Production
Written by series co-creator Trey Parker and David Goodman, and also directed by Trey Parker, "Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut" was rated TV-MA in the United States and 12 in the United Kingdom. It originally aired in the United States on Comedy Central on April 22, 1998. This episode continues the storyline from the season one episode, "Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty Slut".
This episode was originally to air on April 1, 1998, four weeks after "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut" was first broadcast, but instead of continuing the storyline from "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut", Parker and co-creator Matt Stone made an episode regarding the South Park minor characters Terrance and Philip, called Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus", as an April Fool's Day prank on viewers of the show. Upset fans wrote more than 2,000 angry e-mail complaints to Comedy Central within a week of the episode's original broadcast, and media outlets said some fans harbored a grudge against the show more than five years after the episode was broadcast. This episode was originally set to air on May 20, 1998, but Comedy Central moved up the airdate to April 22, 1998, in response to the angry feedback from fans.
The outcome of "Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut" was revisited in the season fourteen episode, "200", where it is revealed that Liane is not Cartman's father after all, as revealed by Cartman's hand puppet persona, Mitch Conner. In the following episode, "201", it is revealed that Cartman's actual father is Jack Tenorman. Jack was also the father of Cartman's arch rival, Scott Tenorman. In the season five episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die", Cartman had Jack and Scott's mother killed, and fed their remains to Scott in the form of chili. Scott reveals that he is Cartman's half-brother, and he labels him responsible for his father's death.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
