Kings of the Hill, Again: Greg Daniels, Mike Judge Discuss Their New Animation Company (Exclusive)
www.hollywoodreporter.com
Their company, Bandera, will exec produce ‘Bad Crimes,’ a comedy starring Nicole Byer and Lauren Lapkus, as its second show, with others — including a children’s show from Sacha Baron Cohen and Alison Bechdel’s ‘Dykes to Watch Out For’ — also in the works.

Mike Judge and Greg Daniels will be doing it, but I still don’t know how I feel about it. It’s one of my, if not my favorite show. I guess them being in charge gives me some reassurance that it’s not going to be complete trash. Sorry if this is the wrong comm, I wasn’t sure where to post this.

    Very well put. I think no matter how they do new episodes, it’s going to be a stain on the series. They were truly characters of a different era. I don’t really want to see where they are at today. I don’t see them doing any political commentary that isn’t cringe. I mean they could attempt to skirt politics and just to sitcom style satire, but I don’t think that would feel true to the series. There was always at least an underlying political line in the show. There’s definitely lots of episodes that weren’t. But it was always an aspect. I’m just not very convinced that this will be good. Even with the original creators behind it. But I am hopeful because it’s like, maybe my favorite show ever.
