King of the Hill vs. Beavis and Butthead...
I had a good weekend. I partied it up here on friday night, kind of moderate on saturday, and went home yesterday to kick it with my friends at Litchfield after dropping a buddy, Ty, off at St. Paul. Good insight of the city, and it's pretty nice. Never really walked the streets of St. Paul until this weekend. Anyway, at home Tim and I were taking shots for World Peace and I got ridiculously drunk once again!
Anyway, I was flipping thru channels tonight coming home and i cannot help noticing seeing King of the Hill is on practically all night, every night, on FX. Why? I really do not watch the show, i never hear anything great about it from the media and people, and I question myself why the hell is it being put on the slot on FX as if it is saving the station? Makes me miss Beavis and Butthead. Now Mike Judge tossed those guys in the garabage to keep working on this ridiculous cartoon that is displaying simple-minded southerners and there's nothing comical, and it doens't stand out. It is not funny...it is really showing how true southerners are! I guess it is funny in that aspect, but come on...we get the point! Beavis and Butthead, yea they are idiots too, but they are pop culture icons at least, and are worth watching! It's funny, very entertaining. The best part of the show is seeing music video bits, and it is different variety. Sometimes they used to play Johnny Cash. Sometimes they play Alice In Chains. Sometimes they play Run DMC. It is showing what music is cool, shows not so cool music in their opinion. It doesn't matter. It shows all sorts of styles that people would want to go to a record store to buy albums. MTV is shit now with reality shows, (C)rap music (i like rap..well some of it but it gets redundant). Anyway, I like how Beavis and Butthead played stuff from two decades ago that no one hasn't heard of like bands such as "helloween" or "Krokus"..."Ugly Kid Joe" was cool, and if it weren't for this show, I would have not gotten in them. It shows different variety of videos that people can say "hey, this sounds good...I'll buy a King's X CD today" (one of the most underrated hard rock bands ever). Too bad we cannot see nostalgic videos anymore!
Yea, Beavis and Butthead...I understand they got old with the toilet humor and such. But switching to work on King the Hill that is so dry and bland is beyond me! The Simpsons will fall through here soon so Groening can take a new direction like Judge did, heh.
Okay, maybe I went on a rant that got you lost. King of the Hill...boo! I'm sorry, there's a reason why they put brand new episodes on during dinner time every Sunday Night! Fox knows this show sucks, and no one is going to watch this. Same goes for Leno over King of the Hill reruns, Daily Show, etc. Then six am...more King of the Hill on FX during the time when most people sleep or rushing their sorry ass to work! Why do they keep this show on!! GAWWWWW!! What more can they do than to point out an oblivious moron thinking his Native American son is really his own while he is with a white woman who is always with "Jonny Redcorn"? I'll admit, that's pretty funny, but I cannot see how this show can capture anyone else's interest. Main focus is on propane/lawn mowers! Who gives a shit about propane tanks? Who gives a shit about lawn mowers? Who gives a shit about this show!!
I guess it is a success somehow cuz it has almost reached its tenth season so far. I guess there are a lot of idiots out there who watch it...Oh!!! I'm just kidding! I am in a cocky mood...How right to opinion can get us into trouble here in America....
