I think the joke works perfectly both ways too many times for the writers to be doing it by accident. I think it's supposed to be funny/ambiguous.

It's doubly funny that Dale thinks John Redcorn is gay. It's probably the funniest gay joke in anything ever.

Dale brings it up a few times even coming up with an abduction story to cover it. He might know on some level but if he does he doesn't let himself think too much on it. Worst case he suspects Joseph of being an alien not a Redcorn. He's well aware that he was out of town when Joseph was conceived.

He is so pure he cannot fathom things to the point where and alien abduction is infinitely more believable than his friends or family betraying him.

Dale really is great. He thinks of his dad as a womanizing cowboy and hates him, then he thinks he's a government agent and hates him even more, then he finds out that he's just gay and instantly everything is okay and he loves him again. He's also the best kind of gun owner. When he makes booby-traps they're just pellet guns, and even in the episode where he has illusions of grandeur and pretends to be a mercenary he's not conceal carrying a pistol, he throws sand in a guys face. He doesn't ever want to hurt anyone with a gun. The only time I can remember him seriously armed and ready to fight was when he thought someone was breaking into Josephs room in the middle of the night, he loving rolls into the room with 2 guns and 0 fear. Although he did open an illegal gun store/shooting range that sold guns for far too cheap and certainly didn't do background checks, pobodies nerfect. Edit : holy poo poo I'm rewatching the episode where Dale finds out his dad's gay. "Nancy I don't know what to do, nobodies ever deceived me before!"

Dale also clobbers a would be intruder with a plant pot. Fortunately it was just trusty John Redcorn. Is John Redcorn the most 3 dimensional Native American on television?

I was just watching the episode where Bobby goes to the cotillion class and right as he's saying "There's this class I can take that could teach me, well, to be more like you." my wife walks by and says "Oh is this the clown college episode?" Burn.

I love that moment in the bounty hunter episode where Dale shows up to the target's place, looks through his peephole, and moves his head enough so you can clearly see the words 'BOUNTY HUNTER' across his hat. Also, he was wearing a hat that said 'BOUNTY HUNTER' across it. I love this show, and am still in that golden position of not having seen every episode, especially the later seasons. It might make me a bad fan, but I haven't (yet) seen any episode with Lucky in it. Or if I did, it was way back when it originally aired, and I have completely forgotten it. I want to binge KotH somehow (I don't care how), but I also don't want to end up seeing everything. New episodes (to me) are wonderful.

Nothing gets wrapped up in the finale it wasn't even intended as a finale a different episode was. It's still a fitting last story but it really is just another episode

The wedding was the intended finale, the actual finale is the one where Bobbie learns the joins of grilling. Nothing needed to be wrapped up but they didn't do that lame thing a lot of shows do where they kind of break character to say goodbye to the audience. You could watch either of these episodes and have no idea it's not a random middle of the season episode. I think it's perfect.

I thought the show was one of the better send offs for a sitcom. I also like the way they pan back, and the viewer floats away into the sky the same way the viewer comes from the sky and pans down in the first episode.

Which made sense given the amount of steak the Hill's consume throughout the series. Also Bobby didn't turn into Hank, they just discovered a mutual interest they could finally bond over.
