King Of The Hill Appreciation Thread

The comedy makes fun of Hank's conservative tendencies. If you watch you'll see they make fun of every side.

Hey! Don't take the enjoyment away!

And If you watch the Goode Family, you can see it from the opposite perspective.

That was my take as well.

I’ll tell you what, I’d hate to see a reboot. The odds it would be as good as the original are slim, as surely as my name is Rusty Shackleford.

Yeah, I’m in the “no” camp for a reboot as well. It would just end up being a disgrace to the original.

This was me on our school robotics competition trip, when one of the students talked me into trying to play “GTA”:

That's not what Ben Shapiro said in his book Primetime Propaganda, where I saw it recommended. I reckon you don't want this thread to turn "political", and I don't either, but it is undeniable that the show does lean in a certain direction: it's hardly 'centered'. The ridicule and comical critique it pointed at many cultural aspects enshrined by the Links is one reason I love it.

See?

Just to throw in my $.02, I felt like the humor used in the show was done in a good-natured way, so even conservatives enjoyed it. I can't say the same thing about shows today, 90% of which I refuse to watch.

(For reference, and without being too political, I am, or at least was, pretty much a centerist by 90s standards. Today, I'm a raving ***** *********** ****** ****, somewhere right of B*****M********. The fact that this happened without me changing any of my views is puzzling to me.)

Classic show. I remember it being good all the way to the end

 

[gerryp]

Oh btw....no reboot. In fact, no more reboots of anything.

Oh man....

Thanks for mentioning that other show: now I know I must avoid it! (Although the cover picture woulda steered me clear right off the bat as well!)

The lady who played Lou Anne and Bobby died a tragic death.. She would be hard to replace, I tell you what

Precisely what happened to me, although I was never in the centre. I am a moderate, but since they started and kept moving the centre links, I'm now seen as extreme (which I ain't).

Yeah, I also refuse to watch most of current offerings. I don't even have or want cable. And screw Netflix.

That's why I jumped at the suggestion of King of the Hill in the works I mentioned above. For the most part, I'm still watching reruns (DVDs) of Inspector Gadget and Cats and Co.

Brittany Murphy did Bobby’s voice too? Damn, I didn’t know that.

Ho on the reboot. My God! He cooked with propane!

I'm not sure what the difference is between centrist and moderate. I guess I'm just conservative on some things and liberal on others. I don't watch Netflix except for Norsemen and Toast of London. I'm about to cancel HBO due to both lack of watchable new content and the fact that they made Lovecraft Country. The person responsible for that show should be in prison.

That's the difference, mate: I lean same way in all things. ➡ ?

Hmm, going through my disc-case I see I have the whole series of The Legend of Prince Valiant too. ?

Didn't know about that. Saw the whiskypedia page on her just now: sad, really.

My favourite moment of the series:

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

As far as the political side of this goes, and there isn't one... I believe the show was too politically neutral to exist today.

 

[olkofri]

I've always wondered how truly it reflects life in Texas. ?

Oh, and were there any pipes in the show? I can't remember off the top of my head now.

It’s good, but I like Mike Judge’s other creation, Beavis and Butt-Head. Comedy Central recently announced it had ordered a second revival of the series consisting of two new seasons along with spin-offs and specials... Office Space is a hilarious movie as well.
