more like:
shit happens the show

the people of king of the hill weren't good nor bad, they were just (relatively) normal people. That's what made the show so special, it showed how normal people react to insane scenarios.

>>68076635
This, ironically I always thought KOTH had the most human and natural characters in a show despite being a cartoon
>>
No it's traditional people contrasting with a ever-evolving world.

The best part is that they show that both are flawed in certain ways. Hank is often showed to be too scared of new trends that are ultimately good, but then there are other times when his traditional way of thinking is much more rational than the, let's call it, MTV culture.

The reason the show works is that Mike Judge does such a good job of riding the line of not projecting his personal beliefs onto show. Ultimately the program shows the good and bad sides of both lifestyles.

They (especially hank) were relatively normal people who were ultimately good. Underlying any imperfection was still a desire for justice and sincere support of what they think is right.

I can't think of any tv comedy (animated or otherwise) with such subtle humor. Not trying to be "2deep4u" but I really think the people that didn't like KOTH literally didn't get the jokes. The show requires patience as you have to understand all of the characters very well to understand what makes certain phrases/mannerisms in specific situations funny, but once the show "clicks" it honestly becomes probably the most consistently funny show ever televised.
>>
>>68077140
I felt a large drop in quality from 5 onwards
fully droped it halfway through 8

>>68077244
Blame Fox they're the ones who can only let those services use KOTH and they probably just want people to buy the DVDs

Absolutely this. I think 30 Rock also does a pretty great job of this (with liberal vs. conservative), and these are two of my favorite shows.

It's not that black/white. Part of it also has to do with the relatability of that midwest lifestyle. You can definitely get it without thinking it's funny, especially if you just don't relate to that upbringing at all.

are you kidding me? peggy is the worst character on the show. All she does is whine, doubt herself, make poor decisions, and then boast about her shitty achievements. She's completely self-centered, and annoying to watch.

Correct character ranking:
Hank
Dale
Bobby
Boomhauer
Bill
Cotton
