How much time passes in the King of the Hill intro?

[neatoman]

Sorry if this thread seems a little stupid but I've been watching a bunch of episodes of KOTH and something's bugging me, how much time passes in the intro? While it's obviously just meant to be a joke about how much time Hank and the guys waste doing nothing but drink beer, the stuff happening around them seems dispropotionate to each other.


It takes longer for Bobby to ride around in a circles around Ladybird than it does for Peggy drag a couch to the curb alone. Peggy and Luanne changing a tire is also quicker, in fact, they do it faster than the garbage truck has time to take the trash. It's also very dark in the beginning implying the sun hasn't quite risen yet (in fact, you can see it rising). And I'm guessing Buckley picking up Luanne at the end implies he got off work, meaning it should be sometime in the afternoon. Now I checked and sunrise is at the latest around 7:15 AM in Texas and assuming Buckley gets off from work at 15:00 PM, that would be a time lapse of Seven hours and forty-five minutes. If we assume the earliest possible sunrise and Buckly working a later shift, then it's between 6:19 and 18:00, eleven hours and forty-one minutes.

So what do you think?

neato, I love you for this thread

Like you said, obviously the intro isn't meant to accurately depict the passage of time but more so to convey the nature of a day spent doing nothing but shooting the breeze. I'd always wondered what it'd look like if you slowed it down some

My fianc?e and I were just thinking of rewatching this series, too, funnily enough
