Plot from Fox.com:
PEGGY SIZES UP ARLEN’S LARGEST REAL ESTATE COMPANY
ON AN ALL-NEW “KING OF THE HILL”
SUNDAY, APRIL 22, ON FOX - NOW SEEN AT THIS EARLIER TIME

Chris Elliot Makes Guest Voice Appearance

When Peggy takes Connie on as her protégé, Connie’s journalistic attitude pushes Peggy to change her writing style. Needless to say, she loses her job at The Arlen Bystander, but quickly rebounds with a job in real estate under the infamous Chris Sizemore (Chris Elliot), the brains behind Arlen’s largest real estate office. Her new job is at first exciting, but when she challenges the big boss and gets fired, Peggy decides to strike out on their own in the ”Glen Peggy Glen Ross” episode of KING OF THE HILL Sunday, April 22 (7:30-8:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (KH-1106) (TV-PG) CC I love the title.

Wow, nobody replied yet? Well, I thought it was a good episode. I was worried that the plot would be similar to "Realty Bites" from The Simpsons but luckily they took things in different directions, like Peggy's talents not being put to good use at the realty company.

It also had quite a few funny moments:
-Peggy's description of why realtors are the most important jobs on Earth.
-Peggy: "You know the feeling you get when you sell a propane grill to a customer?" (Hank smiles fondly)
-Connie lamenting that she'll have to go to DeVry.
-Peggy's champagne glass bottom breaking off when she lifted it. It was a small gag and multitasking viewers probably wouldn't notice, but it was great.
-Chris's "self-motivational" sayings.

The subplot with Hank's clubs being bought from a police auction didn't accomplish much (which is common for KOTH subplots) but it was funny, what with Hank's squeamish demeanor when using them. "Can anyone else use them? I need to feel guilt free for a hole."

I was more worried about Peggy switching jobs as often as Marge (or Peter Griffin) does. I guess it opens her plots for more story possibilities.

Pretty good episode all around. I think Connie has the funniest facial expressions, and I liked when Peggy said she adopted her. That and the "King me" stuff was funny.



-Connie lamenting that she'll have to go to DeVry.

Or University of Phoenix Academy or whatever that place was called...that was great.

King of the Hill has really been making some improvements this season. After the season opener, it feels like the writers finally found their middle ground with Peggy's character. So far, there hasn't been any problems with her being the evil lunatic we've seen these past few years.

It was also great that they did something with Connie again, one of the show's better characters. One of the many problems I had with the show in the past two years is how they've severely ignored or under-utilized the lot of their secondary characters, which made many episodes so boring, because they also refused to do anything new with their main characters.

I didn't care that much for the sub-plot, except it gave Hank, Dale, Boomhauer, and Bill something to do, which is more preferable than seeing Hank get victimized by a media-influenced jerk.

Plus, Chris Eliot's guest appearance was put to much better use than Season 8's "After the Mold Rush".

Yes, I wanted another Connie episode badly. If I were working for KOTH I'd write a Connie script first; I think there's a lot more to do with her than what has been done. She may be the smartest person in Texas, let alone Arlen.

I think you mean Homer, Not Marge
