TalKing of the Hill - I Remember Mono
Added 2022-02-25 05:00:03 +0000 UTCKing of the Hill gets its own "The Way We Was" as we flash back to the year 1975 to see an important moment in the Hills' early years. But when Peggy stumbles upon a hidden dark chapter in this cute story, Hank finds himself in the doghouse until he comes up with a way to make this Valentine's Day as magical as their first one should have been. Plus, is gold-medal Olympian Kerri Strug Bobby's secret admirer? Listen in and find out why this episode's resolution is more satisfying than a piece of finely cooked saustrich!

The talk of cherry pie made me realize that I also haven't had a regular old cherry pie in years. I gotta see about fixing that.

2022-02-27 15:51:59 +0000 UTCI feel like writers have a hard time writing today because of guys like you barking and looking too densely at every inch and ounce of character dynamics. Luanne's beliefs are mocked in the same way Dale's or Bobby's is. Not every female character needs to be held to 'I'm right on everything' standards
2022-02-27 08:11:18 +0000 UTCI was lucky enough to have cherry pie at Twede's Cafe during my wife and I's self-guided Twin Peaks tour during the summer of 2020. It was just fine, as was the coffee.

2022-02-27 01:07:42 +0000 UTCI wonder if it's a subconscious result of the male writers having a tough time writing for/relating to them.

2022-02-26 20:39:31 +0000 UTCAt some point in the early seasons they mention Hank being like 37 or something. I always assumed he was like 50 but definitely not the case!

2022-02-26 04:01:52 +0000 UTCI also had this exact conversation (but in reverse) earlier this week. There must have been something in the zeitgeist recently...
2022-02-26 03:46:15 +0000 UTCListening to the mistreatment of Luanne in this episode made me wonder if Seth Mcfarlane got a similar idea for his hyperbolic mistreatment of Meg on Family Guy. Although more likely it was probably lifted from the "TAKE THAT LISA'S BELIEFS" school of writing. I will say that Luanne is probably more quote/unquote 'deserving' of her derision cause she's ultimately her own worst enemy. But it still makes me pause and think: "Damn intentionally treating your daughter type character in these shows is a reoccurring theme".

2022-02-26 02:58:18 +0000 UTCSo if Hank and Peggy were 17 in 1975 and this episode aired in 1998, Hank and Peggy are canonically 40 aka the age all us 1982 babies turn this year. Yikes. Also, the bit with the fake movie reminded me of a runner in the following year’s Being John Malkovich where characters keep alluding to Malkovich’s role in “that jewel thief movie,” which was also made up.

2022-02-26 02:03:32 +0000 UTCYesterday, YESTERDAY, when I described myself as "tiny," bemoaning the fact that I couldn't reach most shelves, and that my feet can't touch the floor in chairs, because the world is made for the tall, my friend said "you're not THAT short. It's not like You're Kerri Strug." At the time it felt like a very deep cut.

2022-02-26 01:32:02 +0000 UTCCvs managers in shambles. Thought it was pretty cool how you guys recently spoke about how important postal staff are, so that comment was kind of a bummer tbh (not a cvs manager to be clear). Henry's all about workers rights on Twitter, but Dave from ninth grade having a regular job bums him out?
