Shit like that is lost on modern writers
He was never trans, just cosmopolitan. Him enjoying fashion or dancing is just so removed from 90s suburban Texas that it FEELS like he'll go a completely outrageous route.
If anything there ought to be an episode where people suspect Bobby is transitioning, hank goes through a whole bargaining process over it and after the b plot resolves he tells Bobby he doesn't care what Bobby is, he loves him anyway even if he doesnt understand. Bobby is confused but grateful. Later he is seen giving women's clothing or hrt or whatever caused the suspicion to a trans employee. Bobby explains to a confused hank that he doesn't really get it either, but they're a great employee. Hank smiles yups, we fade to credits with a repeated audio clip of Peggy saying something insane like "xir hormones are running mucho loco hank!"
What do you mean who needs it? It had 260 episodes and it's generally regarded as one of the if not the animated sitcom that aged the best with little to no flanderization
>Firstly, no, It didn't age well >Everybody always says it aged well... Well it didn't, it was alright, alright? >It aged alright >But secondly, yeah, we had it already! So let's move on, make something else? Why are we- why are we clingering to the past? It was good when we had it, but it's not needed now, it's not gonna be good now cause it's not gonna be made as good. Leave it!
No, frick you, it aged great because it's a more grounded comedy than the other sitcoms
The comedy comes from the characters reacting to the world as opposed to them creating the circumstances, if anything I trust a king of the hill reboot more than I trust a new show
Look, I'm not dissing it, alright? I liked it, I thought it aged fine. It wasn't bad or anything, but- but do we need a reboot, is what I'm asking?
Cause you know what its' gonna be like, it's gonna be moralizing and it's gonna be political, and that may have been fine back when this was airing, but it's not the same world anymore, we don't need stuff like this anymore, it's a different climate
Karl but just a moment ago you said it didn't age fine, that it was just alright, and now you're saying the opposite. Which isnit, Karl?

Fine does not mean the same thing, you knob-head. Fine means "of high quality", alright means "satisfactory, but not especially good". You saying that it aged fine means you're saying that it aged like a high-quality wine. So which is it? Do you agree with me or not?

Look who's talking, Ricky, like you're such a fancy talker-
...
Hold on, did you bring a plate of pasta to the recording room?
Whatever, point is, it aged okay. It was decent. But I don't think we need more of it, we just don't.
I wanna see something new.
that term really should be homerization, since homer actually suffered the worse degradation. flanders was always sort of how he wound up. you just saw less of him.
And you want to sully that?
The times have changed. The team working on this reboot is not the team who made the series you fell in love with. This is being made not because they have a story to tell but because reboots are safe cash-ins. You are very likely to take back your words, and try to ignore the new series in the wake of this reboot when it comes out.
We all want to recapture those sparks. But the truth is, that spark is likelier to exist in the form of new artists making new things that you want to see. As for recapturing the original King of the Hill, making it new again...Sorry, you can't. You just had to be there.
It would have been fine and could have survived Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty being dead. But Johnny Hardwick's death should have told them not to do it. You can't fricking do the show without Dale.
I was hoping Hank and Peggy would be stuck raising Gracie. And possibly GH. And how fricking adorable would those two be together? plus then Pamela can use her season 1 Bobby voice
Dale funeral episode to bring everyone back to the neighborhood.
Bobby has a new girlfriend who is a new character
Hank and Peggy raise Gracie get GH dumped on them ala Luanne
Joseph is the character they do the typical gay shit with
John Redcorn is disappointed Dale isn't around to comment
Some tribute about how Johnny Hardwick was so loving and inclusive (he was big into LGBT rights and hated Trump hard)
Susanosaphone family moves back to Laos but return later in the show leads to drama with new character Bobby's girlfriend Bobby chooses the new girl. Minh and Khan also have had a second kid since then who is Grace's age. He's basically Laosian Bobby.
Hank is disappointed that Bobby cooks with other fuels besides propane but appreciated his steaks/burgers.
There's an episode where Bobby and Hank brew beer together.
Ladybird is dead there's an episode where Bobby gets a new dog and Hank can't accept it but eventually grows to love the dog. Twist of the episode is that Bobby's girlfriend gets pregnant not long after getting the dog which makes Hank see ladybird in the dog.
