OT: New King of the Hill
- Thread starter 11thEagleFan
- Start date
I’m off of work today so I stayed up and watched about ten episodes last night. I think they did a great job, but there was one thing I couldn’t really get over. Kahn’s new “voice”. The change with Dale doesn’t bother me, but Kahn’s is pretty bad. They got really creative with all of the different ways Hank has to adapt to life back in Texas, and I liked that.
I watched four episodes and haven't seen Khan yet. I think Dale is still Johnny Hardwick in the episodes I've watched so far. Laughed out loud in the episode about cultural appropriation at Joseph talking about being white while Bobby's shaking his head no at his employee that's giving him the look.
Same episode, the German guy asks Bobby if he’s related to Cotton.
“He machine-gunned my grandfather…”
“So he was one of the fitty men?”
lol

I’ve enjoyed it. Great continuation of the original series. I’m about 4 episodes in.
Watched the first two episodes last night. Was Dale’s voice AI generated? Sounded really “robotic”. I couldn’t ignore it. Pretty sure Johnny Hardwick died several years ago.
“Remember Hank, we are the dinosaurs and they’re the virus the evil dinosaurs government created to make them go extinct.” - Dale
I think he died last year but he had recorded something like six episodes worth. I haven't made it past that point yet.
It has been enjoyable. Criticisms I have are the characters seem to have aged way more than the time elapsed of about 8 years. Both Kahn and Dale's voices are completely out of character. I can live with Kahn's but I find Dale's completely off-putting.
I'd give the reboot a B just because it is new KOTH content. Based strictly on quality alone a C or C-.

I didn't know a new season was coming out. HULU was telling me ti watch new episodes, and I thought someone had just watched an old episode recently.
Dale's voice bothers me, but Im glad he's even crazier now. I've read a lot of Internet posts with his voice in my head these last few years.

I love it so far, mainly because of some gold nuggets from Hank (not verbatim)
"Because of all these no left turn signs, I have to drive 2 miles further to make a uturn to get to my alley. Greener my ***"
And a regrettable beer snob I loved :
I've been drinking beer for 40 years, and one thing I never wished for was it to be more fruity
Dales voice is weird but doesn't ruin it for me. Well done thru 3 episodes.

Loved that line. I always say: "If I wanted fruit in my beer, I would order wine." Its a Michael Ja kson quote (the writer and whiskey expert, not the singer).
I have watched the first two episodes and love it. I saw this today. I need a full episode of Hank and Theo.
There are several Dale Gribbles who post here.
Don't have Hulu so I haven't seen the new episodes. The old series was really good and Hank Hill was portrayed as a good, hard-working dad of average intelligence with common sense. Hollywood likes to make fun of dads, and Mike Judge did a bit in the old series, but Hank always came across as a decent guy. And the show was funny.
You’re exactly right about the dad thing. Almost every sitcom or similar show the dads are portrayed as bumbling idiots. There are exceptions but not many.
