South Park: Season Premiere or Season Dud?

I was disappointed by South Park's season premiere last night. I expected more. It's the season premiere, for one thing, so it should be really a big episode. And it was the return (and demise) of Chef...sort of. But it wasn't especially good. I was hoping they'd rip on Scientology and Tom Cruise what with their press release saying that Scientology had won that battle over the episode rerun last week, but that the million-year war for Earth had just begun. ;)
Alas, it was an okay episode. It could have been much better, though. C'est la vie.
