People are b!tching on social "this shouldn't have even been thought-of after Brittany Murphy died."

If Muppets can still exist after Jim Henson, then King Of The Hill can still exist after Murphy. 

I’m pleased they are bringing it back

I read that the show will be updated to present day, but I am assuming that the characters will all still be the same age?  Bobby is still going to be in middle school, not grown up? 

We always enjoyed King of the Hill, and did a complete rewatch last year, and still found it entertaining, so I am eager and hopeful to see the reboot.

I can finally answer Marti... Bobby is grown up. More deets here, plus 'toob of the new opening titles...

Ah, thank you!  I hope it will be good, so many reboots are...well...not.

Pamela Adlon's still doing Bobby's voice?

YACS! She's apparently been in contact with the current online identity of former Mad competitor Cracked, and let them know first in May 2024 about what Bobby would be, then that October what he'd look like...

I hate when that happens...

Jonathan Joss, who played Redcorn, was apparently shot and killed over the weekend in an act of homophobic terrorism. 

So much for Pride Month.

Variety, whom also reported Joss' killing (link), mentioned that he was in the audience, apparently uninvited by Judge and Daniels to speak onstage, at their ATX presentation Friday (5/30) in Austin (link)... Adlon (see my reply to Marti earlier) was among other cast on hand...

God, that was a horrible thing. They burned his house down with dogs inside, then while he and his husband were standing outside grieving, this idiot screamed homophobic slurs at him and shot him.  It is tragic that there is so much hate in this world.
