Would the Beavis and Butthead revival not be one of the others?

Would the Beavis and Butthead revival not be one of the others?

Maybe they will finally crossover.

[Leo656]

I love this show, but I'm nervous about it.

First off, both Lucky and LuAnne's voice actors are dead. How are they going to address this? Recasting is an option, and part of me wants that since LuAnne was one of the most popular characters and everything, but it would also be very strange to hear "wrong" voices coming out of those characters.

I have a feeling that the show will have written them out somehow, perhaps dying in some tragic accident, and then Hank and Peggy are raising their kid as the second child they always wanted but never got to have. It would be bittersweet to say the least but it also kind of fits into the history of things they've done before.

BUT, they also might just recast. And that'd be fine, too.

On the other hand, times have changed. Can this show still work and remain true to itself without twisting the characters into something they're not, just to appease modern-day sensibilities? I wouldn't want to see that. For example, Hank's always been fairly open-minded (at least when forced to be), but one big thing about him is that he's been consistently and thoroughly horrified by the idea of transgender people. It's a consistent trait. Are we to realistically believe that his position on that subject has "evolved"? I don't think it would, nor do I think it necessarily should. But you know they'd have to mention it somehow, since every show nowadays "has" to have a trans character featured prominently.

I can see the new show sticking JoJack in a dress, and Hank and everyone else being forced to just deal with it like it's not big deal. But I won't lie, kinda don't wanna see that.

I really love the original show, and a revival intrigues me, but only if it's still true to itself and not some "modern-day thinking" thing, forced to be something it never was. Same with Beavis & Butt-Head.

We'll see. Could go a lot of ways. I do have faith in Judge. BUT, it's not altogether impossible that he'd be forced to make some "compromises" just to stay in the business. It's not like his phone's been ringing off the hook for the last decade or so. I would HOPE that he wouldn't bend over just to appease Hollywood but at the same time, guy's gotta eat.

[AquaParade]

King of the Hill is one of the few shows I still watch occasionally, but nowhere past around season 6. In fact, I prefer to just stick to the first few seasons. It just has a different type of charm, early on, that I love.

I'll check this out, and I'm glad to hear it's back, but it may not be for me. Though, it could be a chance for them to refresh and get back to the core of the series.

[Leo656]

Its so weird because a couple of months ago it wasn't on anywhere in reruns, and hadn't been for like, years. It's a show my wife and I would always watch constantly whenever it was on, no matter how many times we'd seen it, because it's just that good in general. We have the first eight Seasons on DVD (everything past that is stupid expensive since they were under-printed and thus rare) but we still catch reruns when we can. But just a couple of months ago, I literally said out loud, "Isn't it so weird that King of the Hill just, like, disappeared?"

Then FX gets the rights to it and starts putting on daily multi-hour blocks out of nowhere, AND they're talking about a revival series.

I really should complain more often, if this is how things turn out. :lol:

[TigerClaw]

The new King of the Hill should be about Bobby all grown up and having a family of his own, And his parents now being grandparents, The show being set during current times would be interesting to explore.

I would imagine some of Hank Hill's friends probably being Trump supporters, So imagine all the stuff they can do to riff on that.

[Leo656]

That kid had no future. Real Life was destined to hit Bobby like a truck and the show's entire run made that insistently and repeatedly clear.

If they do age everyone up, he'd definitely still be living at home with his parents and single. Maybe divorced. He'd basically be Bill, which in turn lends credence to the persistent fan-theories over the years that Bobby was actually Bill's son and not Hank's, given the fact that Bobby and Hank had nothing at all in common (whereas Bobby and Bill had a LOT in common) along with Bill's unhealthy obsession with Peggy. The rumor/theory goes that one night Peggy had drunken pity sex with Bill and Bobby was the result, which would also make sense considering Hank's narrow urethra and their constant and continued difficulty conceiving. I don't take it as canon, myself, but on its face it does actually make perfect sense, honestly it makes MORE sense than Bobby being Hank's kid if we're being real about it.

In any case, grown-up Bobby would 100% be Bill. That'd be depressing, I don't need to see that.

Regardless though I do think, last I heard, that the new show was indeed going to do a time-jump and have everyone be older. Not sure if anything's changed but I did hear that at one point.

My prediction in that case is that LuAnne and Lucky are dead, somehow, Hank and Peggy are raising their daughter, and meanwhile lamenting Bobby's ongoing failure to leave the nest. I can totally see that being the show. But we'll see. That could still work. It would definitely be a bit of a different show but I can see it still being good.

I tend to roll my eyes at these types of fan-theories, which I am, in fact, doing right now, but that was fun to read nonetheless. Some clever connections.

Never imagined Bobby would grow up to be a loser like Bill. He has such a good heart. But then again, Bill has a good heart too, he's just incredibly weak-minded and desperate. Hm.

