What's brilliant is that if it weren't for people aging, King of the Hill could totally have been a live action show.

Phoenix goon reporting. It's absolutely true.

Edit: I've never been to Texas, but people say that the show is really accurate to Texas. I've never had any reason to not believe that, but the Phoenix clip makes me believe it. Though Hank's mom and stepdad would probably live in Sun City, which is old folks town. Where golf carts are street legal and you will get stuck behind one.

The one thing about Bobby and sports is that he's shown a talent towards marksmanship that never really seemed to be brought up again, was it? Looking at the episode guide, it's from an episode produced and aired well before Columbine, though. I could sort of see post-Columbine the idea of a kids and guns episode being sort of off-limits.

They brought it up again in the Dale hostage crisis episode. Dale said that if they had to shoot him, he'd want Bobby to do it.

Fav Hank quote with him seeing a highlights issue.

It pairs nicely with a Beavis and Butthead quote.

That show might have caused me to laugh the hardest in the 90s. My babysitter let me watch recorded episodes off VHS tapes. The reboot had me laughing just the same. They shouldn't have aired it on MTV.

While King of the Hill isn't a wacky, zany show, there was a ton of good visual gags. I was watching the episode where Dale lost the gun club presidency today. He's freaking about over how he thinks Mr. Big is going to kill him. Dale is going to flee town has Bobby and Joeseph move all his things in Hanks truck. Joeseph struggles valiantly to move the couch by an end all by himself and Bobby instead runs out holding a couple cushions. Very great understated joke.

There isn't anywhere you can really binge through the show, but there are folks livestreaming the show by season on YouTube. That's how I've been getting my fix.

Yeah but good luck finding a watchable episode. Nine times out of 10 it winds up being one of the season 13 episodes for me. Mrs. Wakefield, or the one where Hank's mom gets remarried.

There's a bunch of streams now, and they seem to do different seasons. There's some streams of the early seasons. But I got my fill for now and am binging SpongeBob on Amazon for some reason.

The later seasons were a step back, but Lucky is a drat miracle of a character. Rarely ever does a character get added so late to a show ever work out, but he was so likeable he worked. Even Hank admired the guy.

So much of the show was tied to the era it was made in. With Bill nearly going to Vietnam, Hank not being able to on the count of his narra urethra. Would they age everybody up? I was actually fully expecting would have done that for the Beavis and Butthead revival.

Joe Sixpack! He's a drunk driver who crashed his pickup truck and was sent to Hell. And then he borrowed Satan's pickup truck without asking and trashed it, and he got kicked out of Hell, and now he roams the earth riding buses and doing evil, like he doesn't call you on your birthday or he throws beer bottles at your head!

I thought they'd do that with Beavis and Butthead, but they didn't. They'll keep everyone the same age. Maybe ignore some parts of the later seasons if they got new story ideas. They weren't afraid of totally retconning Peggy's mom.

Speaking of which, her moving to Arlen from Montana doesn't really make any sense if everyone else (minus the Luanne's dad) stayed in Montana.
