The cartoon characters of KOtH seemed more real than most of the one-dimensional, (if flesh-and-blood), SitCom characters. It really did walk a fine line in sympathetically flawed characters, without being overly preachy or stereotyped.

Saying that, I would also say that Bobby was among my LEAST favorite characters, followed closely by Cotton and Luane.

KOtH is far and away my favorite cartoon. I found the show especially charming because of the relatability oh the characters. I'm not crazy about the first couple of seasons, when the stereotypical accept was way over the top, but once it was toned down, I began to truly enjoy the show. It was always funny to me how proud Peggy was of her work as a substitute teacher and how much Hank enjoyed selling, using, and discussing propane. All of the characters contributed to the show in various ways. However, the show definitely took a turn for the worst with the introduction of Lucky and Lue Ann's pregnancy. It totally ruined her CCILF persona. All in all, it was a solid series that I will sorely miss.

Are you ******* kidding me? Take Mike's cock out of your mouth.Mike Judge hasn't done anything worthy of even mentioning since Beavis and Butthead.King of the Hill makes me want to anally rape his wife and set her on fire right in front of him.He doesn't even approach mediocrity for **** sake.King of the Hill is so ******* terrible I get the irrational urge to punch my TV.No wonder TV and movies are utter ****.With ******* monkeys like you watching these shows I'm gonna have to start watching PBS for **** sake.

Boomhauer's badge definitely said "Ranger". I haven't watched KoTH in a while so I could only guess at the significance of that pan over to his wallet.

I googled around and saw some folks at tv.com forums observing that his driver's license also said "Texas Dept. of Public Safety", and that his original backstory had been that he was "on disability from the Texas Rangers, probably due to being injured in the line of duty, and that is why he never appeared to have a job, nor felt the need to work."

I'm glad they included a Chuck Mangione appeareance.

Boomhauer could have been a Texas Ranger. I know that in the episode where the guys have a focus group about the new lawnmower Boomhauer says he's getting disability.

I really, really love this show. At least Futurama is coming back....that softens the blow a bit.

I will say, however, that the show went a little bit south introducing Lucky and killing off Cotton, arguably the funniest character.

Did we know Boomhauer was a Texas Ranger before the finale?

What's funny about the pointing monkey is that it is not in any way the same joke every time. We see a new side of the monkey every time he appears.

That said, there is no either/or here. Both shows are good in very different ways. If you only like one of them, your sense of humor is incomplete.

What a great series finale. I remember when Seinfeld went off the air, which turned out to be a huge let down. I agree that father and son tension was one of the driving forces of that show, and the way that Mike Judge brought it to a conclusion was spectacular. Nothing too obnoxious, but for true fans it was a gratifying experience. I will truly miss this show. I can't believe they canceled it for an opportunistic, desperate spin-off series like "The Cleveland Show." Hopefully, The Cleveland Show will get worse ratings than a PBS phonathon during the super bowl.

I saw the last episode but missed the previous one. It was a good way to end. I used to watch it a lot more, but over the past few years I only have watched an episode here or there. I was wondering if I had just missed a fact somewhere about Boomhauer being a cop / Texas Ranger.

I hope now they will finally release the remaining seasons on DVD. They last released Season 6 in 2006 and stopped after that. That leaves 7 seasons that are not released. I need to watch all of the ones I have missed.
