I've always liked King of the Hill. 'Liked' in the sense that, if it was on, I'd watch it. I wouldn't schedule my night around it, I'm not even sure I knew when it came on regularly. I just found it mildly entertaining, that's all. It didn't come close to my love of Lost, The Office, and Family Guy. Actually, for awhile there, all TV shows were referred to as either 'Lost' or 'Not Lost.' That is to say, if it wasn't Lost, it didn't matter. And that still holds true for any serious TV drama currently running.However, something happened the other night while watching King of the Hill... I freakin loved it. I found it hilarious, I laughed really hard, like Family Guy hard. I started DVRing future showings and making a trip to Plato's Closet to see if they had any used copies of KOTH on DVD (oh married life...). It's still the same show, I just enjoy it more. Anyway, check it out. And if I didn't convince you, here are some quotes of Hank Hill that might:
Bobby, if you weren't my son I'd hug ya.
You, uh, you're my son, you know, with everything that entails... feelings of fondness and more... You know what I mean, don’t you, boy?
If Bobby doesn't love football, he won't lead a fulfilling life, and then he'll die.
If you'd like to learn more about sexual education, don't! Nobody likes a know-it-all who sits around talking about their genitalia. Now, I think you might like this next show, The X-Files. I always thought it was some kind of porno, on account of the title, but turns out it's all about two young people who don't have sex. Now, that's entertainment!
GAY! I'm not gay! I sell propane and propane accessories!
You can't just pick and choose which laws to follow. Sure I'd like to tape a baseball game without the express written consent of major league baseball, but that's just not the way it works.
(As Ted Wassanasong hands Hank a cigar)Don't mind if I -- oh, you probably didn't realize this, but this is Cuban. I'll just go ahead and destroy it for you.
I can't enjoy a party until I know where the bathroom is. You knew that when you married me.
(on finding Bobby in his room holding a cheerleader's uniform)There better be a naked cheerleader under your bed.

you made me want to watch this show badly...thanks dude! I actually laughed out loud at some of these lines. Like: "If you weren't my son I'd give you a hug" baaaahahahahaha
My girlfriend and I do King of the Hill voices pretty regularly. I do a pretty good Bobby, and believe it or not, she's got a killer Hank.
Also, that show has an awesome theme song. It was one of the songs I learned on guitar during my early years of learning to play.
