King of the Hill is another animated sitcom other than The Flintstones to age up the characters for a spin-off.

I admit the idea of setting this 15 years later with the characters is at least interesting though King of the Hill certainly isn't a show that feels like it needed an additional run. I mean Clone High I get bringing back but KOTH lasted 12 seasons and even then some people felt that was too long. Though I get why it was chosen because yeah it still does really solid rerun numbers and in this day and age everything that was popular once gets talks of a revival. Especially an animated one where you could bring back a fair amount of the cast and keep things the same though in this case again kudos for wanting to do something different.
I've always viewed King of the Hill as a social commentary on 90's American suburban life rather than political commentary. It feels like people recently politicized the show due to the growing political divide, but I wonder if those people watched more than a handful of episodes or grew up in 90's suburbia.I was surprised to hear the original KOTH lasted until 2009 (yes, I know 4 leftover episodes premiered in syndication in 2010, not really counting that).
I "checked out" (stopped paying attention to the show) before 2004, and maybe it shouldn't have lasted past 2004, but I guess Fall 2008/Spring 2009 was the last season on Fox. Still, part of the attraction to "King of the Hill" is that it didn't linger on into the 2010's, like Family Guy and the Simpsons (unless you count it "lingering around" in reruns on Adult Swim).
Without talking politics, some would argue it's a product of an era tied to the Bush Administration, but my memories are of it more being tied to the Clinton Administration (like "Beavis and Butthead", which is even more strongly tied to the 90's).
I mean, it has potential, but I think it'd be best as a stand alone animated movie, not as a new ongoing series. But don't bring it back just because of politics of the last 5 (or so) years. This series was never meant to be a "All in the Family" type commentary track on society. Don't turn Hank Hill into 2018 Roseanne Barr, that was never the point of the character.
EDIT: I'm trying to think how much time truly passed over the course of the last KOTH series. Bobby never could truly hit puberty, but there were a few milestones (birthdays) referenced, and so maybe only 2 to 3 years passed over the course of the series. I question bringing back a show where the characters didn't hardly age for 12 years, and bringing them back to find they've suddenly aged, and it's now 15 years later.
Just to note, the show started on January 12, 1997, shortly before Clinton's second inauguration. So the show aired for about one and a half presidential tenures (while it did run into the first quarter of Obama's, I don't suppose the writers thought about him when writing the last batch of episodes since, well, they were the last batch of episodes).Without talking politics, some would argue it's a product of an era tied to the Bush Administration, but my memories are of it more being tied to the Clinton Administration (like "Beavis and Butthead", which is even more strongly tied to the 90's).

Well, that's good to hear.
Weird because Judge I thought said he was only going to time skip a few years to when Bobby is still a teen. Unless I'm misremembering or changed his mind.I wonder what this revived king of the hill could be about, all I know that's bobby is gonna grown up but what else?
One way I would do it would be having him be let down by the direction other conspiracy theorists have gone down and refusing to follow them.I wonder if Dale will still be a conspiracy nut. I mean, Alex on Close Enough proves you can still make the concept work, but on the other hand, it might be a little too "real".
