>>149037019The issue with old King of the Hill is that, because of the sliding timeline, a lot of character development ended up rolling backwards once characters reached a point where their development would otherwise be "Complete"
It was especially noticable with Luanne and Cotton.
Jumping forward 8 years gives enough of a fresh perspective that you could easy make 40-50 episodes of it. Especially when the heart and soul of the show was always Hank's relationship with Bobby at the end of the day, and now they can go to new places with it now that Bobby is an adult and his own man.
