King of the Hill

I've decided that the character of Peggy Hill is an amazing creation, and Mike Judge is genius for it.

"In my opinion, the day after Thanksgiving is one of the busiest days of the year to travel"

I think that every long-running comedy eventually fleshes out the characters enough that you can just have them saying really obvious things -- when you're watching The Simpsons and Lisa speaks, you're expecting a Lisa line, otherwise it somehow seems false, and they're all so predictable.

Somehow King of the Hill is now that fleshed out, and the lines are pretty much all character lines, but they still make me laugh. Better writing?

better characters - the Simpsons characters are now all just ciphers for pop culture in-jokes.

Exactly.

I'm trying to remember an episode of King of the Hill and hoping y'all can help me out.

Bobby is sitting at the kitchen table (I think) with Peggy. Apparently, he's gotten a taste of some big city because he's making fun of the smalltown nature of Arlen. Peggy says something to him and Bobby responds "What's that, mom? I couldn't hear you over the tumbleweeds and the (something else I can't recall)?"

Does anyone know what episode that's from? Episode title and season number would be greatly appreciated. Thanx!

Isn't that from the one where Hank took Bobby to the Cowboys training camp in Wichita Falls?

> haha Peggy records her own DVD commentaries

that one was on here over christmas. as mentioned upthread, it's gone from friday night highlight to something they put out at 02.xx on weekday mornings. great for the pvr owners and insomniacs, bad for everyone else.

> Hank forgets to renew the insurance

and this one.

Isn't that from the one where Hank took Bobby to the Cowboys training camp in Wichita Falls?

No, that's not it; I just rewatched that one. Although while watching it, it certainly seemed like it would be the episode in question.

Maybe Bobby's getting snooty for another reason... Help?

It's the one where Connies cousin comes over from LA.

"I'm sorry mom, I couldn't hear you over the crickets and banjo's"

Episode 3, Season 7

OMG! That's soooo it! Thanx BILLIONS!!!!!!

i don't watch the current series, still good? this show was always so underrated

Still good. Second best cartoon currently on TV, after V. Brothers. Amazing how high the quality has been over such a sustained period.
I went through a few months where I tivo'd and watched every episode.

had a couple of gloriously funny years circa the turn of the millenium. now is sweet but boring.

new series is still the good

Watching most of the older seasons now, series 7 particularly stands out as being a) silly but b) the funniest.
