In this episode, I talk about revisiting King of the Hill through its new season — and how that experience wasn’t just nostalgic, but kind of emotionally intense.

The original series was a constant during some tough years, and watching it now — with changed voices, older characters, and a very different tone — hit me harder than I expected.

It’s a reflection on how comfort shows can mean more than entertainment… and how weird it is when they grow up right alongside us.

Potential Spoiler Alert if you have not watched the new season yet and intend to.
