Neat, thanks! I don’t at all know anything about conservatives, less so American ones, so it’ll be a fun watch.
It was a show that understood conservative American culture well enough to make social commentary on it.

Tons of Texas in-jokes too. One of the main characters was named Luanne Platter, which is the name of the dinner special at a restaurant called Luby’s in Texas (The LuAnn Platter). There’s still a few around, but they were a lot more prevalent back then.
Hank Hill’s job as a propane salesman is also kind of a joke. Cooking a brisket on propane, for example, is a sin. There’s even episodes where the family sneaks around his back to eat charcoal grilled burgers.

well said. I’d also argue that it gave a good peek into the mind of a good man with outdated values humbly and somewhat begrudgingly updating his beliefs

Watching Hank slowly come around to things was interesting.
But other times it’s just silly jokes. Like trying to open a can of WD-40, just to bust out a smaller can to spray the lid.
