King of the Hill posting break - 8/18

Words cannot describe how much I can't stand King of the Hill, and now it is slotted in between The Simpsons and Malcolm in the Middle. Feel free to kill time here ....

Why in the world did Fox decide to move KotH from before The Simpsons to after?

This thread ain't right!

But seriously, it's hard to believe that the brilliant mind that gave us Beavis and Butthead and Office Space also spewed out this garbage.

Scientific studies would prove (if they ever bothered to do them) that the uninterrupted stream of Futurama, Simpsons, and Malcolm in the Middle would cause a hilarity overload that would make people's heads explode. The half-hour unfunny breaks in between are to avoid frivolous lawsuits.

This has been a test of the emergency half-hour gripe thread system. Had there been a good show on, we would not have been here.

BEEP!!!!

Am I the only one that actually likes KOTH? Its funnier that Malcom (why is the older brother in alaska when a month ago he was in a military school, but its just a non funny side story that no one really cares about and they are just to nice not to fire the guy that plays him because of his connections to his brother that plays on That 70's Show, and since the show has been diverted from the premise of the show centering around the so called genius Malcom why do they call it Malcome in the middle anyway and thanks fox for letting me watch a crap show that has allowed me to make the worlds longest run on sentence.) In the Middle.

KOTH is badass. I refuse to further demolish your arguments, in order to leave some scrap of your man/women-hood intact. Hoo-yah!

Malcolm's first season was classic. Since then above average.

Malcolm should wish to be as good or consistent as KOTH.

KOTH rocks, and now will live longer with a better time slot.

I agree about MiTM.

I watched the first season religiously. Haven't watched the new episodes (second season on) at all...

KoTH is average at best, now...as well.

Now the Simpsons, Futurama () and Family Guy () are my animated religion.

Enjoy Malcolm in the Middle while you can because in 2 or 3 years it will become like every other sitcom. They'll start having unfunny heart-warming crapisodes where they tackle issues like drinking and drugs.

As for King of the Hill, enjoy it if you can.

Well, it seems a staggering majority approve of King of the Hill, and since I don't see any way the show can possibly go any more downhill, I think it's going to be on for a long time to come. See you at next week's posting break, Silentbob007.
