Hank inviting Bobby to get his haircut with him, and then Peggy pouring out his chocolate milk because he's too old for mom's haircuts now, and therefore also too old for chocolate milk

I thought we agreed never to discuss the horrors we saw on the killing grounds of the Fun Center.

quote:

I feel like I've lived both sides of this episode. Both as a teenager way into youth group and now as a middle aged dad. God forbid hank let's Bobby choose his own path to the lord. No, it's gotta be hanks way or the highway because hank is too insecure to let his son make a mistake here and there as he grows up.

The last supper suicide cult b-plot was way more interesting and the boys being really superstitious about death was really enlightening.

I thought the B plot was *really* weak by koth b-plot standards. It doesn't really go anywhere.

I have a hard time articulating exactly what it is about later seasons that feels so "off" to me. It's not like the earlier seasons weren't bouncing from weird gimmick to weird gimmick.

Bobby gets weirdly into rose gardening? Sure. Bobby falls in with some witch LARPers? All day. Renaissance fair episode where Peggy is a knight and beats up Alan Rickman? Best episode.

Is it a focus on different characters? Did the writing get lazier? Are the plots worse? I can't actually remember the later seasons well enough to recall them even when looking at an episode guide.

My favorite running gag is when the gang gets into trouble with the authorities, Boomhauer usually tells the whole truth, but no outsider can understand him.

It really doesn't get better than the fireman episode where he outright says "Hell no, we're not disrespecting the memory of Chet Elderson, Gribble plugged that drat sign in" but the fire chief only heard "Chet Elderson ... Plugged that sign in" and leaves it at that

Stephen Root does a lot of VA and character actor gigs but everytime he uses his regular voice I just picture Bill. Justified? BIll the Judge.

Root plays an extremely Bill-esque character on Brooklyn 99 if Bill came from bizarro hill folk instead of sprouting from the beautiful Texas soil fully grown and ready to peak and it's always extremely fun to see him guest star

The present football stuff has always been inconsistent just because it’s 2 in universe years over 10+ seasons.

Sometimes they have a team that has a high chance of making it to state, other times they get their butts kicked by McMaynerberry

the utter contempt on Peggy's face, knowing what he's going to say before she even says it but forced to ask, is what makes the entire episode for me

Yeah, that's what I remember reading here over the years; even the lower quality seasons are still better than a lot of other shows.

Anyway...

Ok, so are Bill and Laoma just... not a thing anymore?

Two episodes after Bill meets Laoma, he mentions to Bobby that things have been going great for the two of them while Bobby is doing a tarot reading. Bobby initially says that the cards indicate love, happiness and success, before realizing some of them are inverted, representing despair, failure and loss.

Bobby laid a drat curse on Bill

I love the side stories with like Bobby and Peggy that are just so simple and pointless. Like Peggy trying to guess the weight of her dessert, or Bobby teaching her to ride a bike and eventually telling her to give up. They always crack me up.

The one where Bill joins a choir is the most distilled version of this and it rules. The A plot consumes so much of the episode that Peggy and Bobby playing Pong is so meaningless that they pass out waiting for their plot to develop, and the entire B plot takes up maybe three minutes across the whole thing.

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.

It was a Costco where a dad was changing a kid's diaper in the family bathroom.
