    "King of the Hill" appreciation thread

    Reviving this thread: KotH may be the Dangerfield among Fox's long-running shows (stuck in the early-evening slot; forced to move back and forth to make room for flops like "Oliver Beene"), but at least it doesn't get cancelled, and it's still good. I watched the new episode last night with a...

    "King of the Hill" appreciation thread

    Dangit, Fox just announced that starting February 8 King of the Hill will move back a half an hour to 7:00 so midseason returnee Oliver Beene can take the 7:30 slot. While I know logically this doesn't make much difference for the rest of the season (since the move doesn't happen until the end...

    I thought I'd bump this one up; King of the Hill has been consistently good so far this season -- its eighth -- but it just don't get the respect it deserves.

    Hank/Luanne interaction is always funny precisely because he can be such a jerk where she's concerned: PEGGY: Luanne does not have a ticket. You were supposed to buy tickets for the family. HANK: Yes, I bought tickets for the whole Hill family. Hank Hill, Peggy Hill, and Bobby Hill. PEGGY...

    Just thought I'd revive this thread... like The Simpsons, KotH's new season will start late (November 2), but a few things have been announced recently: - Fox has already renewed King of the Hill for a ninth season, so the Alamo Beer will keep popping until at least 2005. - The complete...

    "King of the Hill" appreciation thread

    Speaking of last night's episode, I was kind of appalled that they ended with the suggestion that Buck might reform and devote himself to his true saviour, Lady Propane. I could deal with Luanne moving out, Joseph growing up, Nancy breaking up with John Redcorn (though I miss, respectively...

    "King of the Hill" appreciation thread

    This is my favorite animated show too, and though I think it was better in the first three seasons or so than it is now, I have to admit it has maintained a remarkably consistent level of quality. I do think they need to cut down on the "Hank tries to toughen Bobby up" or "Bobby gets involved in...