Maybe she's just aware of the character's status in the reboot. "He's 21 and a chef now" sounds like someone being given the bare basics, followed by, "so we got someone else to do the role."
>Bobby aged 9 years from 1997-2024
Damn
Then again, that's miles better than the Simpsons kids. Maggie's been a baby longer than zoomers have been alive.
you want to keep the poor guy single forever? he loves the ladies. give him a bite of the apple.
sure it's beyond unrealistic that he would, especially today, but I don't watch tv for real- oh wait, it's king of the hill. I do. well frick it.
i don't want KotH in modern day. i don't want racial recasting, 'acceptable' humor, or references to current-day issues. i want to pretend it's the 90s still.
it's funny, I remember hearing that the reason they stopped letting people get older on KotH is they didn't want to replace Pammy
like they didn't know she could do a REAL low voice, like Moose from Pepper Ann?
anyway this show will be garbage but at least we know bobby won't sound like a girl
also he was -thirteen- not 12, jeez.
>it's funny, I remember hearing that the reason they stopped letting people get older on KotH is they didn't want to replace Pammy
You heard wrong. Fox just wanted less continuity so episodes could be aired in any order in syndication.
okay but the point remains, the many, many people who spread that rumor did not know about Pam's range
It would have been fine and could have survived Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty being dead. But Johnny Hardwick's death should have told them not to do it. You can't fricking do the show without Dale.
yeahhh this. You can't recast Dale but even moreso, Hardwick was the fricking head writer of the show.
I say cobble together what you have into a tv-movie reunion special a la the brady bunch, i dream of jeannie, and gilligan's island, throw in whatever Hardwick audio you managed to get, and fricking end it.
and for god's sake get Toby back in as Kahn. He did that character a service, and it's not okay to obey liberals.
this is the only correct answer, at least a movie/special is only getting betrayed one instead of several times over
So how are Luanne, Lucky, and Dale gonna get killed off?
It'll soon be canon, anons

i can't think of any episode with Connie post season 7 besides the one where her parents become rednecks and the one where she's following Peggy around as a realtor all day
They'll turn Redcorn gay
hank hill is actually a repressed homosexual

ricky and stephen are perfect midwits to karl's genius

Season 2 is already in the works & Johnny has confirmed voiced "a handful of episodes" so we'll see how they continue on without him at least for a season.
I agree though, massive part of the show will be missing without Johnny.
So how are Luanne, Lucky, and Dale gonna get killed off?

Why not first see if they can find a sound alike actor and prescribe any the voice change to something like voice cancer instead of just killing him off?
Apart from the dead actors, Greg Daniels already confirmed that Kahn wasn't in the early episodes they did and that if they brought him back they would probably have to recast him.
Also the original press release for the reboot didn't mention Breckin Meyer as Joseph (he replaced Brittany Murphy when Joseph went through puberty), which means he's likely also a victim of Disney's post-2020 policy of recasting any nonwhite characters voiced by white actors.
Throw in Cotton only being able to appear in flashbacks and this is a situation where a huge amount of the original cast can't come back, which doesn't bode well, though I guess that might have been partly behind the decision to do a time skip and make it a different type of show, like the new "Frasier."
I think they should throw a bone to Luanne fans and say she became a mechanic. Just pay off that running gag from the first season where she was a genius mechanic but it never occurred to anyone she could make a career of it.
Of course not, the rule only goes one way and is almost completely arbitrary (what counts as white? why isn't Joseph white because of his mom?).
Everyone knows it's a stupid rule though only Harry Shearer so far has actually said anything against it (and he has the advantage of not caring about The Simpsons since 1992). But it's a rule and they're stuck with it.
Also I'll forgive them a lot if they have Bobby and Connie back together in the time skip. (Connie is voiced by Lauren Tom so she and her mother will be allowed to appear.)

figures mike judge wouldn't go to task for us.
it is unacceptable to tell a white man he can't voice an asian man. people's lives need to be ruined for suggesting that. i don't watch any shows that fire actors based on their race and neither should you.
>which means he's likely also a victim of Disney's post-2020 policy of recasting any nonwhite characters voiced by white actors.
