King of the Hill Talkback: "Bobby Rae"

Both Cotton and Hank are pretty much conservatives though. I'm sure there are conservative protesters in existence, but we usually look at liberals as "hippie protesters."
 
I think there was a bit of a dip in quality a couple of seasons ago, but starting with last season, they've really been picking it up.

I'm glad they didn't stay canceled, if only Family Guy could've come back half as well as this.
 
Uh huh.

I'm not trying to defend this episode because I thought it was par for the course for KOTH, but KOTH has been doing these types of storylines even before FG first appeared. If anything, that's my problem with it; I've seen it on KOTH before, several seasons ago.
 
Yeah I know. Perhaps bringing FG into it wasn't entirely fair or necessary. I'm just saying it was similar to an episode of another show I watched recently, especially since both were about the son of the family trying to impress a girlfriend who's into politics/protests. The execution of both (not to mention the conclusion) was very different, though.
 
Ah, poor Bobby, left out of the whole coupling scene and then swept away in protest madness. That was a pretty good episode, and I loved the subplot with Dale and the quotes. Kinda wondering if we'll ever see Joseph with that girl again.



That's true, it's insane how King of the Hill is able to keep this up. Many shows can't even get half those seasons without losing something.
 
Wow, I now have so much more respect for Cotton Hill...I'd have paid to see that, too!


Uhm...yeah..Che Guavara was, if I'm not mistaken, a revolutionary for Castro. So I now officially pronounce that babe that Bobby wanted as Josephine Stalina :D

What I also liked in this episode was the parallels between Bobby's classmates and the teachers- and the Baby Boomer generation & THEIR parents.

I also liked what a hypocrite the girl wound up being toward the end( she mentioned wanting to go to Disney World, and loads of hamburgers, which totally contradicts everything she's "against"), and how she mentioned her father was dating the top student in the class who claimed "public school teaches about commercialism and consumption"- that was priceless.

I'm not gonna go any deeper into politics, cause this isn't the forum for it.

I'll just say it was very well done, and King of the Hill is definitely earning a spot on my list of All Time Favorite TV shows. It really is keeping up where other shows crash and burn.
