Yes. Here is a good explanation of this pattern...
From an
IGN interview with Trey and Matt last May (2005):
Quote:
Q: Why do you come out in these weird five and six episode segments and what denotes a season?
STONE: It's just Comedy Central. Now we do seven or eight episodes in the Spring and seven or eight episodes in the Winter. You know, it's been pretty regular for three years and it will be that way for the future. That's just Comedy Central.
PARKER: We used to do runs where it was like a string of four and then five and whatever. Now we have this very structured thing because two years ago we went to Comedy Central and said, 'We need big blocks of time in the summer to go make a movie' because we wanted to make this puppet movie, so we needed a big, huge chunk and now we have that chunk open every year to go make something else if we want. Or to go hang out in Europe and drink.