But Joseph is white, Dale and Nancy both are,
You forgot that Dale has a Jamaican grandmother. Disney's rule is that even though Joseph is the biological son of Dale and Nancy, having a Jamaican grandmother means he needs to be recast, just like he would have to be recast if his father were, say, John Redcorn (which isn't possible because John Redcorn is gay).

These are the posts that still give me hope in Cinemaphile
Joesph is half white though. Seems to be more racist to decide which race is more relevant for him, unless they found a half native american half white voice actor, which I doubt
Lucky is a lazy redneck (nicknamed because he injured himself slipping on pee-pee at Costco and is living off the settlement money) voiced by Tom Petty who was one of a bunch of new friends Kahn got in a season 8 episode where he and Minh decide to become rednecks.
It turned out Tom Petty was willing to come back semi-regularly and the writers all loved him, so starting in season 9 and for the rest of the series Lucky became Luanne's love interest, which is controversial among fans of Luanne.
luanne and lucky dying offscreen in comical fashion is perfect for them and I think the actors would appreciate it being made into a dark joke
but you can't do it without dale, so they need to stop.
Luanne is probably not dead, they moved away with Lucky. As for Dale, I don't know what their plan is. He's such an important part of the show. They might just recast him
Dale has an electrolarynx now. Later in the season its revealed he can still talk and was just using the electrolarynx to prevent people from listening in on his conversations, but his vocal chords have atrophied from lack of use so he sounds different.
>Luanne >Lucky
Buckley's angel hits them with a light arrow while they're driving on the freeway and get vaporized. >Dale
John Redcorn chokes Dale to death.
They can write off Lucky and Luanne by having them running the Platter ranch off screen. Which is a nicer ending than just killing them off. How they approach Dale will be interesting.
>hank reminisces about the time lucky and dale came up with a plan to create a new type of currency for the post-apocalypse >it turns out they discovered an entirely new element of metal in the process of minting their new coin, except the metal was radioactive, causing lucky and dale to play hot potato with the coin trying to get it away from themselves >luanne grabs the coin thinking it was an argument over who gets the coin, flips the coin to see who gets it >they all died of turbo-cancer a few years later, leaving the hills to foster little gracie
Luanne and Lucky will probably be written off in a "Nice" way in that they moved on and did something with their lifes.
Dale. I know people would want the whole "Throat cancer got him and he speaks with a voice box". But Judge wanted to do an episode about how Hank deals with real grief with Ladybird since with his own father Cotton, Hank wasn't too close while he absolutely loved that dog. When Cotton died Hank was sad in a more "It's sad that he's gone but we were distant". An episode where Dale suddenly dies and Hank has to process his grief over his closest friend being gone. That's probably something Judge would want to do.
And it will hit like a fricking truck knowing Mike Judge
Honestly I'd be fine with it if they got an impersonator to do Dale's voice, but whether Judge wants to go that route or not, I guess we'll find out in time. I think he could definitely pull off a heartfelt Dale passing episode, and it would maybe lead to a new character joining the regular cast. We're probably getting a bunch of new characters anyway, with Bobby living away from home and all.
If they really need to replace Dale’s character and want to keep his conspiracy theorist schtick intact, they should just have adult Joseph step in for him.
I wonder if Nancy would tell Joseph the truth about his biological heritage in light of Dale being dead. Or for that matter, if anyone else would. I can see Peggy letting the matter slip to early 20 year old Bobby, and Bobby feeling obligated to tell 20 year old Joseph.
Eh, alright, I'll go into this with my expectations tempered, but I'll trust you nontheless
Maybe I can learn from your optimism, or maybe you can learn from my passimism
We will both see when it happens
Is this the first official confirmation we've had that the revival is going to include a timeskip? I feel like that hasn't come up in any announcement before.
>a native american womanizer known for regularly sleeping with a man's wife whose shown visible disgust at the idea of massaging a 40 something year old man turned gay
kek. The only established character in this show who even has any possibility of being made gay is Connie since she's not with Bobbie anymore. Maybe G.H or Gracie if they want someone who's a blank slate. The might make Bill a trans lesbian too
Is this revival actually a thing? or some mass gaslighting campaign? All I ever see for it are screencaps from twitter and clickbait websites all citing other tweets and clickbait articles. I have yet to see anyone in any official capacity say anything on it for what feels like 10 years and I'm somewhat convinced this is a game of telephone where everyone is too embarrassed to admit they got bamboozled by internet clickbait to let it die.
