Mike Judge was like libertarian or at least adjacent back when he made KotH, Office Space, and Idiocracy. He's just going to be a big ol :pit: now, isn't he?
Will be awful if they make Dale a Q guy. Dude would never go in for something believed by that many people.
Bill will be suckered into QAnon while Dale stumbles on everyone in QAnon being FBI but can't get anyone to believe him.
But completely by accident. He complains that these Q idiots are intercepting his messages that were never meant for them, and worse yet, misinterpreting them! JFK Jr is DEAD! He had to be silenced because he knew the truth about Roswell! It wasn't visitors from another planet, it was visitors from another dimension! The FBI could never allow Soviet American UFOs to infiltrate!
Dale browses /pol/ but never says anything racist and also accidentally left "Q" in the name field
Itd be funnier if Dale never was at Jan 6th but implies that he was
He wasn't. He's not the type to fall for a con job clearly set up by the Machine. All those idiots out there showing their faces on camera, letting their brains be fully 3d scanned by the Congressional wi-fi? Couldn't be him. Couldn't be Rusty Shackleford.
I heard that was the plan, but I don't know how accurate that is.
Was the Beavis and Butthead revival good when it happened?
I was actually surprised by it and enjoyed it. It's the same thing as the old stuff. If you enjoyed the original stuff there should be no reason you can't enjoy the new stuff. The music bits are all newer music but some of them had me rolling even tho I didn't really care for the songs themselves.
It's biggest draw was when they would riff on music videos like Mystery Science Theater did with films.
Has there been any shows which got revived a decade or two later that haven't been shit?
I've never watched Twin Peaks, Star Trek is kind of a mixed bag but I have enjoyed most of the newer entries.
Twin Peaks is dope. As far as Trek it's been revived 3 times by now.
David Lynch (1990): I have both invented prestige television and made the perfect season.
David Lynch (2017): You know I had to do it to 'em one more time.
Actual hero. Not only is the art good, even with the subject matters he deals with pretty explicitly he has never made an actor uncomfortable.
Orville has done better than every (live action) Star Trek in the last twenty years.
I enjoyed the Comedy Central Futurama run. Not sure if thats a hot take here or not :fry:
It wasn't as good as the first run, had some.major stinkers but also had some really really good episodes and the finale might be the best of any show.
I think its biggest problems were that it tried to riff on current news stories more than the original (though the original also did that a bit) and due to the delay between writing and a live release it's already dated by the time it airs, and that it stopped doing the obsessive continuity stuff that the original did where they'd keep track of different points to make sure they didn't contradict themselves with the characters or worldbuilding. It did have its moments though, I'll give it that. The eyePhone episode was gross and bad though, probably the worst episode of those seasons: it was trying to be topical, it invented a new bad character just to riff on, it broke established character traits, its entire plotline was a cliche that had been done countless times already (I'm not sure how "don't sell out your friends to become a shock-content rising star" is a story that gets repeated that often, and can only assume it's something hollywood writers feel like they need to tell people? It's such a weird niche thing to turn into a moral fable over and over), and it was gross in general.
The movies in between the original run and the comedy central seasons were probably the best the show got in terms of general quality imo.
Replied to someone else about it, it's overall weaker than the original run and there's a few shitty ones, but when it hits its up to par eith the best and the finale is worth watching at the least. They did my favorite series finale ever.
Check it out. I really like the time machine episode. It was really fulfilling for it to be revived too. I was upset when Fox canceled it so it felt like a win to see more seasons.
not if its still run by Mike Judge, every thing that guy does is pure gold.
Damn Brittany was young
Murphy died as a result of pneumonia combined with anemia and "multiple drug intoxication" from prescription and over-the-counter medication
damn, got killed by too much medicine while sick rip
Her husband died of pneumonia in the house months later didn't he? Did the mom kill him too.
Her death was the reason the show ended abruptly after it was picked up for another season by adult swim years ago
I liked Twin Peaks: The Return because the climax involved a guy who wanted to retread old ground even though everyone else had long since moved on (including the dead chick) fucking things up horribly and irreversably
Twin Peaks was always just a meta-commentary on what TV shows were doing.
A real kaleidoscope of a show. One series, fifty ways it can be interpreted. One of the big pieces of lasting appeal imo
It's going to suck.
The world has moved on past KOTH's late 90s vibe. Four white males in racist Texas? Not going to work as main characters. And no, Kahn isn't going to work either. Diversity, inclusion and equity. KOTH has no future as televised entertainment.
Yeah, I love the show, but where we are 20 years later is just wayyyy too different
From what I heard it's doing a 20 year time skip so Bobby's almost the age Hank was in the original, Hank's an old man, etc so who knows where they'd actually go with it.
Never ever really understood King of the Hill, is it maybe because I'm a Simpsons guy (old seasons)? I dunno, maybe because the jokes are too oriented for gringos and not for the latin american market, I actually don't know anybody here in Argentina who enjoyed King of the Hill.
I didn't get King of the Hill at first. Then i lived in Texas for a while and totally got it. I'm not sure hiw it makes sense ro anyone outside of Texas honestly
Sometimes things that are hyper specific to a place still end out super big. I'm still shocked that trailer park boys got bigger than a local thing. I can see liking it in general, but if you're from there it's a whole different angle cause you know EXACTLY what neighborhood location shoots are in and stuff.
king of the hill is kinda about a specific period of suburban conservatism from the 90s so i'm not surprised it doesn't necessarily translate well
