[I see my hands]

A great series. Many episodes had the feel and poignancy of an animated "Wonder Years".

I've long believed Bobby was the referenced King of the Hill.

[Reagan Man]

That was a fun show to watch its first two years or so.
Until the originality and uniqueness wore off.

I’ll miss ol’ Hank and Paiggy ... paranoid Dale Gribble, too. But, they’ve been heading into gay for Bobby, and I really don’t want to see that, funny as it no doubt would be at the hands of the writers. Time to call it a day.

[TightyRighty]

I said good day!

[fortunate sun]

Rusty Shackleford will probably go to ground.

Excelsior!

[Liberty Valance]

Cancelled? Bobby, run get my shotgun ....

[exist]

That last episode of Wonder Years was really sad.

This season has been a downer so far and I’m not surprised.. They should cancel the Simpsons too..

[Lexington Green]

Hank would never vote Obama.

Wish it was the Simpsons. I used to love that show but now it is nothing more than propaganda for the left. Their relentless attacks on Fox News. Countless environmental messages. Evil capitalism. But when they did an episode dedicated to the Dixie Chicks that was obviously not even intended to be funny; that was the final straw.

I know some people are going to say that they take swipes at the left too. To that I say, MSNBC on occasionally has Republicans on it, big deal. Same with Family Guy, so what Rush Limbaugh was on it. They hate us. They loathe everything we stand for.

You know, this show would’ve been so much better had it been live with real people. The animation is cheesy, but overall the show was pretty good, with a good dose of populist-conservatism.

[LiberConservative]

“That ain’t right!”

[BobbyT]

“Look at my lawn, there’s something wrong with it.
It’s like a pretty girl with short hair!”

I agree.

[Vaquero]

that boy aint right.

[COBOL2Java]

I visited Garland TX, which I believe is Mike Judge’s inspiration for Hank Hill’s fictional Arlen. Homes looked a lot like Hank’s neighborhood. Swear I heard Boomhauer; I even think I saw the MegaLo Mart! :0)

[normy]

If you lived in Texas or grew up here it would be funnier than it is. Everyone knows Hank, Dale, Bill and Boomhower if they have lived here long enough.

[La Enchiladita]

My favorite shows ALWAYS get axed.

[Welsh Rabbit]

KOTH of one of those rare shows that jumped shark and then came back. Only my opinion, of course, but I thought the first few seasons were strong, then it get weak for awhile, but it found it's way again. It seems to be losing steam lately though and the writers are having to resort to making Hank and the others do things that are way out of character.

They should cancel the Simpsons too..

At least KOTH will go out with some dignity, never having a season that too embarrassingly awful. The Simpsons missed that boat by at least a decade.