>I have yet to see anyone in any official capacity say anything on it for what feels like 10 years and I'm somewhat convinced this is a game of telephone where everyone is too embarrassed to admit they got bamboozled by internet clickbait to let it die.
Unfortunately the best we got is quotes from Mike Judge; I can't be certain of the veracity that they actually came from him, but I can certainly provide something:
Here's Parade's article on it.
https://parade.com/tv/king-of-the-hill-revival-on-hulu
And IMDB's page:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26585105/
If you're wondering why John Hardwick is listed under the credits, it's because he worked on a couple episodes before passing away.
Not sure if that's sufficient for you, but it's provided as is.
Ladybird dying was originally the planned finale. She's definitely going go already be dead at the time of the reboot. Bloodhounds live 10-12 years on average and she was already 13 at the end of the original run.
Nah, he's there to be an unapologetic fat c**t shitstirrer as well as the laugh track, without it the show would just be a manc and a timid scouser having a funny but not all that interesting discussion
I was really hoping they'd time-skip the show if they were gonna do a revival, nice to hear that's the plan. I'm sure Dale's still gonna be in since his conspiracy paranoia has no shortage of jokes nowadays, but his VA dying mid-production is definitely a big blow.
I figure they're gonna address Lucky and Luanne's VA's dying outright with Hank and Peggy having adopted Gracie years ago, and have a memorial episode or something for the both of them(and Dale's VA.).
This beats the theories he would be a disgusting Incel or something as a way to bash internet people. I dig Bobby who has always had a good relationship with food beyond just eating such as his meat grading or grilling, has got a business of his own based in food. The only concern is it's in Dallas. But here's hoping Bobby at least had the Dallas Sallad.
>This beats the theories he would be a disgusting Incel or something as a way to bash internet people.
There would be ridiculous pushback if that somehow got suggested; Bobby was one of the nicest characters on the show.
>So we know they're bringing back king of the hill, yeah? >But some of the voice actors are dead >So the studios were like. What are we going to do? We need voice actors for the- to do the voices and what not >So then a producer goes to the zoo one day and there was this little monkey
Why are you all so obsessed with what could ruin the show instead of looking forward to it? This constant negativity surely effects your minds. Cynicism never solved anything and only contributes to problems rather than alleviate them
My homie, have you seen the fate of even one other reboot/continuation attempt in the last eight years? And you fault people for having expectations?
Why dwell on it though? Unless you're actively participating in the changes you want to see, complaining about them here does absolutely nothing productive other than garner more of your own vitriol
>Brittany Murphy is dead >Johnny Hardwick is dead >Toby Huss isnt allowed to be Khan, and Cotton is dead. >Tom Petty is dead
This shit is cursed, why the frick is it stilll going to go on
Problem is, who is Bobby now?
We don't SEE him move from goofy butterball to an adult with a real job. Not some basic ass burnt out working at a burger place.
how many fricking times are we going to hear about a KotH reboot before the idea gets smothered to death for good? it's like for the past decade i've been hearing about "talks of a KotH revival!" and every time it's been nothing but either pure shit or worrying at best. >chef at a fusion restaurant in dallas
sounds to me like "character arc about being a failed or failing comedian" galore!
I'm surprised he didn't troon out.
>1 post in
His GF will be trans and Hank will have to learn the moral lesson that trannies are heckin valid and wholesome too
So it will become the Goode family
Obsessed
Don't worry his daughter probably will.
Why? He’s never shown to be gay
Part of the whole joke of Bobby is that despite his flamboyant personality and odd tendencies that he's 100% unquestionably straight.
Yeah, pic rel was also straight and married to a man despite seeming like a huge dyke
And they make her a lesbian in the reboot
Shit like that is lost on modern writers
>Shit like that is lost on modern writers
Like subtlety, nuance, and restraint?
No that will be Khan Jr.
How many consecutive days are you able to go without thinking about trans people?
/pol/chuds can't stop talking about trannies keeeek
Would Hank kill himself?
Amerimutt moment
He was never trans, just cosmopolitan. Him enjoying fashion or dancing is just so removed from 90s suburban Texas that it FEELS like he'll go a completely outrageous route.

