Tonight’s episode was rather blah. Not much action for Peggy or Bobby. The suble drug decriminalization stuff was a little odd for King of the Hill.

I have to agree - the moralizing in it was a little hamfisted and there really wasn’t much that was actually funny in that episode.

It had it’s moments. Hank’s continued misplaced hero-worship of Buck, and his obliviousness to the “200–no, 300 Island dressing” salads the cops were getting, Peggy’s arousal at his lawbreaking, and the dream sequence with Hank, Tom Landry, Abe Lincoln, and George Washington in a B-17 arguing about ethics.

“This is just like a commercial for the Sopranos!”

slight hijack: I haven’t watched this show in several weeks. Has Cotton’s death been a continuing plot line or was it just in the one episode?

I thought it was a good episode, especially when Dale wondered what could go wrong with ceviche from an unregulated truck.  
Speaking of Cotton, whatever happened to his trophy wife Didi and their son G.H. for “Good Hank”?

I agree it was generally weak but I did laugh at Lincoln’s “_Kraut’s at 9:00_” and then Washington working the gun in a hail of spent shells.
