W00t!
Will they re-cast Mrs. Drummond? by Flim Springfield	Nov 3rd, 2008 07:14:02 PM

FUCK YEAH! ABC... DO SOMETHING RIGHT! by LordEnigma	Nov 3rd, 2008 07:14:23 PM
King of the Hill has a lot of stories left to tell. Why not pick it up for the 09/10 season? Seems logical to me, and it does not suck like Scrubs. HIYOOOO!!!
Why...when was this last funny or even good? by j2talk	Nov 3rd, 2008 07:16:53 PM

Wow by Hamtaro Hentai	Nov 3rd, 2008 07:21:33 PM
I wonder how KOTH will fare on a real network.
Damn it Bobby by DeSandman	Nov 3rd, 2008 07:22:44 PM
Damn it Bobby, I told you it was important to know your ABC's. Even though I haven't watched any new episodes in a long while, I think that it is a smart move on ABC's part to get this done.
It's a reverse Critic! by sonofbronson	Nov 3rd, 2008 07:32:31 PM
That started on ABC and was picked up by Fox.
KotH is better than anything on ABC except "Lost" by catlettuce4	Nov 3rd, 2008 07:59:47 PM
They'd be lucky to have it.
Watched last night for the first time in years by bah	Nov 3rd, 2008 08:00:59 PM
It's one of those shows I don't care about most of the time, but I'll watch an episode an love it if I happen to catch it. And I like knowing it's still out there, though I don't like how Dale has changed.
Peggy Hill to be on next Dancing with the Stars! by Flim Springfield	Nov 3rd, 2008 08:07:20 PM

fuck this by the milf lover	Nov 3rd, 2008 08:12:44 PM
they need to bring back God, The Devil And Bob instead!
Why the hell does AICN have a Yes on 8 ad??? by Rev. Slappy	Nov 3rd, 2008 08:12:53 PM
AICN is pretty liberal site, why an ad for that crap?
Rev. Slappy by BadMrWonka	Nov 3rd, 2008 08:16:43 PM
that's an ad for Hellboy 2 on DVD...it just looks like the rabid hateful christians from the Yes on Prop 8 ads...
9 months to air? by Bouncy X	Nov 3rd, 2008 08:34:21 PM
not to knock the show but how can it take 9 months when simpsons does it in 6 or less? i mean king of the hill is pretty simple animation compared to simpsons.
OH NOOOO! by studmaster	Nov 3rd, 2008 09:11:11 PM
Goddammit, this limp dick has been on life support for fuckin years! LET IT DIE ALREADY!!!
Last animated by Don Lockwood	Nov 3rd, 2008 09:18:52 PM
The last animated primetime series on ABC was Clerks, wasn't it?
does Clerks even count as a series? by the milf lover	Nov 3rd, 2008 10:23:45 PM
ABC almost canned it before it even aired! Anyone watched the dvds of it? The commentaries are funnier and more interesting than the cartoon. They talk about a lot of behind the scene stuff, Kevin Smith keeps bitching at everybody at ABC and Disney, and at Family Guy too because they were still on the air and not Clerks.
Something had to replace "According to Jim" by br1947	Nov 3rd, 2008 10:38:18 PM
same amount of comedy, 0.
like they're gonna cancel According To Jim by the milf lover	Nov 3rd, 2008 10:45:53 PM
but we can all dream....
The show has run for THIRTEEN SEASONS by Nasty In The Pasty	Nov 3rd, 2008 11:04:43 PM
It's not like there are so many unanswered questions. It was a fine show, but honestly...let it go.
Wow, this really makes me smile... by DanielKurland	Nov 4th, 2008 01:12:06 AM
It's great when people actually treat this show with the respect it deserves. I'm glad someone wants it.
It was an underrated show, but... by rbatty024	Nov 4th, 2008 06:37:37 AM
thirteen seasons is a good run. They should all pop open a bottle of champaigne and pat themselves on the back for a job well done, and then thank the gods they didn't end up like The Simpsons.
What show soon to be cancelled will ABC pick up next? by indyjonez100	Nov 4th, 2008 07:18:33 AM
I have a few suggestions: 1. JOURNEYMAN! (Not going to happen but a wish none the less) 2. Automan anyone (didn't that run on ABC originally?) 3. Drive 4. (insert show here)
That brought a smile to my face... by Angelus Rex	Nov 4th, 2008 07:50:13 AM
King of the Hill is one of those underappreciated gems that gets little press until FOX decides to pull its plug after 13 years. I applaud ABC if they decide to pick up this show.
Didn't ABC have Fish Police by skimn	Nov 4th, 2008 08:15:11 AM
back in the day when The Simpsons were the rage, and networks said "Cartoons are a hit! Put something on the schedule!" Silly, silly networks. Maybe Fox can pick up Pushing Daisies. Oh right, they'd cancel it after one airing.
I'll watch it, but let it go with dignity by _Maltheus_	Nov 4th, 2008 10:44:25 AM
I guess I'm glad I'll still have it to watch but some shows need to learn to accept their own mortality.
What network had the animated Clerks... by Kid Z	Nov 4th, 2008 02:35:59 PM
... for about 5 minutes of one episode before cancelling it? Wasn't it ABC?
if king of the hill gets picked up by Timahh	Nov 4th, 2008 04:33:07 PM
and Arrested Development couldn't find a home.......we need change now more thanever. Tobias Funke '08
Meanwhile, NBC will pick up another option... by thegreatwhatzit	Nov 4th, 2008 05:00:41 PM
Probably a revival of MY MOTHER, THE CAR. Every series on the network (including the overhyped 30 ROCK) is six feet under. Hype notwithstanding, 30 ROCK is still third in its time period. Guess the public hasn't much affection for an abusive father and an egocentric ice princess.
Yes, yes, yes! by JackPumpkinhead	Nov 4th, 2008 05:13:21 PM
Make it so! If "King of the Hill" is saved, so is the Western animation. (Well, executing Seth MacFarlane would help, too.)
FOX by thedarklinglord	Nov 5th, 2008 01:44:06 AM
If you want a potentially great movie fucked up, or you need a television show that's actually worth watching cancelled, or you want severely biased (and utter bullshit) media coverage, FOX is definitely your go-to guy.
KOTH always puzzled me by ArcadianDS	Nov 5th, 2008 12:39:49 PM
One week its a silly comedy about a bunch of texas hillibillys, and the next week, Hank's boss is trying to cover up the discovery of his dead hooker in the dumpster of his wife's restaurant. what the hell??!
Does anyone else think KotH is RETARDED? by Xian042	Nov 5th, 2008 02:41:01 PM
I feel like my life slows to crawl every time that show is on. Im sorry, I just don't see the humor. Daria sucked even more.
