King of the hill appreciation thread - Yup.

[Kari Kamiya]

Life in North Texas really do be like KOTH.

Also, I think this ytp is underappreciated:

I was wondering why the credits kept the "additional 3D animation". I'm glad I kept watching.

I liked Beavis and Butthead better than King Of The Hill. Who else?

But Arlen is South Texas.

Which reminds me of one of my favorite scenes:

Supposedly it's a pastiche of Garland, in North Texas, and some Austin suburbs where the various writers pulled their experiences from. In the context of the show though, the plots tend to take the characters to more north Texas locations like Dallas and its environs, or pastiches of north Texas events (the Texas State Fair, Scarborough Faire, Cotton Bowl). Excluding Mexico episodes, I think there's only one episode where they explicitly go to a South Texas type locale (a kind of pastiche of South Padre Island / Galveston), and it's always made to seem that going to south Texas or the Mexican border is a long drive from Arlen.

wHAAT IF HANK PUSHED BOBBY OFF OF THE HILL

 

[MysticMisty]

My favorite episode is Pigmalion.

Michael Keaton is great in this one. But my favorite is Petriot Act. When this episode first aired we had a cat that looked and acted exactly like Duke. The only thing Duke did that Toby didn't was throw up on the dining room table during dinner. Seeing someone else deal with our fucking cat was hilarious.

I liked Beavis and Butthead.

Hank Hill is based on Tom Anderson from Beavis and Butthead. If you wanted to know.

I've started watching King of the Hill only recently since I don't think the show aired in my country (or perhaps it did on an obscure channel). It's really good but like I said in another thread, I fucking hate Peggy. It's not just not liking a character like you would on any other show, she's an awful human being and I think she ruins some good episodes only by her presence and behavior. In an ideal timeline, she would have died in the skydiving episode.
I have a question about the show: why do they sometimes have a different opening theme?

 

[Jeff Heaney]

It never did really, people are just stupid and don't appreciate good television when they see it. KOTH has been pretty consistent across seasons. It would be nice to have a reboot with LouAnne's death, and Peggy raising baby Grace after Lucky gets depressed and takes off.

In the event a remake happens, I very much doubt Luanne would be killed off, given her actress' tragic death. I think it's more likely they would mention Lucky and Luanne moving from Arlen

"Pretty Pretty Dresses" is my favorite episode

Dallas? Sallad.

She was humble and reserved up until that skydiving episode. There's a theory that she suffered brain damage from that which caused her to act how you described.

Speaking of Boomhauer, his speech was based on some guy that complained to Judge about Beavis and Butthead.

Even better is that the guy didn't even know the name of the show. For some reason, he thought it was called, "Porky's Butthole."

Do you mean the episodes where the opening theme starts off with someone banging on a cowbell and yelling, "YAHOOOO!"? Those are the season finale episodes.

 

[A Grey Cat]

Huh I guess hank wouldn't be a Trump supporter given not only is he from New York but also how he takes his steaks

Remember the man almost reconsidered not voting for fellow Texan George w bush all because of a limp handshake

 

[UnKillFill]

They aired King of the Hill on Fox Kids back in the day.

 

[Miller]

To this day I'm still impressed by the KotH edits. I wish more people did that kind of thing instead of the generic Youtube Poops.

Yeah, I thought that it was for used for the season finales but I've heard people say that it's when there's a guest star. I don't know.

I wish Buckley had lived. His death and appearing to Luanne after death was actually really sad.

RIP Buckley

Indeed, it could had been a interesting to imagine what if Buckley had lived?

That reminds me of the others KOTH references in Family Guy and the Simpsons.

One of my favorite bits of King of the Hill media was the PSA they did for the Will Rogers Institute, where you see a hypothetical King of the Hill: The Movie.

It's almost a shame this was just a joke, but at the same time, King of the Hill would never work as a movie.
