Coming to Hulu - original voice cast - no premiere date but probably later this year.

Hell yeah!

Beavis and Butt-Head was pretty faithful. I'm cautiously optimistic for king of the hill.

 

[jshackles]

It says it'll be set in modern times, I wonder if they'll age the characters up to match? Beavis and Butthead had some episodes where they were still the same teenagers, and some episodes where they were middle aged. According to the Wiki - I guess that'd make Hank 70 now.

Didn't it already have a revival that failed?

[Rran]

Awesome show and with Judge + Daniels at the helm, it should turn out great.

Didn't it already have a revival that failed?

No, although they did think for a bit that the 11th season would be their last. The show was renewed for a 12th and 13th at the last minute so the 11th season finale was tweaked slightly to no longer be the series finale. But yeah, no revival for KotH until now, although Beavis & Butt-Head had a single season in 2011 before their recent revival (both were good).

Dale Gribble is going to have to pick up the pace in this. Reality has met or exceeded the content of his rants on the old show.

Reported: Hate Speech.

 

[Rran]

Thank goodness that's not happening. Apparently the show runner is Saladin Patterson, who had this to say about the project:

“Yeah, man I tell you whot man, that dang Ol’ Greg, talking about O.G. and then that Mike Judge … Inspirations, man … the original show, dang ol’ classic … Got my kids, man, walking around talking about ‘That’s my purse! I don’t know you!’ Feeling blessed, man, I tell you whot ‘Feel so Good’ is a great song, I don’t care what no-dang-body says …”

I think it's in good hands.

 

[E-Cat]

I tell you hwhat, that was a pleasant surprise.

 

[Ikutachi]

I don't want smartphones.

 

[Outlier]

I really don't want this. Could they at least age the character by a few years. I don't want to see the same characters, but in modern themes.

Ah whatever. I won't watch it, anyway.

Is 'new era' a new euphemism for 'modern audiences'?

 

[Rran]

That’s pretty nebulous. I think with Judge overseeing everything it should still be worthwhile.

 

[Ribi]

Welp it didn't even last 1 episode. Gg

Welp it didn't even last 1 episode. Gg

"Buaaahhhaaawwww! God dang it, what has the Twitter done to you?"

"Discord? Dang it Bobby, are you listening to rap again?"

"Dang it, Dale, we gotta get Arlington City Hall before those gotdang antifa take the statue of Charles Lee enjoying a steak down!"


So much (probably) wasted potential.

 

[YCoCg]

Wouldn't come close to this anyway

 

[Blade2.0]

So did Dale's va do recordings already before he died?

 

[Ecotic]

It seems all the Simpsons-clones or spiritual successors have been cancelled and revived at some time or another. Family Guy, Futurama, King of the Hill, and I'm probably missing a few.

 

[CGNoire]

..and......its over.

 

[Drew1440]

It's just gonna be endless dick jokes and twerking Peggy.

Rebooted for a modern audience….these fucking talentless hacks destroy EVERYTHING they touch.

 

[Smiggs]

Rebooted for a modern audience….these fucking talentless hacks destroy EVERYTHING they touch.

Or maybe it's just set in the present, instead of being set in the mid 2000's? Come on, we don't know anything about the show yet. Let's at least wait and see what they make before we get all outraged over nothing, sheesh.

Wasn't really in to be honest, just like with X-men 97' I don't really want revival of series, so I was never going to watch this. But hearing this, I'm glad I'm bowing out.

There's a certain irony that a show about a man working through modern times he doesn't fit in yet overcoming his ignorance is going to be taken over by a bunch of morons who choose to remain that way.

 

[Audiophile]

Pamela Adlon's unfortunately gone off the deep end.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Why?…this is possibly the worst commercial animated series that ever existed.

 

[TronNerd82]

Why?…this is possibly the worst commercial animated series that ever existed.

Now now, you'd be thinking of Family Guy, closely followed by Rick and Morty. King of the Hill's perfectly fine, but kinda mid in the later seasons.

Rick and Morty for sure…but why did you drag Family Guy into this?
