The Internet Movie Database today reports that last week’s episode of South Park: The Passion Of The Jew was a big hit for Comedy central, much like the film that inspired it, Mel Gibson’s The Passion Of The Christ has been in theaters. “4.4 million viewers – equally stupendous by cable TV standards – tuned in to watch. It was the highest ratings the Comedy Central show has received since 1998 and was the top-rated cable telecast last Wednesday in the 18-49-year-old demo”.
