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.
