"Over Logging" will be episode 1206 (#173) of the animated series South Park.[1] It was originally broadcast on April 16, 2008. It parodies the novel The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck as well as the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Plot summary
No one in South Park has Internet access and there is no telling when, or even if, it will come back. Desperation sets in as the fear of the unknown spreads rapidly across the country. When Randy hears there still may be some Internet out in California, he packs up his family and heads west in search of a signal.[2]
Trivia
