This frame is a good example of something that gets really annoying, and once you see it you can't unsee it. Look at the vignetting in the upper left corner. Those vignette marks pop up all the time (except for the last season). And not in the same place--one, two, three, or all four corners.

Edit: Here's an example of a frame clipped on three sides.

I'm guessing the full-frame background cels were shot in a frame with rounded corners, and then sometimes unevenly cropped. I never really noticed it on TV, but watching the DVDs on the computer or seeing episodes on a newer flat screen, they really stick out.

It's sloppy, and once I started noticing them I saw them everywhere (the frame I posted isn't anything special, I just grabbed an episode at random an skimmed until I saw an example--4:30 into the episode).

They probably weren't too worried about it since a normal CRT tv has several percent of overscan. However, it gets exposed on modern TVs where you can completely eliminate the overscan and show the full frame.

Granted I was looking for it because I was thinking of how they explain it at the end, and if they bothered showing anything in the episode itself.

Season 3 is pretty god drat awesome though. I like that they bothered to have Luanne's hair grow back over a couple episode too.

Others have already answered, but I've worked in animation and seen this sort of thing first hand. Background painters are really different than the animation guys, as their talents lie more in creating a painting rather than quality of line and motion. As such, at times their backgrounds can really be out of whack as far as shot composition goes. Sometimes we'd get backgrounds where the art ended well before the edge of the frame area. Those weren't so bad, because we could request a retake and get a new image. Small stuff wouldn't warrant a retake because of the cost, so sometimes we ended up trying to extend the art in photoshop, or reframing things. Reframes sometimes looked the worst, in that you got those clipped edges, as well the whole scene makeup looking off because objects and character aren't originally where they were intended to be.

King of the Hill: Crop Out the Dang Corners!

Sorry if this observation has irritated anyone. I noticed it a few months ago and couldn't find anything about it online, and certainly there was some obsessive freak out there who was angry about the vignetting. I used to have a digital camera that was bad about vignetting, though the corners were just dark shadows rather than sharp curved triangles.

In the grand scheme of things, it's not that big a deal. I guess you can make a game out of it, take one, two, three, or four sips of beer when they show up, or just yell "Bwaahhhh!" Either are probably a healthier response than turning in a circle three times and licking the remote control.

Any episode where Hank kicks someone's rear end is a good one but for me this one takes the cake especially due to the absurdity of it all. If anyone is still taking GIF requests can someone capture the kick? It never fails to get a laugh out of me.

On one hand, that was a pretty funny episode.

On the other, it's an episode with Hank being kind of an irrational jackass over something dumb but the "wrong" side is written to such a ridiculous extreme that he's right anyway. They did the same thing in the episode where Hank's trying to keep Bobby away from things that might "corrupt" him and the moral winds up being "hey overparenting your kid might be kind of lame but JUST THINK OF HOW MUCH WORSE IT COULD BE?"

The Laoma episode and Witches of East Arlen both premiered on the same night, back to back. Since the Laoma episode (can't think of the title for the life of me) aired first, it only makes sense that her name would pop up in the very next episode, during a conversation about how much Bill's life sucks.

In fact, here's a mind-blowing thought. Maybe Bill's Tarot card reading was the writers' subtle way of killing off his romance with Laoma, by implying that she and Bill would break up off-screen. :monocle:

Maybe. But I think what makes the laoma episode funnier in the end is that they never do actually resolve it, nor does anyone really talk about it again beyond those episodes. So the implication is that Bill most likely hosed it up just as he always does and since he's a continual fuckup, it doesn't even bear mentioning.
