King of the Hill "Orange You Sad I Did Say Banana?" Talkback (12/11)

[Peter Paltridge]

Yes, another new and un-noticed KOTH episode.

Kahn is accused of having become so assimilated that he's a "banana" -- the Asian equivalent of an "Oreo." To get back to his Laotian heritage, Kahn adopts a simple lifestyle and abandons the swimming pool his neighbors helped build.

"Banana"? Hah! I love it....it makes those stupid racial slurs sound as bad as they are.

Great episode, but I'm beginning to wonder about Connie....why does she just stand there and give in to every crazy notion Kahn forces his family to endure? Even Minh can't take it forever.

Kahn is no longer going to be shamelessly kissing up to the Usanasongs? This really is the last season.....

Another hole-in-one by King of the Hill! I can honestly say this show has never jumped the shark in its nine (?) years of being on TV! Definitely going to miss it when it ends this year, but hey, it's in syndication on almost every channel, so it's not like it's going to be gone. And there's always the chance they'll make a special a few years down the road to update us on the Hills' and their friends' lives.

Anyways, I can totally relate to Kahn in this episode. I don't remember how many times I've been called an Oreo or a devil cake.

Funny how this show has been so good for so long yet always goes unnoticed. I too will miss it after it ends this season. But hey it had a long run which is more then most adult animated shows can say. It's second only to the Simpsons.

Thanks a damn lot, FOX. I missed it, due to zero advertisement... though, at this stage, it should be expected from them.

Wow, and Drawn Together just did an episode where Ling Ling was accused of being a twinkie. Sheesh.

Thanks to football, I only managed to see the last two minutes, although I probably shouldn't have watched any of it. Why did Kahn have a black eye? What was the deal with Bobby saving Bill from choking? AAAAAARGH! Show pre-emptions SUCK!

[Treadwell]

Friggin' FOX. Ball game ran long, as usual, so on the East coast they joined the show in progress at SEVEN FIFTY THREE.

What's the friggin' point with about 4 minutes of show left?

Usually networks, when they're going over, will fill to the 15-minute mark, which means you never are left with less than half a show. Not this time. They might as well have let the sports commentators blab for a few more minutes rather than pretend they were giving KOTH fans any semblance of programming worth.

I'ver never actually heard of an Oreo before, but wouldn't a golden oreo work for an Asian who's white on the inside? Then again, I suppose Golden Oreos aren't really yellow, they're more of a light brown.
