I would place the KotH writing on the same level as any situation comedy. They tried very hard.

When the pandemic kicked off last year and I didn't know how to handle it, I was basically a complete zombie for months until this scene made me laugh so hard I almost threw up and it kind of snapped me out of it, so thanks KOTH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BawbaG7pUzc

Outside of a few episodes Kahn’s job isn’t focused on a lot at all, but all the programs he puts Connie into probably isn’t cheap either. There’s an episode where they show how Bobby drains the entertainment budget for the Hills, but both Dale and Peggy probably waste more money than they bring in too.

If it weren't for the fact that actors age and animated ones don't, King of the Hill could have easily been a live action sitcom.

Sweaty IT Nerd posted:I like that the they aren't too married to continuity. If you pick at what has been shown about Peggy's mom the whole thing would fall apart. Maybe I haven't watched enough episodes, but I always kinda wondered how Peggy was from Montana, but didn't she and hank meet in highschool or some poo poo? Kinda like how Al and Peggy (!) Bundy went to highschool together in Chicago, but Peggy was from Wisconsin. Also, Kahn lived in that lovely hillbilly neighborhood so that he could afford to buy a sweet sweet El Camino. Like better than any of the other hillbillies could afford.

I assumed she got fed up with her mom and moved in with her older brother Hoyt in Arlen... or Uncle Boppo.

Peggy grew up in Montana but lived in Texas for her high school years. At some point her parents moved back (I don't think it's ever explained why?) to Montana, leaving her and her twin brother (Luanne's dad). edit: it's implied Peggy left for Texas without her parents, though never explained why. She probably went with Hoyt.

Peggy's backstory is never fully explained and as such doesn't make a lick of sense. In "I Remember Mono" (s2ep14) we see Hank and Peggy start dating in high school while Peggy's mother is shown living in Arlen. In "Happy Hanks Giving" (s4ep7) we see that the Platter's still live in Montana as the Hill family is going there to visit. Then in "A Rover Runs Through It" (s9ep1) we learn that Peggy ran away from home to avoid marrying Sven Grammarsdorff from across the way. Also none of these episodes address when Hoyt moved to Arlen and met Leanne. We know Hoyt was out of the picture before Peggy and Hank started dating because Hank never met Hoyt before "Life: A Loser's Manual" (s12ep22)

Like they established early Bill was an offensive linesman blocking for Hank as he set a rushing record that still stands, and later decided that Bill was also running the ball enough to set a touchdown record. I guess that could have happened if Arlen never passed and Hank constantly was tackled at the one yard line, then they gave it to Bill?

Goal line packages are a thing and teams will sub in giant defensive tackles at fullback, so a HS taking their best guard and putting him there isn't that wild. Arlen going by their coach and more or less everything seen would definitely run the ball 90% of the time if possible, and Hank is slow as hell, so they're definitely rumbling forward for 4 yards over and over and over and over again, getting to the goal line, swapping the Bill-Dozer with the fullback and just shoving everyone forward a yard as Bill falls into the endzone. High school ball especially is going to overuse their best players because the difference between them and the average player is gigantic compared to college.

High school Hank was fine with showboating and dancing like an Egyptian in the championship so God broke his leg but didn’t kill him as He still wanted him to sell propane.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Gonna disagree, I thought it was fun and they bother to provide a character consistent reason for Kahn to hang out with Bill and Dale. In later seasons he's just present by default. I also liked Dale musing about the quandary of whether to escape while the guards search for the rarest truffle or to eat it. What was the b-plot of that episode? I can’t remember Kahn hanging out with the boys.

The boys start reading about the last meals of death row inmates then lament about how unfair it is that you have to kill someone to get to eat the best meal of your life, and while shopping for their favorite foods Khan overhears them and joins in.

My Jr. High football team had a package where we swapped out our RB for our biggest linemen. Dude ran slow but would be carrying like 6 kids for like 7 yards before they finally brought him down. Great for goal line, just like the Billdozer. ... poo poo, I just looked it up, the Billdozer episode aired the same year we ran that I played football, and we didn't deploy that package till midway through the season. What if my coach was inspired by KotH?
