King of the Hill

[Spark Of Spirit]

Season 7 as a whole is a step down from season 6 and not as good as season 8.

There are too many "wacky situations" instead of plots.

[Kiddington]

I don't mind the "wacky situations" just as long as they're funny. See; Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer's flying chair in "The Miseducation of Bobby Hill".

This one, though... this was just weird. Hank's mancrush on Bill during the flashback sequences was just way too out of character, and the plot itself really didn't do it for me. It's a pretty weak episode as a whole.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Yeah, that's what I mean. The plot seems constructed for the sole purpose of those sorts of jokes instead of any real conflict. At least the flying chair was a sub-plot and not the main story.

But yeah, I agree that the episode isn't all too great, but I think the same for most of season 7. It's kind of shaky.

Really worth checking out.

#10 made me laugh (#16 even funnier) and it shows just how serious the staff was with the show.

But that's cool to see, it help explains why the direction was so good.

I love seeing tools like this guideline being used and implemented into the show. I will admit that I never realized half of this stuff, but the stuff that I did recognize holds true. Kind of makes me wonder what other guidelines other shows have for the animation team.

Reading the list again, one rule I can see that they became more lenient on as the show went along was #6. Bobby started becoming increasingly giddy and energetic the longer the show went on, so the earlier, deadpan Bobby started becoming a little out-of date.

Of course #23 has been broken a couple of times, as well.

Blank-faced Bobby also started becoming very one-note after a few seasons. Once he got a proper dynamic with Joseph it became entirely useless.

"I like Jeff Gordon. He's handsome. "
"Uh, heh, Bobby, you keep saying things like that and people are gonna think you're not right."

The haircut episode. So much win every time.

"I can't do that! I don't have my stapler!"

"...and how the hell would you know I'm not a good barber?! ...I'm sorry Hank, but when I come here and see a phonebook in front of you it's like you're calling me AN IDIOT!!!"

"Who here knows how to cut hair?"
"Don't answer. It's a trap."

"You eliminated Bill! Billiminator!"

Definitely one of my favorite episodes.

"Well it was on TV. You didn't hear about the highspeed chase?"

This should become a thing.

"Why does everything I love run away from me?"
"Because you have to pet everything like an idiot!"
