Buck Strickland is Hank's surrogate father, his feelings are transferred to propane.

It's depressingly easy to get an employee's loyalty just by even appearing to take an interest in their wellbeing, give them leeway when necessary and occasionally praise them for their work.

We know how susceptible Hank is to slick talking salesmen, because he thinks everyone is as honest as him. Buck is a good salesman, and I'm sure talked all about how propane was so much better than charcoal. I think Hank's enthusiasm for propane is his unquestioning trust in sales pitches. I was not allowed to tell my dying grandpa I bought a Ford car, cause it might've been too much for his failing body.

I think that also means Hank ends up a good salesman both by honestly believing what he says, and also actually being honest, patient and helpful, and otherwise professional.

Peggy - The floor is warm. Hank - That's the radiant sub floor heating. You know, 80% of a dog's heat loss is through its pads. Okay, that figure came from the radiant-floor people, so it may be a little high.

My wife threw me out of the house. I had Donna over and the old crow found us in flagrante on the credenza. It's all over...She said she could handle my drinking binges and my gambling and even turn a blind eye to my extramarital escapades but not when they happen all at once! And on her birthday!

Bread Zeppelin posted:Is Hank's fixation on propane meant to be a way to show that he is an incredibly bland person, or did the writers not understand Texas and its love of wood smoked bbq? After living in Texas, I don't see how Hank could have had any friends with how much he talks about "tasting the meat and not the heat." He would have been shunned like a pariah for wanting to "bbq" on propane. that's the joke hank is a texan and yet he proselytizes propane

I do a really solid Dale impression and even look like him. Wonder if I should hit up Mike Judge for a sweet job?

I’m in the middle of the final season of The Waltons. Prior to watching it, my only exposure to the show was that infamous George H W Bush quote about how Americans should be more like the Waltons instead of the Simpsons. Made me think the show would be cornball, which, it kinda is, but I saw a lot of The Simpsons with in the show, especially the early seasons where a stranger would come into town and the family would take them in, help them with their problems. Anyway. There’s a character named Corabeth who is extremely Peggy Hill coded. I see a lot of Corabeth in her DNA. I wonder if there’s any inspiration there.

Wait, I've got it. When you type in a search on this side, it's King of the Hill. But over here, it morphs into Family Guy. King of the Hill! Family Guy! King of the Hill! Family Guy!

The Orville is super good. It’s targeted at TNG era Trek fans. If you watched the first season and felt ehh about McFarlane brand humor, pop into the third season, which is a soft reboot. They mostly scrubbed out a lot of the McFarlane humor. It’s actual good sci-fi instead of a sci-fi themed action mystery puzzle box slop like Star Trek Discovery.
