And the episode with Randy Travis. I remember the ads were "SUPER STARS OF COUNTRY KING OF THE HILL TONIGHT!" when it was on.

But there were 2 episodes with the superstars of country music. One was where they played themselves, and the other was when they played truckers in the episode where Hank drove the semi from Arlen to Arizona.

Also, Chuck Mangione and Kid Rock.

The best episode is Won't You Pimai Neighbor? where Bobby is the reincarnated Lama Sanglug. I really like the fact that there is so much internal conflict and everyone deals with it in their own ways.

The worst Bill moment is when he eats Ladybird's hormone biscuits. I have no idea what they would taste like, but the thought just makes me sick.

There were 5 Dauterive cousins - Bill, Gilbert, Violetta and 2 that died - Rene and Girac (one was married to Rose and one was married to Lily). Bill slept with both Rose and Lily, although all 3 tried to seduce him (they wanted a male heir to inherit the vast Dauterive fortune).

I'm laughing just thinking about that episode. While there aren't episodes I can say are outright "bad", there are a few awkward/weird episodes. Like the one where Luanne gets that new gig with the pig... thing. I forget what really happens, but it's where she works for a psycho who dresses her up and tries to get her to marry this guy. In the end the psycho dies a pretty brutal death.

He was sausificated.

That doggy dancing episode is funnier when you look at stuff like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqbVbPvlDoM

I don't think they've ever aired the one episode I'm sure I've never seen. The one where the REAL Rusty Shackleford shows up.

As someone who would know, it's Shackelford.

EDIT: I know IMDB says Shackleford, but on the plaque that Dale had for Dale's Dead Bug Employee of the Year, Rusty Shackelford was listed for 1997.

I'm partial to Shackleford, and I'm quite certain it's spelled as such in a closeup on the employee of the year plaque in one of my favorite episodes (The Exterminator). I won't deny the fact it could reappear again later with the alternate spelling, but that absolutely precludes it from being the de facto "correct" spelling.

Considering this show had Luann live at both Shady Pines and Shiny Pines trailer park, I guess there is no definitive spelling for Rusty's last name.

I think the obvious answer is that Dale uses both variations of the spelling to establish two completely distinct identities for "Rusty".

Nah. Dale has a copy of Rusty's birth certificate so he knows how it is spelled.

I saw this episode yesterday, and it confused me. How could Bill have the touchdown record? Didn't he play center?

He played Fullback and was brought in on mostly goal line plays, although he did have some longer runs.

"Cuffs and Collars, the tape I never rented. Sixty-eight minutes into the film, actress Dee Dee Cupp bends over to shoe her horse. Now, if you pause the tape and look closely, you can just make out a tattoo on Dee Dee's left buttock that says "I heart Charlie Sheen." Mrs. Cupp also makes an uncredited cameo in Jail Bait, a tape which marks veteran porn star Fernanda Valli's return to the adult film industry on the occasion of her eighteenth birthday. At the seventy minute mark, Dee Dee bends over to shoe a donkey. What do we see on her left buttock? Nothing! There is no tattoo! This can only mean that Jail Bait was made before Cuffs and Collars. Now, why is this important? Because Fernanda Valli turned eighteen on July fifth, two weeks after I supposedly rented Cuffs and Collars! Is it possible that I walked into Arlen Video on June twenty-third and rented a movie that didn't even exist? I think not!"

This speech is one of the more confusing things on the show. Who is turning 18? If it is Fernanda, how was she a veteran of porn at 17?

The other confusing part is in "The Father, the Son and J.C." Niefko is the guy's first name, not his last, but Hank says that the tradition is Christmas with the Niefkos.

How can you guys miss such an obvious joke?

The Fernanda Valley returned to pornography on her 18th birthday. The joke is that she was making very illegal pornography before that birthday.

But after the Traci Lords case, that would never happen. At least not with the type of porn that one would find at a video store.

So I'm thinking about going as Peggy Hill for Halloween this year. How do I keep it from looking like Sarah Palin?

I'm definitely drawing inspiration from that sweet Peggy arm tattoo. Hoo-yeah!

Sarah Palin wears professional looking business suits with a skirt. Peggy Hill wears shorts and a t-shirt.

The best Gribble rap up would have been for Joseph to turn out to actually be Dale's son, his appearance explained by Dale having a Cherokee grandfather that he never talks about.

I just like it when Dale's ignorance and naivety is rewarded.

How do you explain Kate then?

Yup, in an earlier episode explaining why Joseph was dark skinned, I believe the episode where Peggy finally figures it out and almost tells him

I thought the Jamaican grandmother story was a cover that Peggy never really saw through until that episode.

Also I had no idea Thatherton was played by Burt Reynolds. That seems like something I should've noticed a long time ago.


EDIT: Or that Reverend Stroop was played by Mary Tyler Moore.

To be fair, Thaterton and Stroup were only voiced by those two in one episode.

I was thinking back to what made me stop watching the show when I was a kid, and I've narrowed it down to one episode: Dances With Dogs, where hank and bobby do the doggy dancing poo poo. That episode is just creepy, and as much as I love the show now, I can't blame myself for hating the series after seeing that.

Let's say Brittany Murphy passed away during Season 11 or 12. How do you think/how would you have liked Mike Judge & Co. to handle it in terms of Luanne's character?

I would suggest the Phil Hartman/Simpsons route, but Luanne was too important of a character for this to really work.

Luanne and Lucky moved away to be closer to Lucky's grandma in Oklahoma.

What is that Christmas with the Nievcoes quote from? I can hear Hank's inflections perfectly, but I have no idea what the context of it is.

Buck is forced to do community service and does Habitat for Humanity. Hank gets to go and do the work in Buck's place and they are building a house with and for a couple who is introduced with the man's name as Niefco (Nievco?). After Cotton freaks out at Hank, the Hills force themselves on this couple and have dinner at their new house. Hank says that they have a new Christmas tradition - Christmas with the Niefcos. Which is a point of contention because now it is implied that the couple's last name is Niefco.
