King of the Hill - "Lucky See, Monkey Do" - Talkback [2/8]

As always, Bill's dream is shattered.

Jane: I didn't know you were so... old.
Bill: I didn't know you were so... young.
Jane: I'm not young. I'm 17.
Bill: I'm gonna drive home now...
 
A great episode, and a perfect end to one of King of The Hill's longest lasting plot points.

I figured Lucky's sister was going to become Peggy the 2nd and a really close friend of her's, but she quicly shot that idea down. Their clash of ideals over how children ae raised was pretty tense.

It kind of felt like they were recycling the new age sensitive parent idea from the Scouts episode, compete with sugarless kids. However, the kids weren't as involved as the previous episode, which is a shame since I wanted to hear more Hankisms from Bobby.

I was sad that Bill's lovequest ended in failure. Never heard of outsourced drive-thru windows though. That girl was pretty cute.

The Highlights reference was hilarious. Sad to know Master Moron has never been exposed to it.
 
Ha! The Simpsons switches to widescreen next week, and I already knew about that, but KOTH surprised me and beat them by one week! HA! That's great....
(Note: Luanne is still picked up by Buckley on the motorcycle. The whole thing was reanimated and they could have changed it to Lucky, but weirdly, they did not...)

Any word from ABC on a possible pickup yet, or not?

Spotted: a poster in the birthing center that said "YES SHE CAN." Even if this is their last season, they got in a reference to the next president.
 
I was surprised to see Luanne suddenly that pregnant, lol. I'm happy that plot point was wrapped up.

The goofus line was great.

Usually, I'm all for Peggy getting knocked off of her high horse, but I felt so bad watching all of her parenting tips get demolished in that class. So awkward.
 
And it looks FANTASTIC. I mean, the compositions take on a new level of elegance that wasn't seen before. It's a shame KOTH didn't do this much earlier.

Anyway, I always found it curious that Luanne didn't start showing up to...what, this episode?

At this point, I'm wondering if Bill will ever get a "normal" long-lasting love interest before the end of the show (at least on Fox). He's like the Trix Rabbit. You laugh at his loserdom but after a while you're saying, "Come on, can't the brother get a break?" :sweat:
