King of the Hill

[Avaitor]

Season 13 will be released on October 20th- with a twist!

It makes sense that this season can score a Blu release, since the non-S12 leftovers were made in HD. When I get around to completing my collection, I might actually opt for Blu, since it's the same price either way.

I'll be sticking with DVD, but it's good to see the option being offered. I can't believe after so many years, KOTH will finally be completed on DVD.

Finally!

[Kiddington]

Yeah I'll probably stick with DVD as well for consistency's sake, but still cool either way.

It'll be so cool to finally have the whole thing. I feel like there's a lot of the later stuff I missed out on (Season 13, other than about 2-3 eps, sounds completely unknown to me), so this is a great to finally get caught up after all these years.

Man, "I'm With Cupid" isn't very good, is it? It was pointless for Bobby to miss Connie, when they ended on mutual terms in the previous episode, just as his dedication to getting her back became increasingly creepy.

Additionally, while Bill remained pathetic throughout the entire series, he was all but over Lenore by this point, so he also feels out of character. And Boomhauer isn't very likable here, either.

I don't think it's entirely worthless, though- there are some good lines and funny moments scattered around.

"I'm not supposed to talk to you, Mr. Dauterive. My mom gave me this whistle in case you start giving me advice."

"Well, I guess Boomhauer's secret isn't in housewares."
"And it's not in the portrait studio, although I did see a very ugly baby there."

But even with these, it's still not a particularly episode.

That is one of my least favorite episodes, for sure. It relies on character degradation to work and setting two characters back in a way that negates some really good episodes in the process. The only thing that could make it worse is if there was a Racist Dawg/Mrs. Wakefield style character beat down at the same time.

There are some good lines (almost all of them have good lines) but it is not one I ever go out of my way to watch. For a character-based show this episode makes too many mistakes.

"Bobby Hill, put that phone down! The school could be calling me in to sub at any moment. What if an algebra teacher died in a car accident? It would be a tragedy if they couldn't reach me."

I really do appreciate Peggy now, for better or for worse.

She's the best.

Pocket sand is one of the funniest moments in the show's history.

"Soldier of Misfortune" is one of the funniest KOTH episodes ever.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I'm alright. I fell in the hole again.

"It's not what it looks like! I was calling the police!" To paraphrase.

[Avaitor]

I also love how Dale just drives right into a car that's in his parking space, without apologizing or exchanging information.

Oh, and I'M TOO FAT!

[Daxdiv]

I refuse to believe this aired on TV in any way, shape or form.

[Avaitor]

That's almost as good as this.

I mentioned a while ago that I found seasons 5 and 6 for $2 each. So, I was about to watch an episode from season 5, and I noticed that I don't actually have the second disc for it- instead, I have disc 2 for season 2. I do still have the other discs, and all of the right ones for S6.

Damn. I'll have to keep an eye on eBay, since they get replacement discs sometimes. Blah.

Did you know that John K is a big Mike Judge fan?

Well, now you know.