it is unacceptable to tell a white man he can't voice an asian man. people's lives need to be ruined for suggesting that. i don't watch any shows that fire actors based on their race and neither should you.
>which means he's likely also a victim of Disney's post-2020 policy of recasting any nonwhite characters voiced by white actors.
But Joseph is white, Dale and Nancy both are,
You forgot that Dale has a Jamaican grandmother. Disney's rule is that even though Joseph is the biological son of Dale and Nancy, having a Jamaican grandmother means he needs to be recast, just like he would have to be recast if his father were, say, John Redcorn (which isn't possible because John Redcorn is gay).
These are the posts that still give me hope in Cinemaphile
Joesph is half white though. Seems to be more racist to decide which race is more relevant for him, unless they found a half native american half white voice actor, which I doubt
>Joseph
But he’s white
>killing off Dale
just say he permanently went off the grid or something
With it being so many years in the future, they could easily explain away Luanne and Lucky having died in that skip.
Thank goodness Lucky is gone, he was the worst thing about the later seasons. Dale will be missed though, it's just not the same without Dale.
*best thing about the later seasons
the only thing that was good was dale's son being aged up.
I haven't watched the later seasons (only up to 6), who is Lucky?
Lucky is a lazy redneck (nicknamed because he injured himself slipping on pee-pee at Costco and is living off the settlement money) voiced by Tom Petty who was one of a bunch of new friends Kahn got in a season 8 episode where he and Minh decide to become rednecks.
It turned out Tom Petty was willing to come back semi-regularly and the writers all loved him, so starting in season 9 and for the rest of the series Lucky became Luanne's love interest, which is controversial among fans of Luanne.
Luanne is probably not dead, they moved away with Lucky. As for Dale, I don't know what their plan is. He's such an important part of the show. They might just recast him
Dale has an electrolarynx now. Later in the season its revealed he can still talk and was just using the electrolarynx to prevent people from listening in on his conversations, but his vocal chords have atrophied from lack of use so he sounds different.
They'll probably just use AI generated voices if they can't find someone whose voice sounds similar
>Luanne
>Lucky
Buckley's angel hits them with a light arrow while they're driving on the freeway and get vaporized.
>Dale
John Redcorn chokes Dale to death.
They sped off to the west coast, Dale is in hiding in some unabomber cabin, easy
Dale changed his voice so the government can't replicate it using their Artificial Intelligence programs
They can write off Lucky and Luanne by having them running the Platter ranch off screen. Which is a nicer ending than just killing them off. How they approach Dale will be interesting.
Luanne and Lucky can easily be written off as them moving.
Dale is going to be a mystery.
I figured Dale would stay, but he'd be speaking though a throat cancer box.
They'll just do a Dale lung cancer episode and give him a voice machine
>hank reminisces about the time lucky and dale came up with a plan to create a new type of currency for the post-apocalypse
>it turns out they discovered an entirely new element of metal in the process of minting their new coin, except the metal was radioactive, causing lucky and dale to play hot potato with the coin trying to get it away from themselves
>luanne grabs the coin thinking it was an argument over who gets the coin, flips the coin to see who gets it
>they all died of turbo-cancer a few years later, leaving the hills to foster little gracie
Luanne and Lucky will probably be written off in a "Nice" way in that they moved on and did something with their lifes.
Dale. I know people would want the whole "Throat cancer got him and he speaks with a voice box". But Judge wanted to do an episode about how Hank deals with real grief with Ladybird since with his own father Cotton, Hank wasn't too close while he absolutely loved that dog. When Cotton died Hank was sad in a more "It's sad that he's gone but we were distant". An episode where Dale suddenly dies and Hank has to process his grief over his closest friend being gone. That's probably something Judge would want to do.
And it will hit like a fricking truck knowing Mike Judge
Honestly I'd be fine with it if they got an impersonator to do Dale's voice, but whether Judge wants to go that route or not, I guess we'll find out in time. I think he could definitely pull off a heartfelt Dale passing episode, and it would maybe lead to a new character joining the regular cast. We're probably getting a bunch of new characters anyway, with Bobby living away from home and all.
If they really need to replace Dale’s character and want to keep his conspiracy theorist schtick intact, they should just have adult Joseph step in for him.
