I'm pretty sure people in Quebec City would know King of the Hill (they even have it dubbed in french in Quebecand hank is changed to Henri)
So is it over or what?

On the dvd of the first season, there were a few eps that had "character commentaries". That ep had Peggy and Bobby;when that joke came up, they were all like, "Why does he try to be funny?"

So, okay, I passively watched the first season of this when it first aired (in much the same way that I passively watched Ned and Stacy, which preceded KOTH in the mid-Simpsons/X-Files timeslot) and thought it was okay but, well, it was during a time of upheaval in my life just before my contemporaneous tv viewing largely came to a halt, so I never got any further. But I started rewatching from the beginning and...hey, it's actually a whole lot better than I remember. Probably too subtle and sly for me to have fully appreciated 20+ years ago. This is quality COVID-era viewing: at least one solid belly laugh per episode plus legit and unsaccharine feelings. Just what I need to break the monotony of staring at a wall as I quietly weep.

im in a similar boat. didn't hate it when it came out but was far from loving it. if I watch an episode now, 20 odd years later, I love it

I guess this must just be how I come to Mike Judge shows. I couldn't stand watching Beavis & Butthead when it was first airing because it reminded me too much of real-life dipshits in my high school. Then I revisited it a decade and a half later and realized, oh hey, this shit is genuinely hilarious.

Verdict from the 15-year old is positive! Doubt it will be her first choice, but she definitely liked it, and Greg Daniels' name definitely made an impression, fwiw. .

feel like I quit watching it in real time right before Lucky showed up. I could probably stand to rewatch from the beginning. 13 seasons is a lot tho

im watching this through for the first time - i watched it at the time but not consistently every week and only for the first 5 or 6 seasons. caught the odd episode of the later seasons but only very few. it holds up tremendously well. it is much better than i remember it being even. i feel that perhaps the family relationships and emotional moments were probably wasted on me as a teenage boy and now "hit different" as i approach middle-age. i am on season 4 and wondering when the it will start to lose its lustre.
id forgotten just how sociopathically narcissistic peggy is
― Fenners' Pen (jim in vancouver), Monday, 11 January 2021 22:10 (three years ago) link
another reflection: this show is wonderfully directed and its depiction of its specific geographical place in the world is exceptional. when i think of the quality of recent popular animated shows - especially something like big mouth, which looks like utter shit - it seems even more exceptional
― Fenners' Pen (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 12 January 2021 20:14 (three years ago) link
I fell off after watching most of the first two seasons but you are inspiring me to pick it back up.
― Meat Chew All the Way (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 12 January 2021 20:18 (three years ago) link
agree with all that. when KotH came out I was barely a teenager, the show didn't make sense to me then but I really love it now. I can't think of an animated comedy series with more three-dimensional characters. I love that none of the main characters are caricatures, they all seem very real in a way you don't see often in a sitcom.
maybe this is just curmudgeonly grumbling of a 90's kid but growing up I remember every animated show having its own very distinct style; The Simpsons, KotH, Rugrats, Rocko, Home Movies, all the weird MTV shit...now everything looks like an ugly Family Guy crossover.
― frogbs, Tuesday, 12 January 2021 20:23 (three years ago) link
Yeah, kind of really hate that 'overly-slick digitally-animated replication of 2D hand-drawn animation, oh and P.S. every character must have Garfield-style eyes' shit.

#OneThread
The song was initially inspired by King of the Hill character Hank Hill and his passion for propane and propane accessories, as Todd is a huge fan of the series, with the song being originally titled "I love that propane". He later changed "propane" to "cocaine", after receiving a cease-and-desist from Fox, who owned the rights to the series. Todd subsequently re-wrote the lyrics to describe his time using the drug.
