Sorry, Eric. You'll have to wait until next week to watch the next new episode of "South Park" due to a power outage. South Park screencap "South Park" fans will have to wait until next week for a new episode.

A power outage at South Park Studios Tuesday night prevented the crew from finishing tonight's planned episode, according a press release on the show's site.

This marks the first time in the series' 16-season history the creators missed a deadline to hand in a finalized episode before air time.

From the release:

"From animation to rendering to editing and sound, all of our computers were down for hours and we were unable to finish episode 1704 "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" in time for air tonight."

The South Park crew is known to be on a ridiculously tight schedule.

Typically, the creators make an entire episode of the series in under a week.

Comedy Central captured the intense process in a 2011 documentary "6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park."

"It sucks to miss an air date," said co-creator Trey Parker in the release. "But after all these years of tempting fate by delivering the show last minute, I guess it was bound to happen."

Instead, viewers can tune into an encore, live-tweeted presentation of popular episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die" at 10 p.m.
