too much bobby

Profile pic doesn’t check out 

I got about 3.5 in today before I got too busy with work but some really good moments so far. The first scene with bill, Peggy/hank in bed when Bobby pocket dials, and the whole episode about getting more charcoal cracked me up.

They’ve finally gotten rid of the ambiguity of where Arlen is located as well which is kinda funny to me. It makes a lot more sense with how east Texas a lot of the people actually are

As someone who grew up in a mid-small town in east Texas, it was never ambiguous.

That’s the beauty of this show though… even my hometown of 2,200 in the arklatex could’ve been Arlen. The one episode where they meet all the boomer sooner people should’ve definitely keyed everyone in to the fact that it was a Dallas burb though. I know Judge grew up in McKinney, but I always thought it was funny that every notable Texas landmark was only a hop skip and a jump from Arlen in the show

Wonder if he'll clear up where in Texas Beavis and Butthead are located.  Beavis seemed to really know a lot about Houston in one of the more recent episodes.

His voice must have changed as he got older or maybe health problems. Bc yeah, it’s def different. But he is listed in the episode 1 credits that just rolled for me 

The last season with Malory Archer was pretty obvious.

?  Mike Judge grew up in Albuquerque, and is ineligible to be President.

Overall, I really liked it.  

Some of the voices were jarring at first (Dale's OG actor + the change, especially in the rat episode), Khan and even Peggy sounded a whole lot older.

Did I miss no mention at all of Luann and Lucky? RIP to Murphy and Petty.  I only saw a photo on the wall, but that was it.  Obviously those 2 are too iconic to recast, but not even a mention of them?

Caught the first two last night and was also interested to see them confirm that Arlen is a Dallas suburb. I said above that I considered Arlen to be Allen and McMaynerbury to be McKinney. It lines up well with them being gone for a decade or so and Arlen is no longer a small town exurb but full metroplex suburb. I’m happy to see it back.

Mike Campbell sounds enough like Petty to pull off Lucky.

It’s great. It’s subversive enough and gets its points across without sounding specific or preachy. It’s good writing and funny with realistic aging of the characters and where they are now in life. Plus I mean, I can’t be the only one whose room suddenly became a little dusty at times

They did Hank dirty making him a Fox News watcher. Politics aside, Hank Hill is not a man who who see Tucker Carlson's stupid face and wonder what he has to say.

Disagree. This show first aired when Fox News was pretty mainstream and it was probably on every TV everywhere in suburban Texas. Hank is stubborn and probably stuck with it. What would he do, go watch OANN or Newsmax?

The way he didn’t fall for the Tate-esque con man shows me Hank hasn’t changed much as an old school Texas conservative.

Haven't seen anyone mention the new closing theme by Billy Strings. It's freaking great.

I think it's kind of funny that Hank is the only one that doesn't look like he's aged, because he looked to be in his 60's during the original run.

Isn't Hardwick doing Dale's voice in the first few episodes? It still sounds very different. Maybe because he was already sick? I'll be interested to see how it sounds later in the season when Huss takes over.

Yes, Hardwick is credited in the first 5 episodes and then Huss finishes it out. 

You really notice it in episode 6

Got a legit LOL when they mentioned Deadpool and Ted Lasso in Ep 5.

I only flipped to cnn during commercials.  Hank must not be hip to streaming in far away lands.

giving up a chance to convert an oil tanker to propane for his love for Texas.  
 

Peggy: can we give the new wife to Bobby?

peggy:  I’ve been considered a 5 all my life!
