I gotta say, as long as we've known about Luanne being pregnant, she's really going at a snail's pace for this. It reminds me of Bonnie. Oh well, hopefully it's a good episode.
 
How appropriate.

One of the most unlikable, loathsome, horrible characters on this show....is killed by the other most unlikable, loathsome, horrible character.
 
I don't know, he was a jerk. But that was the point of his character. I was actuallly doubting it and he would pop back just tell Peggy was lying. Oh well. Atleast he'll have his shins now.
 
I felt bad for Hank through most of this episode -- this series constantly surprises me on how down-to-earth and emotional it can convey it's situations and characters. Sometimes I even identified with them - Cotton's last conversation with Peggy hit a bit close to something that happened with one of my grandparents.

And you can say what you want about Peggy, but she's a very caring person when considering this.

I had to re-think the cause of Cotton's death.. it seemed silly until I realized that's exactly how an older person would die, in a situation that could have been prevented had they have been younger and sharper.

A+

So far this season, like The Simpsons' and Family Guy's, have been very solid. I'm impressed, Fox.
 
Thought I would have some emotion about Cotton finally kicking off, but wow, I felt nothing. He was a war hero, yes, but he was also a reprehensible human being.

I still think he'll be back to haunt Hank and Peggy from time to time as a ghost,with or without shins.
 
Crazy, man. I second-guessed him actually dying again, but...

I think this was a more realistic death than Buckley, so I approve it. I'll miss Cotton a lot. =\
 
Didi left him with a while ago, she took GH, too.

I actually felt sad for Hank. Cotton may have been a jerk, but he was a good person underneath all the hatefulness.

Fantastic episode, the ending with the shed was perfect. Classic King Of The Hill.
 
It was funny to watch this right after the Simpsons. It's the exact opposite. It's a show that's still as good as it ever was in its later years AND it's willing to change the status quo permanently.
 
Im upset, Dale and Cotton are my favorite characters, they make everything funny, i cant believe one of them died.

Ok episode though
 
I can't remember what happened with that. The whole time, I kept thinking "where are Didi and G.H?!"

Anyway, pretty good episode. The ending with the shed was a nice touch. :)
 
I wish they'd figure out what they want to do with Bobby, one minute he's having girl troubles, the next, he's too young to know about death.

I'm kinda glad Didi didn't show up, as she's a very one-note character. Cotton's death was handled surprisingly well for all the jokes that were told here during rather somber scenes. The ending with the shed was classic KOTH, I didn't see it comming.
 
It was a quick joke in one episode, a lot of people missed it the first time around. I only caught it in reruns. Didi drops him off at the Hill's house and drives off angrily. That's the last we see of Didi and GH, but now I hope we get to see them again.

The ending made me feel better when Dale blew the shed up, he really did respect Cotton.
 
While I agree that he was way too immature in this episode, it seemed more that Peggy was doing her normal thing about not wanting to tell him about a normal situation. =\
 
I really enjoyed this episode, and as hard as it is to believe, it made me love Cotton even more than when we found out he and Hank would sit audience to hippies getting sprayed.

Being the final season, I think his death was very appropriate, and I loved how he went out....always had to one-up the other guy- even in death.

Wow Luann and Lucky are braindead, regarding parenting...great, so basically they're up to par with the majority of the world- got it!

Again, excellent episode. RIP Cotton- you're the man. Here's to you :)
