This is all what made the show good. We aren't arguing about what the show did (sort of) but what the right choice for the characters was.

"I dont think having Lucky around being a husband and a Father is going to hurt Luannes chances of becoming and Astronaut or a brain surgeon, we just have to make the best of a bad situation and help those two get married"

Your talking about potential like she was going to be some Doctor or scientist or own her own car mechanic workshop.

Great advice. Get married to the unemployed guy twice your age because he knocked you up instead of becoming a functional adult.

If finding happiness isnt apart of it i dont want to be a functional adult.

it all just seems like "But what will the NEIGHBORS think!? Her With LUCKY?!" just so shallow and just as childish. Leave them alone.

Big fan of his quest for The Stump

They would regularly have a celebrity voice a new character (Reverend Stroop, Roger Stack, ...Thatheron), but they'd swap in one of their regular VAs after the character's introduction. They somehow got Tom Petty to stay. I can't blame them for trying to squeeze in as many Lucky episodes as they could.

And wasn't it even a decent amount of time between his first and second appearance? His first one is when Khan is trying to be "white trash" because I guess it would be better for Connie's chances at getting in to a good school/get a scholarship, right? Then he meets Lucky and the gang and they go "stickin'", which is some sort of 2x4-based street fighting tournement.

Look, we should be grateful Luanne and Lucky's marriage is probably better than her parents'. At least Lucky isn't a full-on career criminal that Luanne is gonna stab with a fork in an act of drunken domestic violence.

I have a message from Jesus, something about how you suck at beauty school, except worded nicer. Here it is:

To be fair he strikes me as the kinda guy with low enough standards for his lifestyle that he can stretch that a good way.

True. I think it helps they're both idiots, they're on the same wavelength and don't get frustrated with each other.

Actually kinda some themes about relationships and how they work vs don't work in a lot of Mike Judge and adjacent stuff. Hank and Peggy almost seem like an odd couple at times, but they have a lot in common when you look at their behaviour, and challenge each other in constructive ways.

There's a period where Lucky and Luanne are just mooching in Hank's Den with no real plan for anything, until Luanne gets back into haircutting.

Which is almost a little out of character for Hank to just be okay with that, since it's before she's pregnant I think

Fair point, but his refusal to do honest work is going to become a massive issue sooner than later.

Not to mention the idea that you are required to marry someone who gets you pregnant is outdated and terrible advice.

Luanne is bright enough to make it as a single mom, but Lucky's lazy attitude and lovely habits will make that burden so much heavier.

Lucky is the kinda guy who will quit or get fired from every job he manages to find after a few weeks and it will always be someone else's fault. And every time it happens it'll take months to land another job. The guy is a leech.

Luanne isn't Peggy's daughter. Luanne is the daughter of a drunken domestic abuser who married a career criminal she stabbed with a fork and tipped their trailer over. She's a community college dropout part-time hairdresser who puts on Christian puppet shows.

She married up. Not MUCH up, but a tiny bit up. Lucky's a loser, but she could have done way way worse.

That said, in hindsight she probably should have just gotten married to that Rhett Vandergraff guy from the born-again virgin episode. Dude thought with his dick, but he seemed stable enough

Did they ever go in to more depth on that? Did he slip on piss in the bathroom? Or in the cafeteria, or production line?
It seems like America would be the kind of place where lots of factory workers aren't allowed bathroom breaks so the line workers just piss wherever.

They also gave me some of the chips with too much flavor on em that they had to pull, and the chips *were* pretty magical.
