with a different family dynamic maybe they've got some new ideas for it, but idk Hank was always like a liberal's conception of what a moderate conservative would be like if they actually existed and I feel like there's going to be some extremely cringe and out of touch commentary in this season as a result of the writers trying to square that circle with modern conservatives.

or maybe they'll knock it out of the park and conservatives will be frothing about how Hank went woke because the show perfectly dissects their worldview and shows them how pathetic they are.

if Bobby doesn't have some kind of LGBTAI+ arc, it's going to be really mid

The new season for x men 97 was pretty dang good, I thought

Oh, I'm looking forward to it. It'll be good for libs to be reminded that they can't call people slurs as they report their neighbors to ICE, because that would be uncivilized.

I will miss Dale. His VA died, and I'm not sure i can handle it without Dale.

Apparently a new Phineas and Ferb is also coming out, felt completely ancient when I found out that the first episode of that came out in 2007, 18 years ago...

The Beavis and Butthead reboot (both of them) were pretty good. Futurama was ok too, I still say "oh my yes, well that's where you're wrong!"

Mike Judge doesn't seem to have lost his way too much. Doesn't really do the "fuck cancel culture!" Thing. Still makes fun of chuds like he always has.

Can anyone name one show revived for streaming that wasn’t forgettable at best??

Like there’s clearly a difference in quality and outcome between a show brought back from cancelation (on streaming or otherwise) and a show log finished being yanked from the grave. Futurama had too many banger endings to be the former. I still have a modicum of hope for the new gumball episodes.

The last seasons of KOTH weren't that great plus Dale's VA passed away, so I don't have high hopes. At least they aged the characters, so they can't completely rely on nostalgia.

But now that I think about it, if Hank's retired, then wouldn't most episodes be about Bobby? There's only so much you can do with Hank, Bill, and Boomhauer since you can't use Dale, and Dale is the one who drives the plot in the latter seasons. Having Joseph and Connie be his coworkers would be completely contrived, so I guess the characterization of Bobby's coworkers would be what makes or breaks the new season?

Edit: I saw the new intro. I laughed when Bill got Covid, so I guess they haven't completely lost touch.

I try to keep in mind the old phrase "ain't nothin' so bad it ain't good for somethin'"

...OK I'm pretty sure that's just a Norwegian phrase that I calqued and then convinced myself was a thing people actually say. But the point is in any case that although I'm not expecting a new season of KOTH to be good television -- the new season of Futurama wasn't IMO -- making an animated TV show is still a collaborative, semi-chaotic and laborious effort between loads of people. The people working on this KOTH reboot, we can only hope, will take the skills they built and lessons they learned from it, and use them to make something better. For the rest of us, if we don't like it, we can just call it officially-licensed fanfiction, or some slop to beget more slop in the form of reviews and overly-long video essays.

I wanna see Hank sniffing propane like Saw huffing rhydo...

Hulu somehow ruined Futurama worse than comedy central, and with their weird bans on stuff like alcoholic imagery, this is going to be a massive disappointment.

The new Beavis and Buttheads seasons are fairly decent. Have actually never seen King of the Hill so no idea if this will be the same.

im excited regardless. koth is just such a great show even its lows are pretty good

No Gribble. No Lucky. No Luanne.

Ill watch it in a few years maybe.

The new season of Aqua Teen was pretty well received afaik.
