Next Year's King of the Hill Finale: Should Nancy Get Away With It?

I'd lean towards no simply because they've resolved the Nancy thing when she breaks up with Redcorn and the Joseph thing when Dale figured it was alien intervention. I don't really see it as Nancy getting away with it. Yeah, what she did was wrong, but she did feel really guilty about it towards the end, and the episode where she thought Dale was going to cheat on her but didn't turned her perspective around. If anyone on this show needs their comeuppance in the end, it's Buck Strickland.



The thing is, Dale does kind of know. When he went on that vision quest thing, he saw a Native American impregnate his wife. Yes, he thought that was him, but on some level, he is aware that Joseph is not his son. I think he's subconsciously denying it so much that he's unable to put 2 and 2 together.
 
Nah, I say keep Dale in the dark about it. The gag has become too well-loved at this point, and to throw it out the window and have him find out would just destroy it.

And I wouldn't say Dale *knows* - he just sees the truth right in front of him, but he's too much a moron to accept it. Besides, wouldn't having him find out destroy his relationship with Joseph?
 
Quoted for truth. I want to see Buck Strickland ruined and penniless and then run out of town on a rail. One of the single biggest things I detest about Hank Hill is his constant covering for Buck. You can somewhat understand his enabling of Peggy (she's his wife and he loves her). But Buck deserves NO-ONE'S loyalty especially someone who he tried to frame for murder who has been nothing but a good employee. But Hank speaks in hushed, admiring tones of Buck that angers me every time I hear it. Any time someone tries to tell me Hank has common sense I point them in Buck's direction and Hank's reverance for him as proof that he does not.
 
It kind of contradicts his personality. His admiration for people can only go so far, but with Buck it's different.

Remember when that football player moved into the neighborhood? He was a hero to Hank too, but everyone still hated him by the end.
 
That's another interesting development over the seasons, Hank's relationship with Buck has actually deteriorated immensely.

In the first few seasons, he thought of Buck almost like a second father (Err... Well, you know what I mean) and had enormous respect for him. But as the show progressed and Buck revealed the person he truly is, Hank slowly stopped seeing him that way.

Compare a conversation he had with someone about Buck back in the earlier seasons to something more recent. He's not too kind on the man, at all. Seeing all the horrible things he did to Hank (including framing him for murder), it's no wonder. Heck, did you see that episode where Bobby was Buck's caddy? At the end when Buck got punched in the face, Hank smiled.

Now he only seems to tolerate Buck because it's his job and nothing more.

It really is my favorite relationship in the show.
