Broadcast Order: Season 13, Episode 4
Production Order: Season 12, Episode 14

A new episode airs tonight at 8:30 PM Eastern. Here is the synopsis:


To boost business, Strickland Propane creates a MySpace page despite Hank's bad feelings about the idea.

[Bloody Marquis]

Well, this is already off to a good start.

[Kazuya Prower]

This shows how bad MySpace can be.

[tb4000]

"I love Myspace, but I would never go on as myself. Online, I am Ted Danson. People will tell Ted Danson anything......Kahn is manic depressive."

Oh, Peggy.


This ep. is truly showing how Myspace and Facebook really are. And there are way too many quotable lines in this one as well.

"The people aren't really in the computer, Hank. That would be like Poltergeist."

[Game Freak 4]

Heh, I never use MySpace, anyway.

[MetroSparkster]

I recently liked this over Simpsons since last year.

I can't imagine why...

[Eleanor Hugbees]

I like this so far. Was Donna always this unlikable?

[Desensitized]

Hank's facepalm was awesome.

[Dudley]

This episode seems pretty ridiculous.
Can MySpace really do this?

[Game Freak 4]

This episode seems pretty ridiculous.
Can MySpace really do this?
If YouTube and DeviantART could become a s corrupted as they are now, MySpace can't be far behind.

[Classic Speedy]

Good stuff. Donna being fired and then wrecking havoc from home was one of the better plots recently, since it was using a method of badmouthing Strickland Propane that Hank was both in the dark on and hated. I loved the scene where Hank had to go through every single blog entry to find where she lived and getting visibly exhausted.

The subplot didn't do much for me, though.

[Nel]

Really liked this one. They were almost dead on about those sites. It was great.

And Buck getting beaten up by that mob.:D

[Master Moron]

I thought Donna was married?

[Kazuya Prower]

This episode seems pretty ridiculous.
Can MySpace really do this?

Ask my stepbrother's friends, they'll say yes.;)

[Juu-kuchi]

"Hank I don't think the people would come out of the computer and get you. It'd be too much like Poltergeist."

Terrific episode.

[Darklordavaitor]

"Hank I don't think the people would come out of the computer and get you. It'd be too much like Poltergeist."

Terrific episode.
Enrique needs to be in more episodes; he's just too much win to leave alone like that. I hope we see him in more before the order runs up.

Thatherton's a fan of Weezer? Does that officially make him cool, or does it take more then that? I forget...

[aalong64]

This was the first new KOTH episode I've watched in a while, and it made me think about how amazing it is that this show is still in top form after so long on the air, while the Simpsons was already getting pretty bad at the same time in its history, while Family Guy has been around half as long, and gone down the tubes twice as fast.

Both of the other shows have made me laugh more, but are definitely way past their prime. King of the Hill might not be quite as good as it was at one point, but even so, the consistent quality of this series is incredible (personally, I haven't noticed any drop in quality, but apparently others have). I'll definitely be sad to see it go, even though I didn't always watch every new episode.

[Desensitized]

Thatherton's a fan of Weezer? Does that officially make him cool, or does it take more then that? I forget...Really? I think I missed that part.

Pretty sweet, though.

I like that they use the people around Strickland more and more these days. Hopefully we'll see a bit more of them before the end.

[Radical Raven]

Best ep. of the night. I think they got Myspace dead on.

[Peter Paltridge]

I like this so far. Was Donna always this unlikable?
She's never been defined until now. Ever since they started fleshing out the other workers at Strickland -- which has only been in the recent seasons -- I've wanted to find out what Donna's deal is. Enrique has had two episodes centered around his life already, and I think Joe Jack has had one.

So this is Donna? Yikes, she's nuts.

[Neo Yi]

If YouTube and DeviantART could become a s corrupted as they are now, MySpace can't be far behind.

I'm not familiar with MySpace, but isn't that site just as...errr...corrupted as DA and youtube?

That stated, outside of the kinda rushed ending and the lackluster subplot, the episode was generally good. Again, KOTH has plenty of clever one-liners. *sigh* I'm gonna miss this show when it ends.

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

This was the first new KOTH episode I've watched in a while, and it made me think about how amazing it is that this show is still in top form after so long on the air, while the Simpsons was already getting pretty bad at the same time in its history, while Family Guy has been around half as long, and gone down the tubes twice as fast.

I'll definitely be sad to see it go, even though I didn't always watch every new episode.

They do rely on repetitive plots which were originally pioneered in earlier seasons so yeah they have declined slightly (especially overdone are the 'Peggy is a moron' plots). The fact is that the show is still character-first is still what makes KOTH a consistently pleasant watch, whereas other Fox cartoons are more about the cheap gag or laugh.

Me, I'd peg seasons 4-7 as being their prime years.

[warnerbroman]

was donnas buts this big or did I just notice?

[Daxdiv]

Very very much, but the less said about MySpace, the better.
