King Of The Hill

Turtle Dove · 01-04-2006, 06:15 PM

I was watching King Of The Hill today, Peggy Hill isat home alone with a list of stuff she accomplished. In 1 scene, Peggy's second line beps and it's a teacher from the school,the first thing out of Peggy's mouth was,"Are you retiring?" Then she butted in the other teacher's business and tries to tech a bird to talk. THe other teacher pretends to be the bird and hanfs up. Peggy writes it down as another accomplishment she achieved. Then sits there,crosses her arms with a smirk on her face.

I never realized what a totally cocky "B" word Peggy was, she needs a seroius slap by Hank and told to get over herself.

I remember the episode where Hank was given "SugerFoot's" by Mr. Strickland, Peggy claimed half as hers then changed the name to,"Peggy's Sugerfoot",then changed the whole resturant to her style.

The creators of this show need to end the show with her getting what she deserves, "Hank: Peggy you've beeb a seroius cocky little you know what and I want a divorce!And before you start your cocky mumbo-gumbo of "Well I get this and that because I'm a woman", I already worked it out with my lawyer.You get nothing of mine!Now pack your bags and get the hell out-I tell you what!"

It's a Texas show but this Peggy Hill is NOT native Texan but from Montania

*The Stryker* · 01-04-2006, 07:36 PM

Hank isn't a native texan either...he was born in NEW YORK CITY BABY!

WAAAAAGUH!! I love KOTH it ranks right up there with futurama for me.

Yah that was the episide!

Yeah the writers decided this will be the final season. It will end the same way it began. 4 guys in the alley drinking beer. What a great Texas tradtion

I'm sorry to see it end myself, it's great to see a Texas based cartoon!

I got the epsiode right. I think the show had a good run. I just don't seem as interested in it as I did when it was on back a few years.

IceFlash78 · 01-08-2006, 08:18 PM

Personally, I've never liked King of the Hill. The family just rubs me the wrong way... Hank's too conservative, Peggy is too much of a take charge person, and Bobby lacks emotional/mental maturity that somebody of his age should have...

I'm reminded of that episode where Bobby believed that his parents were having a birthday party for him even though his birthday was like two months away, and he thought that a washing machine his father bought was his birthday present.

I dunno.. I just don't like the family.

I do like Peggy (despite my previous comments... she has a spunky personality... I wouldn't like to associate with her too much however) and Dale. I feel bad for uhh.. what's his name? the beer-bellied guy whose wife left him? I hope something good happens to him at the end of the season... he deserves to have a happy ending.

Turtle Dove · 01-08-2006, 08:48 PM

Bobby needs a seroius slap and needs to go to fat camp. I hope the truth of Jospeh comes out. Dale doesn't really deserve Nancy, and Jon Recorn deserves to have his son back.

you are talking about Bill. the one with the beer-belly.
Yea I think jhe sould as well. He had a few girlfriends throughout the series so he wasn't alone.. one time he was mad because Boomhauer got the women first before him. Eveytime he took a women into his house, he would play that song from DIDO. you know that women that was singing on enemen song. the one where he was falling off the building, etc. he was writng a letter.

Shreddette · 01-08-2006, 09:15 PM

The thing that bothers me most about King of the Hill is the way they portray their Laotian neighbour as a greedy, hateful-to-caucasian asian stereotype. It was much more offensive at the start of the show. I think they've toned it down but still. I would cringe in disgust at this. It seems racist to me and I know I am not alone in those sentiments.

Turtle Dove · 01-08-2006, 09:23 PM

I think it's bad too but it's cause Kon is bitter.

Shreddette · 01-08-2006, 09:33 PM

Yeah but his wife is also similar. The only redeeming character is Kon Junior.

Thing is I also know a Laotian and they don't sound like that. Their accent. It's insulting. Get it right, you know?? Ugh.

And yeah Peggy is a biznatch. Hank is a bit of a fart himself. The whole lot is a big joke and that's the point, which is good. At least they're not serious.

Turtle Dove · 01-08-2006, 11:54 PM

Maybe it's that certain asian race? I think they where trying to act as though they where better thn everyone else becase they live in Texas. The creators may of known an asian family and where making fun of them.

~~BartAllen~~ · 01-09-2006, 04:20 AM

I love KOTH. Its not as good as beavis and butthead, but its still a great show. I have the first 2 seasons on DVD. My favorite character is cotton, hanks father. hes funny as hell. I also liked hanks older halfbrother koreacheo. from that one episode.

and i love peggy hill. nothing wrong with a woman with self confidence. there are to many men like that. its good to see a woman who is a little full of herself.

MMM..I LOVE that episode! That dude has a sexy voice.I'd do anything for that guy

*Masked Ninja* · 01-09-2006, 11:18 PM

Ahh, King of the Hill... my guilty pleasure.

Yeah, everyone in this show is irritating in some way or another. But that's what's so great about it... they take these massive flaws and play with them. It's kinda like The Red Green Show. Sure, it's a dumb Canadian comedy... but it's so much better when you know the characters and their personalities.

Like that one episode where Peggy was in a bodycast and couldn't take charge? Priceless. Or that one where Bill dressed up like Santa and had a woman hitting on him... so he kept dressing like Santa well past New Year's and was lost when she started getting creeped out?

Even Hank's conservativeness (though I often agree with 'im

) is put to good use... they always make things happen to him that completely bother him. It's just fun to watch.

Fledermaus · 01-09-2006, 11:35 PM

Heheh. Like that garden gnome episode.

Priceless. Or Bobby the cheerleader. Or Bobby the white wizard.

While I don't have Hank's particular views, I find them strangely endearing. He has such simple, straightforward views... and I tend to overcomplicate things, so I'm glad there's such a mix of people in this country. We need these many types of people, and I always felt that somehow, the show was supporting that. As others have said, I think the show doesn't really paint individuals up as "evil" people -- everyone's got their major flaws, which serve as the basis for the farce.

As for that asian mentality... the go-getter attitude is a fairly accurate caricature of what I feel plagues a lot of 1st-generation Asian families... least from my background and the people I've known. *shrug*

I love the show. I haven't seen it much lately. Is it still on?

*The Stryker* · 01-09-2006, 11:38 PM

Its on everyday on FX where I'm at.

Ah, that makes it worse in my eyes.

I watch the show, all the same. I find it entertaining at the same time though I sometimes hate it, and have held discontent for its crap art style in the first place; but eventually, I got over it and enjoyed it for what it was. Which in my eyes, is a much more dry look at american life, and making fun of the stereotypes.

*Masked Ninja* · 01-10-2006, 12:27 PM

Yeah... the animation isn't so great. But somehow they grab me enough for me to ignore that.

Oh, and Fled... At least where I live it's on the WB late at night. Only problem is... it's kinda really late.

Traffic jams will be a thing of the past. I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on all day, all night! Soon there will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food! Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My God... It'll be beautiful.