I wonder if Nancy would tell Joseph the truth about his biological heritage in light of Dale being dead. Or for that matter, if anyone else would. I can see Peggy letting the matter slip to early 20 year old Bobby, and Bobby feeling obligated to tell 20 year old Joseph.
I really wouldn't be surprised if Gracie becomes the new Bobby-aged main character
>Good Hank is now 12 and looks and sounds exactly like Bobby
I hope be comes back to fill that role, it was weird how they just wrote him out after cotton died
I always figured Didi would lose custody of GH and Hank would step in as his legal guardian.
>hank has to wrestle didi's pro wrestler soon-to-be-ex husband for custody of GH
Good Hank will become a mini Cotton
Just give Dale an electronic voice box because his years of chain smoking has caught up with him.
this, it's a good solution though it'll still be sad to not have Hardwick
Even if you account for the voice like that, the performance might not bexquite the same.
Bobby is the type of guy that easily can pull average girls constantly but will frick the relationship up spectacularly
>they're going to use Dale to portray and mock all the scaaaary evil 'conspiracy theories' that are true but they want us to believe are false
I don't think so. Mike Judge is no fool, if the B&B revival is anything to go by.
Anon, please, it's to be expected, nearly the entirety of the normie population fell for the "conspiracy theorists reeeeee!" psyop
I know, it's Cinemaphile and we gotta be pessimistic but Mike Judge to me is the only American creator in current year worth trusting.
Eh, alright, I'll go into this with my expectations tempered, but I'll trust you nontheless
Maybe I can learn from your optimism, or maybe you can learn from my passimism
We will both see when it happens
That's honestly the best choice. Tempered expectation.
>21
So that means the show takes place in 2007? Bobby was born in 1985
Is this the first official confirmation we've had that the revival is going to include a timeskip? I feel like that hasn't come up in any announcement before.
Stephen Root mentioned it in an interview last year.
Turn? He was always gay. But Dale was friends with him just the same.
>Having a relationship
Gay?
lol no, Bobby is clearly into women. Maybe they'll bring Dale's dad and that one drag queen back on the show to appease the LGBT
They'll turn Redcorn gay
>a native american womanizer known for regularly sleeping with a man's wife whose shown visible disgust at the idea of massaging a 40 something year old man turned gay
kek. The only established character in this show who even has any possibility of being made gay is Connie since she's not with Bobbie anymore. Maybe G.H or Gracie if they want someone who's a blank slate. The might make Bill a trans lesbian too
That was a joke on how Dale believe John Redcorn is gay
They should recast dale and just say his smoking messed up his voice as a metajoke
Is this revival actually a thing? or some mass gaslighting campaign? All I ever see for it are screencaps from twitter and clickbait websites all citing other tweets and clickbait articles. I have yet to see anyone in any official capacity say anything on it for what feels like 10 years and I'm somewhat convinced this is a game of telephone where everyone is too embarrassed to admit they got bamboozled by internet clickbait to let it die.

Unfortunately the best we got is quotes from Mike Judge; I can't be certain of the veracity that they actually came from him, but I can certainly provide something:
Here's Parade's article on it.
https://parade.com/tv/king-of-the-hill-revival-on-hulu
And IMDB's page:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26585105/
If you're wondering why John Hardwick is listed under the credits, it's because he worked on a couple episodes before passing away.
Not sure if that's sufficient for you, but it's provided as is.
The IMDB page works for me, it's more concrete than all these articles I've been seeing about it.
I'm afraid they might do an episode about ladybird.
Ladybird dying was originally the planned finale. She's definitely going go already be dead at the time of the reboot. Bloodhounds live 10-12 years on average and she was already 13 at the end of the original run.
Hank would be absolutely ancient, like 70 minimum. Why make this?
homie, it's 8 years in the future. That'd put Hank at 49 or 50.
That is ancient.
Do Karl, Ricky and Stephen still hate each other?
Ricky was the worst part of his own show
Nah, he's there to be an unapologetic fat c**t shitstirrer as well as the laugh track, without it the show would just be a manc and a timid scouser having a funny but not all that interesting discussion
It would mildly brighten my day to hear that Ricky died
They’re going to make him gay aren’t they?
They say he's running a fusion eatery so he's probably with connie. They might make jokes about him being kinda fruity but they always did that. Relax
why the frick is the "king of steak" cooking fusion?
barbecue or be disowned.
