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.

    That explains why the last couple of seasons were a little lackluster.

      Yeah. To really nail it, the last couple seasons would need to be the main characters becoming increasingly more alienated from their own labor, paralyzed within a machine that has grown around them and intwined with their organs, isolating each of them within their own departments. On paper, they have immense power, but no attempts at change or reform they make ever seem to really work. There’s a lot of potential for dark comedy there, but it’s depressing.
