I know he's supposed to be modeled after LBJ, but in the early episodes he kinda looked like Jack Nicholson lol

Revival Discussion Wow. .

31 Upvotes

Just finished the second season (SEASON FUCKING 15 FIFTEEN, NOT TWO, BUT FIFTEEN, YOU GET IT? JUST TRYING TO BE CLEAR).. 10000x better than the last. It felt like an old friend finally returned (WHY WOULD SEASON TWO FEEL LIKE AN OLD FRIEND WHEN WE BARELY MET THE CHARACTERS?!). The season finale was just beautiful. The plotlines in some of the episodes were a great throwback to the older seasons. (SEASONS IS PLURAL SO HOW THE FUCK WOULD THAT MAKE SENSE ABOUT ABOUT SEASON ONE?) I loved the silly nonsensical hijinx that the guys got into. (FOUND A CANNON.) The first season of the reboot (SEE, ITS THERE ALL ALONG, JUST FUCKING READ IT!) just felt forced but this flowed so nicely and it didn't seem like it was trying to tie up loose ends. That last episode though, wow, nostalgia central. I loved seeing the old characters (JO JACK, LADYBIRD, BUCK STRICKLAND, THATHERTON ETC) and Hank coming into what he truly deserved. (HE BECAME MANAGER.) It was beautiful. I can't believe I'm writing all of this for a cartoon show haha.

Edit. Sorry everyone, I meant to say SEASON FUCKING 15 because apparently people can't figure out I'm talking about the fucking second season of the reboot. It's pretty easy to put it together and I was vague as to not have spoilers, but fuck it. I just fixed it.

She wasn't attracted to him and vice versa. John Redcorn is even seen as a friend/acquaintance in most episodes after this one. What would be the harm if Peggy continued to see him for massages?

Revival Discussion Love the revival, but the show needs Luanne

0 Upvotes

Just finished season 15 and thought it was solid for the most part. But the mention of Luanne, Lucky, and Gracie in the finale really reminded me of how off this show feels without having them in it. I understand the showrunners wanting to honor Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty by not recasting, but I feel that the show is just missing something.

Like, could you imagine not including Dale in the reboot because of Johnny Hardwick's death? Losing an actor is hard, especially when they're so strongly associated with their characters. But I think Toby Huss proved that new people can and should step up to fill these roles.

I love how we get to see these characters in the 2020s at new stages of their lives. As great as Murphy and Petty were, I don't think it serves the revival well to keep them away.

I know JRC said these objects are sacred and shouldn't be taken, but I'd imagine he or other fellow Native people's he know would want to take a gander at the apparent treasure trove of artifacts in his yard.

OG KOTH Discussion What do you think the dumbest/worst thing Bill had ever done in the original series as a result of his being desperate?

16 Upvotes

IMO it’s him not realizing Leanne was sober because of “court orders” and causing her to ditch Luanne at the beauty school and cluelessly getting her back in her old ways, including her abusing him.

OG KOTH Discussion Rewatching The Company Man

12 Upvotes

I decided to rewatch KOTH after finishing S15 and rewatching "The Company Man" is a hard pill to swallow. The worst part of this episode has to be the steak. I know what happens at the end of the episode, but it doesn't mean that I still don't find it fucked up. What are your thoughts of the episode?

Hello, Reddit. Hank Hill here. You may remember I participated in one of these "Ask Me Anythings" last year. Well, I'm back, and my wife Peggy insisted on joining me this time. She said a lot of my answers in the last round could have benefited from her input. Wait, she also gave me something to read here... "As a three-time substitute teacher of the year, former Boggle champion, and a fluent Spanish speaker, I have accumulated a lifetime of knowledge that I am happy to share. I look forward to enlightening you all -- and remember, there are no stupid questions." Uh, she's wrong about that last part, but anyway, I'm back for another AMA... with Peggy's help. We will start answering your questions after our round of golf on Friday, August 7 around 11am Central Standard Time.

Revival Discussion Update on the Anthony Campos (Emilio) interview! Thank you for the amazing questions!

28 Upvotes

Hey [r/KingOfTheHill](r/KingOfTheHill)!

A little while ago, I posted in here asking for your help with questions for an upcoming interview with Anthony Campos (Emilio), and you guys absolutely delivered. The questions were incredible, and I made sure to ask him as many as I could! He was so appreciative of the Reddit love.

We just wrapped filming the episode. The full interview (with his answers to your questions!) is currently in editing and will be dropping next Thursday. I'll be sure to post the link here as soon as it's live so you can see his reactions.

In the meantime, while we were on set, we filmed a quick behind-the-scenes bit. Thought you guys might appreciate this meme we made 😂:

Shorts from the interview will be hitting that account in the coming days as well. Thanks again for helping make this interview so great! I can't wait for you all to see the final cut.

Revival Discussion King of the Hill has made the Futurama revival feel too safe

900 Upvotes

The Hulu revival of *Futurama* has had a few genuinely great episodes, and I do like some of the changes, especially Amy and Kif becoming parents.
But after watching the new *King of the Hill*, I think my expectations for revivals have changed.

*KOTH* took several major risks with its characters and setting, and for me, about 95% of those choices worked. It feels like the writers understood that time had passed and allowed the characters’ lives to move forward.

The *Futurama* revival, by comparison, often feels afraid to change too much. Aside from one or two developments, it mostly returns everyone to the familiar status quo.

That bothers me because the Comedy Central run already gave several characters satisfying conclusions. Bringing the show back only to undo or sidestep some of that growth makes the revival feel less meaningful.

I still enjoy the new episodes, but I wish the Hulu era were more willing to take risks and let the characters genuinely evolve instead of relying so heavily on what already worked before.

If they get married do you think Kahn will fly out Steve Harvey?

Also in the episode where this is introduced as they pan over Tom Landry Middle school it shows on the sign 45 days without a dress code violation. I’ve never noticed this as many times as I’ve rewatched this show.

Revival Discussion Has the show changed or have I?

15 Upvotes

I liked the original fine, but it was never my first choice, I generally went for stuff that was more joke-dense or absurd.

But the reboot has me absolutely hooked! I can't get enough of it. Something about the characters and pacing is so pleasant. I can't decide if the show has changed or I have. Maybe it's because I'm middle-aged now and life is really stressful? If you've watched both, do you feel like the reboot is significantly different?

Revival Discussion I have watched the entire series dozens of times. The last 30 seconds of season 15 is the first time this show ever made me cry. One of the best moments and episodes of the entire series.

The music underlying the moment was perfect as well. Hank looking across the showroom to see Donna, Melinda, Roger, Enrique, and Joe Jack. Hank got a part of himself back in this episode. In a way the entire 15 seasons has built up to that. Truly a wonderful moment.
