I thought they would just pick up where they left off. Pull a Simpsons where everyone stays the same age forever. I don’t really care for a new dynamic. Our current timeline sucks 😂 Plus that means cottons probably dead.

Cotton dies in the last season of the original run. Dude’s been dead for years.

Dale blows up Hank’s shed as tribute for Cotton iirc

To be fair I may not have made it till the last season. 2009 was a rough year 😂

twist: Cotton got robot legs, is off somewhere doing something absolutely awful

Really? I mean, I liked KotH as much as the next guy but I honestly can’t think of much the original series left unsaid that we desperately need to hear at this point… Right?
(Unless they’ve managed to somehow resurrect Brittany Murphy… In which case Mike Judge can literally closed-fist punch my mother in the face as frequently as he wants, idegaf.)

It’s going to be a lot of “that homespun wisdom being ratcheted up to 11 and slathered onto topics of today” which will likely get patronizing quickly, especially if they try to make fun of the younger generation without understanding them.
Maybe I’m wrong but
alaphic@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I hope I’m wrong, but I almost immediately got strong ‘gonna make a lot of alt-righty type pronoun joke’ type vibes that I have a feeling will end up being satirized in a way that is so OTT that either they’ll end up just coming off as edgelord cringe or will loop so far around they completely miss the point and become unironically MAGA talking points.

My biggest hope is that since brittany Murphey and Tom petty have passed, they will tragically kill off luanne and lucky in a truck accident so that Peggy and hank will be raising Lasagna Grace. I really want dee dee to have abandoned GH too, since cotton died, so since Peggy and hank never had more kids, they just adopted GH and Gracie. That’s what I want this show to be about. I’ve been hoping this since it was first announced.
I’m surprised by how excited I am for this show to come out!

It’s going to be a cash grab. I will be skipping. Maybe I’ll watch it later after the Hulu run finishes and reviews of it in its entirety are available

The newer Beavis and Butthead’s were alright but not amazing. Of course it was also decades since I watched the originals, so maybe I changed too. To that end I don’t expect new KotH to blow my socks off.

This is going to be awful.

Greg Daniels is still good though as is Mike Judge. The writers are still ok

I just hope they give Dale a hilarious death off screen instead of replacing Chad as the VA.

They could also show us Bravis and Butthead as adults. I’d be interested to see the take on that.
Stern@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Beavis and Butthead had flash forwards in their recent series where they were adults and also ones where they were elderly.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Beavis gets his hands on too much sugar, transforms into Cornholio then cracks open a box of powdered fentanyl Todd hid in their house, killing both him and Butthead.
HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
They did
modus@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Have you seen the two new seasons? They did that. And it’s awesome.
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Never watched it. Always been curious. What’s the appeal?
ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
It was a show that understood conservative American culture well enough to make social commentary on it.
tetris11@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
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
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Neat, thanks! I don’t at all know anything about conservatives, less so American ones, so it’ll be a fun watch.

One of my favorite shows. It’s texas anime.

It very much tried to peel back the curtain on what the average not quite middle class southern family was like in an era where you couldn’t as easily talk to them from across the nation. Facebook wasn’t around yet, AIM and MySpace were the norm, and it’s generally accepted that while MANY were racist, it was based on ignorance and not hatred.
It was a very different time, and I wholeheartedly believe it was a pivotal timr in which things could have gone the other way.
Norin@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The nice thing about a revival like this is that, if it sucks, you can ignore it more easily because the original run is already a complete piece.
And, if it manages to be good, that’s all gravy.