[ProphetofGanja]

So stoked to finally get an official confirmation of this (rumors had been percolating for at least a year or so prior, and I'd had my fingers crossed). I had already been coming up with my own story ideas for a successor show called "Over the Hill" that followed all the characters we know five to ten years down the line. I think that's a way more interesting premise than just revisiting everybody in the same place they were in at the end of the first run of the show.

That's characteristically pessimistic of you, Leo, but come on, like there's never been a kid who differed from their parent even slightly :trolleye:

I would imagine that's probably a reason why they would not do that (age them up, make it a commentary on now).

I agree, that'd be way more interesting. The same with Beavis & Butthead's revival. You know, instead of let's pretend exactly one week has passed since last we saw them yet suddenly there's smartphones and Netflix and stuff.

[AquaParade]

Yeah, I'd be down for "Over the Hill".

I used to think Hank and Mr. Anderson from Beavis and Butthead were the same guy. Obviously, that mostly came down to the voice.

That's what I initially thought/hoped... but it sounds like no, that was just a gag?

[Leo656]

Doesn't matter if someone has a "good heart". Loser kids turn into Loser Adults. Look at this forum for evidence.

Bobby had zero work ethic (HOW many times did that show use the "Bobby can't handle money" and "This kid is so lazy he can't wipe his ass without help" as the basis for an entire episode? So many I lost count) and he wanted life to be all fun and games. Real Life eats those people alive, I've seen it a million times.

The show's always been pretty realistic by design, so if they give Bobby any kind of "successful" adulthood that's honestly some serious bullsh*t. That just isn't how life works.

As for the fan theory, I don't subscribe to it myself BUT it's probably the best one I've ever seen about anything. Most fan theories are total nonsense that require tons of logical loopholes to make sense, but Bobby being Bill's kid would make total sense. It would make Peggy a bad person, but let's be honest, she's a bad person anyway. Not on purpose, but she's a total narcissist and mostly only does "good" things for her own benefit. I could even see the new show coming out with that as the big first episode revelation, people wouldn't like it but story-wise it would make sense.

Anyway, I didn't come up with it but apparently it's a theory people have been floating for at least ten years. Once more, not my canon but I can totally see it.

[ProphetofGanja]

So they confirmed a time-jump but the show itself isn’t even confirmed yet :roll:

This right here is why I dont think he would be a Bill, I think he is much more of a Luanne. Its been a while since I have watched it and he did seem like a typical kid with no real motivation but I remember him applying himself when he found something he liked.

I would think his part of the story would probably be him living with his parents still...a college dropout (or under student loans from going to school for something that does not have a good turn around) trying to find his place in the world. He would probably be working a Mega-lo-mart while trying to get Standup gigs or something like that.

I wouldn't put him as a "Bill" mostly because bill comes from a lifetime of experience and heart break. He has 0 self esteem (something that Bobby fluxuated with) because he had been beaten down over time.

I think people are being cynical when they dismiss Bobby as incapable of success. He's very much his own person and not interested in measuring himself by someone else's standard. There are so many possible outcomes for the characters with a fifteen year-timejump, they can do almost anything.

I wouldn't put him as a "Bill" mostly because bill comes from a lifetime of experience and heart break. He has 0 self esteem (something that Bobby fluxuated with) because he had been beaten down over time.

But remember how Bill appeared in high school? He was a god, a GOLDEN GOD

King of the Hill's Long-Anticipated Revival Will Not Air on FOX (https://www.cbr.com/king-of-the-hill-revival-will-not-air-on-fox/)

TL;DR, FOX wants to own a majority stake in any new show they greenlight

[Coola Yagami]

I wonder how people will accept the show nowadays considering they're pretty much conservatives and nowadays, regardless of if they voted for 45 or not, are still seen as evil.

Maybe the show will focus on Bobby and his family, he seemed the most likely to grow up following all the woke trends. Maybe Connie got the side haircut with blue hair and is bi or whatever. Then whenever Hank and Peggy show up they're portrayed as 'those gosh darn dumbass Trumper rednecks that don't know any better' and whatever they do or say is always portrayed in the wrong.

Cause like it or not, Hank Hill is one of TV's most likeable conservative main characters. And that's problematic.

My thoughts exactly.

It would be cool if Adult Swim got broadcast rights too, but I don't know how likely that is. It's not like the show *needs* the leeway that being broadcast through a streaming service that isn't beholden to network standards offers, ultimately it's a pretty wholesome show.

