What am i going to do?

Im going to do an older version of the 'Kids TV animation' for teenagers. Im going to be looking at cartoons like south park and futureama and analysing the way they attract their veiwers. I have chosen teenagers as my target audience because i enjoy watching these sorts of cartoons.

Im focousing on South park for my TV Animation because i really like the way these school children cause trouble, this attracts lots of teenagers because it is funny to them but does not always appeal to adults becasue of the show being so imature. The show is based on a group of four boys;
Stan, Kyle, Eric and Kenny and we follow the adventures they share in South Park. The town, sometimes described in the show as "a pissant white-bread mountain town", is also home to an assortment of frequent characters such as students, families, school staff, and other residents. The settings on the show include the local elementary school, the bus stop, various neighborhoods, the shops and businesses along the town's main street, and the surrounding snowy landscape, all of which are based on the appearance of similar locations in the town of Fairplay in Colorado
The character Stan is portrayed as the
everyman of the group, as he is described as "a normal, average, American, mixed-up kid". Kyle is the distant Jew among the group, and his drawing in this role is often dealt with mockingly. Stan is modeled after Parker (one of the producers), while Kyle is modeled after Stone (another producer). Stan and Kyle are best friends, and their relationship, which is intended to reflect the real-life friendship between Parker and Stone, is a common topic throughout the series. Cartman is loud, obnoxious, and obese he is often portrayed as an antagonist whose anti-Semitic attitude has resulted in an ever-progressing rivalry with Kyle. Kenny, who comes from a poor family, wears his parka hood so tightly that it covers most of his face and muffles his speech.
