    Really? I mean, I liked KotH as much as the next guy but I honestly can’t think of much the original series left unsaid that we desperately need to hear at this point… Right?

    (Unless they’ve managed to somehow resurrect Brittany Murphy… In which case Mike Judge can literally closed-fist punch my mother in the face as frequently as he wants, idegaf.)

      It’s going to be a lot of “that homespun wisdom being ratcheted up to 11 and slathered onto topics of today” which will likely get patronizing quickly, especially if they try to make fun of the younger generation without understanding them.

      Maybe I’m wrong but

        I hope I’m wrong, but I almost immediately got strong ‘gonna make a lot of alt-righty type pronoun joke’ type vibes that I have a feeling will end up being satirized in a way that is so OTT that either they’ll end up just coming off as edgelord cringe or will loop so far around they completely miss the point and become unironically MAGA talking points.

      My biggest hope is that since brittany Murphey and Tom petty have passed, they will tragically kill off luanne and lucky in a truck accident so that Peggy and hank will be raising Lasagna Grace. I really want dee dee to have abandoned GH too, since cotton died, so since Peggy and hank never had more kids, they just adopted GH and Gracie. That’s what I want this show to be about. I’ve been hoping this since it was first announced.

      I’m surprised by how excited I am for this show to come out!

      It’s going to be a cash grab. I will be skipping. Maybe I’ll watch it later after the Hulu run finishes and reviews of it in its entirety are available
