This community is moving to adultswim.fan! The adultswim.fan server is an instance for Adult Swim programming, past and present, and many things animation. Come join us to share and talk about all things King of the Hill, including the launch of the Season 14 revival!

::: spoiler Wanna know more?

So why the move...

There are a few reasons, actually.

1. Adult Swim was pivotal in keeping King of the Hill on the air after Fox canceled it. Many people watched the remaining four episodes--which were aired after the intended original series finale, "To Sirloin With Love"--on Adult Swim. Some viewers were even exposed to the Hills and the rest of the Rainey Street alley crew for the first time through Adult Swim. It's a place of refuge for many beloved animated series and a natural choice as the series enters its revival.
2. The tone of the adultswim.fan instance fits with the KotH community. Adult Swim is usually regarded as a little bit subversive, and its programming is animation-forward.
3. The community on adultswim.fan is more active. You'll probably find posts on a daily basis over there. It's the same dang ol' fun content, just a new home.

See you real soon!

Original question by @[email protected]

At the end of the original series, Ladybird was 13 years old—beyond the average life expectancy of a Georgia Bloodhound already. We don't see Ladybird in the revival opener. It's safe to assume she'll be long gone.

Do you think Hank and Peggy will adopt a new dog in the revival?

Toby Huss has been cast as the new voice actor for the character of Dale Gribble.

Huss voiced Kahn Souphanousinphone and Cotton Hill, as well as other characters, in over 160 episodes.

Huss voicing Kahn today (to say nothing of back in 2010) would almost certainly be problematic. And with Cotton having died in the original series, eliminating any of Huss's well known recurring characters, choosing him to stand in for Johnny Hardwick feels fitting. I think removing Dale entirely would have left a big gap in the alley, and this feels respectful enough.

Was anyone hoping they would have found a way to write Dale Gribble out of the show instead?

Oh no, she finally found a doctor who would "smash them with a hammer and make them a size 6" lmao 🤣
