right down to the wire in order to accommodate 11th–hour culture shocks such as Donald Trump's victory.

The result, "Oh Jeez," feels a little less cathartic and joyful than past postelection "South Park" installments. Then again, many of us are still waiting for our psychic wounds to scab over. What's more significant is that it's also the first postelection episode that had to fit into a serialized arc, assigned a higher level of difficulty to an alteration already being navigated on the fly.
