Poor Peggy Hill...Poor Poor Peggy Hill...

[Placebo]

She deserves so much better than Hank.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

1. Hank is a loser (a.k.a Republican)

[Arkana]

8. There's actually an episode

with Dubya, where Hank shakes his hand then freaks out because the Chimp's handshake is limp.

Incredibly stereotypical of Texans (I think. Native Texans can support or challenge me on this).

[Fenris]

2. Peggy is the most unsympathetic character on the show.

That's not just my opinion. Kathy Najimy said on NPR that she doesn't know why people think Peggy is a good person, because she often does things that are outright rude or selfish.

4. peggy is a narciccist

she needs a shrink, seriously, her abusive mother has left her in a state of psychosis to where she must have to be everything, and will do anything to put her name on something

[baba]

19. True.

I would diagnose Peggy with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

I love the character, though. Her narcissism is kind of...cute.

[7th_Sephiroth]

26. shes gonna climb a clocktower one of these days

i can feel it

[LiberallyInclined]

34. the episode where hank thought dale and nancy wanted to "swing"...

peggy's response was perfect-

"So you get Nancy, and I end up with Dale...who's the clear winner there?...Dale!"

[7th_Sephiroth]

38. this one really disturbed me

"i can pee standing up" or somethin incenuating such

[solinvictus]

5. I agree..

Peggy is so egotistical that she can't stand anyone around her to achieve any degree of success, including her son. Of all the characters on the show, I hate her the most and find nothing sympathetic in her.

[Arkana]

7. True. That, and Hank's veiled bigotry

are what turned me off to the show. Peggy annoyed the hell out of me. Remember that episode where she let herself be bamboozled into making foot fetish videos? Seriously pathetic that she was so desperate to put her name on something that she couldn't see she was being used.

[Lex]

11. Solinvictus, this is how I see her character too.

Lots of the episodes show her to be totally self-involved and petty and an ego maniac.

She's the least sympathetic character of the show.

[7th_Sephiroth]

3. and whats the deal with bobby?

thats actually what you get when you shield kids from tv and such

[Twillig]

9. I get the sick feeling that Bobby

that Bobby is the child of Peggy and Bill. That boy ain't right.

[7th_Sephiroth]

25. but in flashbacks hank looked like bobby

so its not that

[Twillig]

29. Whew. Sounds good enough for me.

I did say it was a sick feeling.

I must have missed those. Hank (present day) looks like an ex-jock gone to seed. Not a
grown-up rolly-polly punch-the-bobo-doll (hyphen abuse, sorry) like Bobby, or Bill...

:-)

[7th_Sephiroth]

36. nah, watch the hell-o-ween eppisode

i think its the only halloween episode

[DS1]

12. I was called "Bobby" once

back when I was much heavier, and quite the asshole because of that, but those two only left that restaurant with their teeth intact because when it comes down to it, I'm a really non-violent guy. In fact, I like flowers, and I'd like to photograph some flowers, maybe over a charcoal grille.

/Bobby

[MuseRider]

6. What is it

about that show? I don't get why I like it. I don't watch it a lot but I always like it when I do. Peggy is a bitch.

[DS1]

15. The show is about how they are all losers.

Propane selling Hank, Asshole neighbor foreigner on a false fast-track to success, his bugspray friend raising a son that isn't his friend, the guy that wants to be back in the Army so bad it hurts neighbor, etc etc.

Of course, they have the Texas shaped clocks on the wall, and anyone that's ever been in just about any house in Texas knows they all have one :D

[baba]

20. You don't like the show? n/t

[DS1]

22. No. I love the show

I think it's brilliant, but it's really brilliant for those that have experienced the ego-trip that is 'Texas' first-hand

[DS1]

28. No, I love it

I don't get to watch it much, it's frankly not one of my priority shows, but when I do catch it, I thoroughly enjoy it

[Blue-Jay]

10. Scooby Doo deserves much better than Shaggy.

And the Skipper deserves much better than Gilligan.

It's FUCKING FICTION!

[Placebo]

13. umm...okay

go back inside your black box now, that's a good blue-jay...:eyes:

[Lex]

14. Well, of course it's fiction, but in my Literature class fictional

characters are discussed, and their relationships, and their motivations, etc.

I don't see why you think that just because it's fiction (tv, movies, novels), the characters shouldn't be discussed? :shrug:

[Blue-Jay]

16. Discuss them all you want.

I just don't think that they should be treated like real people.

[Lex]

17. Well, hell, nobody here is advocating that.

But if anyone starts treating them like real people, we'll remember your concern about that.

[Blue-Jay]

18. Aren't you cute?

[Lex]

21. Think of me as a fictional character.

:hi:

[Blue-Jay]

32. hee hee!

:hi:

Sorry. Being contentious tonight.

[slutticus]

23. I dislike almost every character on that show.....yet...

...I really like the show.

What gives?

[guitar man]

24. They are caricatures

of real-life characters. I know living here in Oklahoma, I run into these people every day. I guess I like the show because of the familiarity of the characters, hell, they live next door to me!

[Skittles]

27. they are typical dipshit Texans

I know tons of them

[slutticus]

30. I like Kahn.

HANK: So, are you Chinese or Japanese?
KAHN: I live in California last twenty years, but first come from Laos.
HANK: Huh?
KAHN: Laos. We Laotian.
BILL: The ocean? What ocean?
KAHN: We are Laotian. From Laos, stupid! It's a landlocked country in Southeast Asia. It's between Vietnam and Thailand, okay? Population 4.7 million.
HANK: So, are you Chinese or Japanese?

[LiberallyInclined]

35. the one big problem i have with the show-

Fox airs it at 6pm on sundays- and the stupid football games always run past 6 or 6:30- I don't know how it works on the west coast, but in the midwest, at least where i am, they don't play the episode later that evening or anything- we're just screwed out of it.

I LOVE the show, and on thursday nights, FX has marathon showings!

[Bouncy Ball]

31. He's got a narra urethra.

[LiberallyInclined]

33. I think you've got that backwards...

even though hank is a bit of a rightie- just look at how he was raised, and by whom...He seems like a decent guy overall, a live and let live kind of philosophy.

peggy on the other hand is a self-agrandizing bitch.

[SmileyBoy]

37. I hate everyone on King of the Hill. I hate King of the Hill.

ALL the characters are unsympathetic and unfunny.