And that's why I think it could totally pull-off showcasing characters who are indeed right-leaning, because for the most part they're just regular folks who try to live by their own codes of ethics, Hank especially. Hank DEFINITELY would not have voted for Trump, I imagine he'd turn the TV off anytime he saw him on the news :lol:

I think the problem is, some of them def would have voted for Trump which would have gotten the writers into a bit of a crossroads. Luckily I don't think the show ever dealt with actual real-life politics or mentioned Bush or whoever was the pres at the time. Like for all the talk of 'representation' they should represent the people that voted for Trump that didn't drink the Kool-Aid and are still regular decent folks.

But I don't think anyone can possibly get away with showing a character that votes for Trump (or wearing the cap) without insinuating that they're evil or stupid or racist or whatever. The media did a good job brainwashing the nation but I sincerely doubt literally everyone that voted for the guy is a cartoonishly evil redneck that waves the Confederate flag around and secretly wishes Hitler would return or some nonsense.

The only character I can see them getting away with it is Dale cause they play it off as he's just that stupid to believe all the theories about him. Hell, they'll def make him go againsts masks and the vaccines and parrot all the 'crazy' talking points despite the fact that most of them have been proven true by now.

Hank is a toss up. I don't see him voting for Hillary either to be honest. And he's too 'red blooded American' to flat out not vote.

Makes you wonder if they all still finished high school in 1975 or thereabouts. And of Peggy still won three Substitute Teacher of the Year awards in the late 1990s. Or how many Cowboys Superbowls Hank’s original truck had seen before it got hit by that train.

[Andrew NDB]

A little disappointing design-wise... they look exactly the same. All they did was make Hank's hair a little grayer and added a couple lines to Boomhower's face.

Bill and Hank ditching boots for… comfort-fit sneakers is interesting. Bill has really tight pants but not sure if that means his legs are just fatter or more muscular than before. Some have been curious if Dale changed his brand of loyal orange hat.

Their birth years have likely shifted a bit. I know from some leaks that Bobby is 21 in this season, so about eight years have passed since the last one in universe. Hank was 41 by season 5 and remained that age until the end, so logically he'd be 49 here. Assuming this season does take place in 2025, then Hank would be born in 1976, so no, he can't have attended High School... One year before he was born...

[Andrew NDB]

I would've preferred to see them shake things up. Like Hank is noticeably older but dressing "young" as he goes through a midlife crisis, one of them on a respirator, etc..

Wonder how they're gonna handle the 'good guy conservative' shtick. King of the Hill is the only show I can think of where the main characters are mainly conservative while portrayed in a positive light. That won't fly in today's America and I'm surprised they're even attempting a reboot with the current climate. Maybe they'll be more centrist this time around? I'm sure they'll use Dale's conspiracy theories to mock conservative conspiracy theories, and we might get some Trump and Rogan expies in there somewhere.

Hank was always a moderate conservative. Literally the first scene in the pilot was him worrying about man made climate change. Every time they tackled a social issue on the show Hank would would come around to accepting it even if it still confused him or made him uncomfortable. The whole narrative of the series is him learning to accept his not traditionally masculine son. Heck even the idea of him being a Repubican is kinda questionable; in the infamous George W. Bush limp handshake episode it's left purposefully left ambiguous how he voted in the end.

Before all that news came out, the big KotH news was that Toby Huss was officially made the Dale Gribble voice replacement for the late Johnny Hardwick (so many of those cast members have passed away it's sad). Huss had previously voice Cotton Hill and Kahn Souphanousinphone (I assume they recast him and Minh due to cultural sensitivity or whatever) and most 90s kids might remember him fondly as "Artie the Strongest Man in the World" from Nickelodeon's Pete & Pete. I'm just glad the show won't kill Dale off because King of the Hill without Dale would just be...

So the whole season dropped a couple days ago on HULU, apparently. Anybody watch?

[neatoman]

So the whole season dropped a couple days ago on HULU, apparently. Anybody watch?

Uh, yeah, I did. If you are wondering what the worst parts are, it's the new voice actors for Kahn and Ted. The ones they got for characters like Joseph and Chane were fine but I don't know what the hell they were thinking with the ones for Kahn and Ted. Kahn sounds weirdly mellow now and Ted... I mean... Wow, way to miss the point. The entire joke with Ted's voice is supposed to be that he is so focused on sounding American that he can't emote and sounds more like a text to speech program, now he just speaks in a perfectly normal voice and I don't understand why.

Beyond that, yeah it's fine, it's just that some of the new voices are a bit distracting and I think they intended for the time skip to be longer initially but then made it a bit shorter. Presumably this is all meant to take place eight years after the last season based on the kids being 21 now, but GH is way older than he should be (unless they retconned his birth to take place earlier in Bobby's life) and it's pretty strange for Hank and his old high school friends to be retired when logically they're only 50 or so.

The jokes and stories are fine, I can't really say anything there feels too off. The one joke that seemed a little too strange to fit in the previous seasons is one about Kahn thinking a pair of lizards are intentionally mocking him by mating in front of him every night.
