King of the Hill

[djdac]

I've been watching the show since it first aired and still enjoy it every week.

King of the Hill is one of my favorite shows! I haven't actually sat down and watched the new episodes when they air for a few years now but I always make sure to catch the reruns on FX whenever they're on.

It's the kind of show that requires you to be at least a little savvy with humor in order to enjoy. That's really great because it keeps the Family Guy fanboys out of the clubhouse.

The series finale is airing tonight.  Your thoughts?

Im sad theyre ending king of the hill. I just read the episodes descriptions, theyre two bobby episodes. Dale is the funniest tho! How can they cancel koth, but still make garbage like glenn martin dds!

I'm surprised it's lasted as long as it has.  It seems like nobody watches it.  Actually, most people I know tend to actively avoid it.

Also, the finale should end with Chuck Mangione playing the flugelhorn.

Ahh Mike Judge.

I like his stuff, such interesting contrasts. Beavis and Butthead was already mentioned, good stuff but I wish the DVD's had more of the music videos, which was pretty much one of the best parts of that show.

King of the Hill was more or less a show loosely based on one of the characters from Beavis and Butthead.

Then there's Office Space, definitely one of my all time favorite movies. I even managed to get the limited edition swingline Red Stapler. It's a pretty sturdy piece of office equipment if I do say so myself.

And of course, Idiocracy. Good, but a bit preachy.

I don't know - King of the Hill looked like it was running on fumes lately.  Just watch the first episode & then compare it to a recent one.

Same goes with Simpsons - I don't really find it that funny anymore.

The first episode of the finale was pretty bad.  Seemed very much like they were out of ideas.

The second episode was a lot better.  It had a good Dale line, a decent Kahn line, and included a scene with Chuck Mangione (yes!).  Luanne had no lines and was relegated to a background character at most (I never noticed her at all, actually, but she may have been in the background somewhere).  Ending was kinda schmaltzy, but fitting.

ah I gotta check those out. I'm sad it's over, I really liked the show. In another note, the simpsons should have ended years ago....I just don't get that show anymore....

The good thing is you can just stop watching a show when you have enough of it.
But people who still want to see new episodes are thankful that the Simpsons still go on.
Everybody wins.

I knew there was a reason my cable doesn't work anymore.

Seriously.  I hate it when people say they wish this show was off the air, or they're glad that it is.  It's not like you have to watch it.

[UglyJoe]

It's just that it's sad to see what was once such a great show turn into something that, while perhaps not total crap, is nowhere near the quality that it used to be.

Also, while it's financially risky, if the same creators and writers started a new show, they wouldn't be stuck having to use the same tired characters in the same tired locations.  They could start fresh.

[nintendodork]

Well, as long as Mike Judge is behind the wheel, if they ever do decide to make a new series, it should be good, if not great.  Seeing as his first two did so well.

[Nightstar699]

I thought the finale was just awful. No different then the rest of the show. I agree with Uglyjoe, i think its better to quit when your ahead rather than crash and burn. So many shows ended like that!