He barely learned how to cook a burger in the last episode
it's a barbecue/Laotian fusion joint he runs with Connie, OBVIOUSLY
Because if you have cows you have barbeque
>look day-ed, it's called hibawchi, the sauce is already on the steak
Those chinese fellas cook a mean pepper steak i tell you hwat
I was really hoping they'd time-skip the show if they were gonna do a revival, nice to hear that's the plan. I'm sure Dale's still gonna be in since his conspiracy paranoia has no shortage of jokes nowadays, but his VA dying mid-production is definitely a big blow.
I figure they're gonna address Lucky and Luanne's VA's dying outright with Hank and Peggy having adopted Gracie years ago, and have a memorial episode or something for the both of them(and Dale's VA.).
Everything about cotton dying was so poorly done.
He wasn't a person in the original run?
Lemme guess: Bobby and Connie are no longer together, in fact Joseph and Connie are. Bobby will have a new age hippy gf who’s black. Right?
Him going from one racemix to another isn't very outlandish.
>Lemme guess: Bobby and Connie are no longer together, in fact Joseph and Connie are.
Dude did you watch the show
This beats the theories he would be a disgusting Incel or something as a way to bash internet people. I dig Bobby who has always had a good relationship with food beyond just eating such as his meat grading or grilling, has got a business of his own based in food. The only concern is it's in Dallas. But here's hoping Bobby at least had the Dallas Sallad.
>This beats the theories he would be a disgusting Incel or something as a way to bash internet people.
There would be ridiculous pushback if that somehow got suggested; Bobby was one of the nicest characters on the show.
So is he a chef, or just a cook?
Bobby is finally allowed to grow up!
I hope they have Bobby be a cornfed juggernaut of a man in the reboot. Just the pinnacle of masculinity despite his at times weird interests.
I think one of the things I'm most interested to see in this is what Hank's relationship with GH is going to be like.
I always thought Bobby would be a janitor at Tom Landry and a struggling prop comic
>So we know they're bringing back king of the hill, yeah?
>But some of the voice actors are dead
>So the studios were like. What are we going to do? We need voice actors for the- to do the voices and what not
>So then a producer goes to the zoo one day and there was this little monkey
Frick I forgot the picture
>Bobby gave up his dream of becoming a prop comic/actor
at least Hank got his dream of Bobby being normal

Why are you all so obsessed with what could ruin the show instead of looking forward to it? This constant negativity surely effects your minds. Cynicism never solved anything and only contributes to problems rather than alleviate them
Yeah I'm sure this will be as good as any other reboot they've made in the last 10 years. Oh wait....
Why dwell on it though? Unless you're actively participating in the changes you want to see, complaining about them here does absolutely nothing productive other than garner more of your own vitriol
Do you know what website you are on? Are you a full blown moron?
Beavis and Butt-Head
My homie, have you seen the fate of even one other reboot/continuation attempt in the last eight years? And you fault people for having expectations?
Hope they just say lucky and luane moved away instead of killing them off. Just say they are in Dallas filming the manger baby show
GH will be autistic since both his parents are seniors
There'a a very reasonable chance of this happening.
Good Hank will be Chris-chan tier levels of autism probably
>Brittany Murphy is dead
>Johnny Hardwick is dead
>Toby Huss isnt allowed to be Khan, and Cotton is dead.
>Tom Petty is dead
This shit is cursed, why the frick is it stilll going to go on
>from 12
>to le 21
so they just moved the numbers around huh
The world becomes a better place when you imagine every argument as Ricky getting mad at Karl for struggling and failing to convey a simple point
Problem is, who is Bobby now?
We don't SEE him move from goofy butterball to an adult with a real job. Not some basic ass burnt out working at a burger place.
how many fricking times are we going to hear about a KotH reboot before the idea gets smothered to death for good? it's like for the past decade i've been hearing about "talks of a KotH revival!" and every time it's been nothing but either pure shit or worrying at best.
>chef at a fusion restaurant in dallas
sounds to me like "character arc about being a failed or failing comedian" galore!
Bobby should be way older.
I was born the same year KOTH came out, now I'm 26.
so they're just taking that cajun sauce episode and making a show out of it? sounds boring, will Gilbert be dead from aids yet?
Why not just recast Dale?
