This looks great! Now I have to watch the last 4 seasons I skipped to catch up.

I hope Connie reappears

Propane and propane accessories.

How are they going to do this without Dale? (RIP, Johnny Hardwick.) Brad Pitt going to show up again?

I really loved this show. It’s not on any free streaming channels.

Toby Huss (Khan (which is being recast) and Cotton) is taking over the role of Dale.

It ain't “aint” Cissy Cobb. The word is “Acquaintanceship” as in it was not my pleasure to make yours. I win!

You can see Luanne leaving in the credits, so I assume she’s moved away. They also show Bill having COVID and then you don’t see him again in the credits and that made me worry but Stephen Root is returning so I guess they didn’t kill him

No way they would’ve done this without the legendary Billdozer.

If only The Simpsons had the balls to let the characters age. It would breathe new life into the series. I’d sure as hell start watching the new episodes again.

Bobby is going to be 21 working in a Japaneses German Fusion BBQ restaurant in Dallas.

Do they have basements in Texas?

They AGED Bobby. I love that! I swear the Simpsons could milk it for AT LEAST 10 more years if they aged those chilrun. The possibilities they could have. I would actually start watching again.

Keep the Simpsons the way they are, they are not supposed to be real people like King of the Hill. Besides there have been many episodes of the Simpsons when Bart and Lisa and even the bully are adults through futuristic timelines, dream scenes etc.

Not at the Alamo.

This looks great. King of the Hill didn't have the same impact The Simpsons or even Family Guy did because it had a slower pace and less of an emphasis on being wacky. Bobby as an adult should be interesting.

by Anonymousreply 21May 31, 2025 7:10 PM

What I don't understand is why they sent Hank and Peggy to Saudi Arabia just for Hank to sell propane and propane accesories there then return them to Arlen. Seems extraneous but I guess it adds to Peggy's character.

Fine, and I’ll continue not watching it.

[QUOTE] they are not supposed to be real people like King of the Hill.

So what? Maybe that’s apart of the problem. And all of these other cartoon shows with “real people” don’t let the characters age, either. Unless I’m missing something, this is the very first time we’ve ever seen it. KOTH finally broke the ground and hopefully more shows will follow.

The Simpsons is doing fine without you, r23. King of the Hill didn't have a gradual ageing of the characters. It's been off for 15 years. They can get away with it.

Simpsons floating timeline is weird now. Homer pretty much grew up in the 90s for the current era so in flashback he's essentially got Bart's childhood.

There are rumors that keep getting yanked from the King of the Hill subreddit that Jonathan Joss, who voices John Redcorn and had a public meltdown recently at a KOTH event, was fatally shot by a neighbor earlier tonight. Here's one of the deleted threads. Local news has since confirmed a deadly shooting on the block where he lives but they haven't yet identified the victim.

Joss has been in the grips of a mental crisis for some time now and a recent fire that destroyed his childhood home and killed several of his dogs seemed to be a tipping point. If he's named as the deceased, some articles might mention a boyfriend or husband. That would refer to a younger trans guy he often shares photos of on Instagram.

Somebody once said that Bobby Hill is the most complexly written child character is television history, and I agree. Although he is instantly recognizable, he transcends being a mere type. His best quality is his constant sunniness (which is undermined usually only by worry or in one hilarious episode by where he becomes suddenly woke over Thanksgiving--excuse me, "Thanks-taking"--celebrations).

Loved the John Redcorn character. All those supporting characters helped make King of the Hill interesting and vibrant.

It's one of my favorite animated sitcoms because it's the one most grounded in reality. I'm not from Texas but from Kansas/Nebraska and all those kinds of characters in KOTH are VERY familiar to me. Including John Redcorn.

Mike Judge has always made it clear he never wanted to get too overtly political.

If you're expecting heavy handed Trump stuff, I don't think it's gonna happen.

Now, the show will certainly use conservative shit as part of the dynamic...they always have. It's a fairly sly satire of Texas, after all.

It's also a show where Hank had issues with W running for president because Hank had shook W's hand at a rally and W had a weak handshake which horrified Hank.

When I lived in Japan, this was on TV all the time, dubbed in Japanese. They used standard Japanese (Tokyo dialect), but they should have used a regional one like Osaka or even farther west.
