I love how when you learn David Cross does a voice on any show (Like KOTH or Futurama) it will be stuck in your brain forever and that character instantly just becomes David Cross. It makes the Tarot Card episode even better.

I know I've posted this before, but it bears repeating

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_guest_stars_on_King_of_the_Hill

and its incomplete! and funny when you realize Tom Petty and Danny Trejo are regulars and thus not listed at all.


God I just love how this show incorporates guest stars seamlessly. Sure there are times when it is clear that this one shot character *must* be voiced by someone famous: Chris Rock, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt etc. But then they'll have an episode chock full of famous people and you won't notice at all. Like "Talking Shop" with Alyson Hannigan, Lindsay Lohan and Laura Prepon.

When does the Simpsons, or Family Guy ever do that?!

The only guest star I can think of on another show that trumps KOTH, is George Clooney as Sparky the gay dog on South Park.

Actually, one thing that does happen from time to time on KOTH is a guest star will be used for the first appearance of a character and then someone else from then on out.

Burt Reynolds was only Thatherton in his first appearance, it was Toby Huss after that (Kahn, Cotton).

Same with Roger 'Booda' Sack. It was Chris Rock in his first appearance, but was Phil LaMarr after that

Fortunately, that didn't happen with Lucky.

Hank is excited for Bobby to take auto shop class, but Bobby opts instead to be a "Peer counselor," a position of power which he abuses to trick girls into going out with him. Each one of the guests was a girl Bobby pissed off some way - Prepon was the lead counselor, and I think Hannigan was a girl Bobby convinced to break up with a boy. It's a pretty good episode with a nonstop barrage of amazing Hank quotes.

Hank: I'll buy him an old junker car and we can restore her together. We'll stay up late fixing her up, just me and my boy. Then one day, when we're all finished, Bobby will get in that car and he'll drive away.
(Looking wistful)
Hank: And then I can die a happy man.
(Boomhauer and Bill mutter their agreements.)
Dale: That's...actually kind of sad, Hank.

Hank: It's false advertising! It's advertised as a junker, but it's in moderate-to-good condition.

(Presents Bobby with a beat-up car)
Hank: I didn't know if you were a Ford man or a Chevy man. It was the happiest problem I've ever faced.

Whenever I want to introduce someone to the show, I show them Three Coaches and a Bobby. Its just perfect. The characters are displayed well, the plot is fun, and its a great example of a famous guest star not being shoehorned in.

Also, that was the episode "I hear it has special effects!" which, as has pretty much been stated, is one of the best lines in the entire series.

Also, this episode ("Texas City Twister") was nominated for the 1998 Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming One Hour or Less). I will say that even though I agree that "Jumpin' Crack Bass" is a great episode, but this episode really showed the characters changing, especially Peggy who missed out on substituting for a German class because she thought "Nein" meant "Yes".
