Who watches this show? I used to watch it ritually last year, but every now and then I go back and get on a KotH streak. I love this shows comedy style because no other show really seems to have anything like it.

My favorite episode still stands as the lawnmower racing episodes and the Diminished Glutes :D.

The characters were pretty funny, I must say. I haven't watched that show in a while, though. Have they gone the way of The Simpsons and declined into gimmicks?

I've got to say that I think the show is a bit "safe" in that for a satire, it misses too many opportunities to poke fun of Texans and Americana.

I find the characters are more realistic than any other sitcom, and remind me of people I know.
Similarly, the stories don't follow the standard recycled sitcom plotlines, and mirror real situations that anyone goes through.

That's true. But then again, I'm one of those people who tend to find cartoon people more believeable than their photographic television counter-parts.

I would love this show more than anything if it wasn't for Peggy. She pisses me off so much. I actually can't stand watching any episode based on her, no matter how good it is.

I hated this show because the art sucked and it was centered around country, redneck hicks.

I can only imagine you've never seen more than five minutes of the pilot.

heh, no. I've seen a few episodes when I was bored.

Not really.

Anyway I do think it's a really good show and definitely has its own style of humor. I tend not to find subtle humor funny (not that I don't pick up on it, but rather it just doesn't appeal to me) but most of the times I laugh out loud in this show is because of some small absurdity.
