King of the Hill revival series headed to Hulu this summer

[Jman]

Another one for the Adult Swim to streaming pipeline.

This just makes American Dad's return to Fox more surprising, considering this was an option for them. But that would've continued the pipeline further.

In all seriousness, I haven't seen practically anything of this revival, so making it come out so soon pretty much says they don't have hope for it.

Did Beavis and Butthead get canceled?

I don’t think anyone really wants this. Opinion on it has only grown more negative with time. I think people were ok with writing Luanne and Lucky out, but Dale is over the line. And then the reveal of the timeskip where it’s pretty much gonna be The Bobby Show was where any remaining defenders threw in the towel. 
 

It can die in peace on Hulu

You can really smell the production delays in this sequence, especially with the Covid masks. And of course they have to wedge in a Trump parody with Dale running for some kind of office. 
 

Who is the black guy? New character? And does this imply Hank sells his house?

“Look... Covid! Stuff! We ended in 2009! Can you tell? Stuff!”

If not, maybe just for the one episode back or something and then produce a better intro once that gets tiresome.

Point of the intro that made it good in the first place was ordinary shit moving at perfect speed that matched with the tune playing.

Looks wonky, also. Which, yeah. They’re not using the intro the way it’s supposed to be used. It’s supposed to move fast and not exist to jingle keys. Still, KOTH theme credits should be like the last thing on list to look wonky in a reboot. Y’know. Since there’s minimal work. And little is animated.

So Hank apparently did leave Arlen while Bobby was presumably in culinary school.

Saudi Arabia is such a troll explanation, I’d have to wonder if Hank would make that into a catchphrase or if it’s brought up a couple times and never again.

It’s an 8 year time skip so they are showing everything that happened

 

Hank went to Saudi Arabia on a temporary job and lived in one of those company towns kind of like an army base. Those are more like small town America frozen in time than even in this country. He’s due for a culture shock when he returns 

Im assuming they rented the house in the meantime or it’s a work exchange program where a Saudi Guy moved into his house. They did cast for a new character named Mohammed

A firearm recovered from the scene is registered to one Rusty Shackleford, who is now the prime suspect in the crime.

Never thought I'd see the day John Deadcorn become Harsher in Hindsight... R.I.P.

Considering the thread I'm in, it's only appropriate.

Holy fucking ass this is dogshittily animated, Birdgirl of The Hill.

[discolé monade]

i don't think i'll be watching. all the good players are gone. 

[[classic swim]]

I guess I’ll be waiting on the torrents tonight. I at least need to see the first episode before it gets real late.

[Toonamiguy321]

I can see why they hid the Kahn recast till the last second, just abysmal. It sounds like a white person trying really hard to not be racist

The new VA is some Daily Show rookie who isn’t Laotian. He’s not white, but he’s not Laotian either.

I kinda blew a gasket when Amy Wong’s dad got replaced because.... did the executives just not see the fucking character design and how it’s racially charged by nature? So what’s the fucking point of putting a normal voice to something that vividly screams it’s a racial stereotype?

That’s sorta where I’m at with this. If the character was made to be boastful and over the top with his voice then get this talentless douchebag out of the recording booth and don’t bother using the character again.
