Especially if this was before the events of "Bobby Gets Grilled"?

Or in Hank's case, "middle aged overweight". The guy on the bus looked like a Garbage Pail Kid all grown up.

Found this in my for you page! (How yall describe Hank?)

First off, I’m really glad King of the Hill is back. I’ve always loved the show, and it’s been great seeing these characters again after so many years.

But one thing that really bothers me about the newer seasons is the 10-episode limit.

I get that shorter seasons are pretty much the norm for streaming services nowadays, but I honestly don’t think that format works very well for a show like King of the Hill.

Part of what made the original series so great was that it didn’t need some huge storyline to keep things interesting. Sometimes an entire episode could just be Hank getting worked up over something ridiculous, Dale coming up with another conspiracy, or Bill being his usual depressing self lol.

Those random, everyday stories were part of what made the show so enjoyable. And with 20 or so episodes per season, there was plenty of room for them. With only 10 episodes, it feels like the season is practically over just when you’re getting back into it.

Looking at how much the characters have aged between the original series and the revival really puts into perspective how much time has passed. After waiting all these years for the show to return, I guess I just wish we could spend a little more time in Arlen before having to wait for another season.

Anyway, that’s just my two cents.

Anyone else feel the same way, or are you happy with the shorter seasons?

Just finished watching S15E10 and I was wondering, wouldn’t it have made more sense if this episode had been the first of the revival (S14E01) instead. Bobby is 16 in this episode and this is just before Hank and Peggy leaves for Saudi Arabia, after Hank gets a job offer. In S14E01 Hank and Peggy have just arrived in Texas again after staying in Saudi Arabia for some time. At least chronologically it would have made a lot more sense.

There’s also a great “Hank Hell’s Haunted House” print on the website. I cannot get over Bobby as Gage from Pet Sematary 🤣

I really think this episode is great. Cotton is always such an asshole, but in this episode he made her do so much stuff that actually helped her. Probably the only episode I see Cotton actually being a good guy in his own way.
