Would you guys rather the new series be set in eternal early 90s or would you rather see it set in modern times?

Even the original run made 2000's references. :shrug:

I'd be cool if the whole show just stayed in the time period before 2016.

KoTH spent more time in the 2000s than in the 90s. It captured the zeitgeist of the decade far better than The Simpsons.

You would maybe need to update things like the tv setup and characters having modern cell phones, but that’s it.

Though it’s kind of funny that a late season episode was Peggy and Luanne getting an HDTV and being overwhelmed by the resolution

Hillenium, the episode devoted to y2k, was is the middle of season 4. Great episode except I would think Hank even when insane would have remembered not to varnish indoors.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
It's gonna be prestige koth with a mysterious premise. Maybe it's the far future... Or the distant past!

They'll be reimagined as traveling magical carnies! Or the sole survivors of a plane crash in a remote Texas island! Or Arlen now has a time traveling cave! Or Stickland Propane decides to hire severed workers!

I mainly just want the show to avoid the overdone culture war topics of the past few years. Unless they have a truly great and new take, we don't need episodes on trigger warnings or safe spaces or whatever other issue that was already beaten into the ground years ago.

Cotton comes back as a ghost that only Dale can see or hear.

Hank doesn’t believe him, bill is jealous he doesn’t get a ghost friend, and boomhaur says that cotton is definitely in hell except they all react like he said something nice about him.

What did you say the strategy was?
Dale would assume a ghost of cotton was a conspiracy hologram/broadcast directed at him.

The show tends to stay sort of grounded though so it would be a weird direction for an episode

Despite being a lovely "let's make fun of commies, hippies, and the ACLU" plot, the Phish gathering episode has some great lines.

hooooo boy if you dont think hippies are exactly like that then you have not met any real hippies. the shot that has the suv with the "save the earth" bumper stickers tearing up the turf and the hippies destroying a bird's nest without noticing as they play frisbee is one of the truest-to-life scenes in this show

The new show should go back in time and show all the character's grandparents so it'd be set in the mid 1920's/30's

I'm thinking Cotton's dad looks and talks exactly like Hank and teenager Cotton looks and talks like Bobby

So do you think Hank actually likes The Great Gatsby or he just liked the patio furniture and tolerated the references to the novel?

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

I always thought that Hank just looked and acted more like his mother rather than Cotton, which also explains Cotton’s dislike of him because he’s a constant reminder of her.

The only complication to that theory was that Junichiro also looks like Hank.

I imagine Hank would hate the book but respects its place in the American canon. It'd also fit his expectations of New York. I think he loves his patio and is a sucker for fine craftsmanship.
