King of the Hill

oh yeah if Bobby moves to (and stays in) a major city that definitely changes things

Peggy is 100% with her

Bill is probably a MSNBC addict liberal now. Like posters on the wall of Maddow, his secret shame.

Bill’s antifa adventures could be a series-long c-plot gag.

bobby escapes to the city and has pronouns now, sorry

bobby def went to UTA and is he/they AT MINIMUM

KoTH characters ca 1999 definitely not. But by 2020 i’d wager literally everyone in the main and supporting cast—except Bobby (maybe!), Connie, and John Redcorn—would be Trump voters with varying degrees of enthusiasm. even Khan.

this is correct

sure but it's tricky to treat sitcom characters this way

no it isnt, its fake and we can literaly make shit up

well that's the internal logic of animated shows, they can reference what year it is and talk about various current events, but the characters themselves don't get any older, so each season kind of retcons the whole timeline. if it's supposed to be 2022 but they're all the same age, then we're supposed to assume they're basically the same characters, right? idk just mentally preparing myself for Hank to say "Lets Go Brandon" in the first episode

I'd be more curious to see them age the characters 20 years myself. I would think at that point the show would center more on Bobby and perhaps make the show as he becomes a dad himself. I would not have him married to Connie though.

I'd have it that Luanne got rich and somewhat successful (except with men as sadly Lucky died like Buckley before him) and make Peggy jealous. Have her in a big Texas-sized McMansion etc.

in 20 years bobby starts going by bob and moves to the northeast to start a burger restaurant u could call it "king of the burgers"

Is Anyone Watching The Goode Family? The New Mike Judge Show

tbh I don't think they'd all go MAGA - my dad didn't sell propane but his suburban white Texan guy friends moved slightly left as often as they moved hard right. Texas liberaltarians who still like guns are definitely a type.

Hank may have been the storied McCain-Obama-Trump-Biden voter.

He would’ve voted for Romney on the basis of hair alone

he wasn’t willing to vote for George W Bush after one bad handshake, I’m sure he’d have found a reason not to vote for Trump

Trump is too showbiz and New York for Hank, I think.

He sure as hell wouldn't have voted for Hilary though, I imagine

He's retired, taking his time, grilling with charcoal. Maybe not voting.

grilling with charcoal

bwaaaaa

something that was just pointed out to me is that whenever Peggy insists something is a fact it is actually her opinion and when she claims something's her opinion it's actually a fact

Wasn’t there a bit where she was a Spanish teacher (substitute?) who couldn’t speak so
Spanish?

I regularly refer to spaghetti as spapeggy.

something I really appreciate about this show is how unique both the writing and the art style are. like it's brilliant in some ways and extremely clunky in others but they're different ways than any other animated show

Trump is too showbiz and New York for Hank, I think.

This would, on the face of it, be a dealbreaker for millions of people who ended up voting for him.

there is one scene from this show that will always make me laugh uncontrollably and it's the "oh yeah" soundbite here

pretty sure rusty shackleford plays bass on that one

Bobby, the only pizza you're gonna be eating tonight is chicken and broccoli pizza. Only without the crust and without the tomato sauce. But it will have cheese, because that's the way your mother makes it.

wonder if they'll even go on with the reboot now? Brittany Murphy's gone, Tom Petty's gone, now one of your show's most recognizable voices. and they already said they weren't gonna have Khan in it.
