We just didn’t get it done. When you always cut it close, sometimes you mess up. That’s the price of being a procrastinator.

“sometimes” aka, literally only 1 time that happens to coincide with mass censorship surrounding a dude they’ve shit on recently.
Yeah fucking right…

Release the unfinished episode! They should release all the scraped content they have made
-
meh, it would be a mess to talk about episodes if you have to precise the commit number to be sure you saw the same version

Its cool. They can take all the time they need. The last two weeks have been... Chaos, and thats putting it mildly.

I haven't seen a photo with them in at least 15 years, they look at lot older than what I remember them (which is fair, just pointing out how tike flies).

I don’t think they were censored, but I also don’t think ‘they just didn’t get it done in time,’ or at least more than just that.
I’d imagine it’s more that because of what happened, it just made the episode not work for whatever reason so they needed to redo some or all of it, which lead to the delay.
The episode didn't live up to the absurdity of real life.
You don't think that it is strange that nearly after 30 years of making episodes suddenly they can't make it on time?
I think Paramount imposed 2 weeks so they can review, so they likely work close to the deadline to defy that, but Paramount requested a change so this imposed another delay.
Anyway if you look at episodes 1-4 each of them are more and more tame, the attention is taken away from trump. In the first one they were ridiculing trump in 4 he is a "fucking Satan". Much different message. In first episode they had PSA that was done implying they will have something like that every episode (i.e. #1 of 50 - they signed a 5 year deal (5 seasons) of 10 episodes each) and it never came up again.
I don't think it's strange at all. They're 30 years older than they were 30 years ago. "Six Days to Air" was 14 years ago, and they were pulling all nighters. They have families and lots of other projects, so it's pretty reasonable to not want to live and work like that anymore.
South Park has a pretty long history of having trouble getting their episodes out on time.
Like I said, I do think it’s related to that, I just don’t think it was censorship. Probably made something in the episode untenable and so Matt and Trey decided to change it themselves.
