Another brilliant episode of king of the hill. There is a tendancy to feature Hanks father as oppose to his mother - Cotton is the easy option, guarenteed laugh out loud moments and a fan favourite. Therefore we get to see little of Hanks mother but this is a prime example of how brilliant she can be. She brings out a certain flavour to Hank that is intresting to see. However the real highlight of this episode is seeing Hank out of his element (something that is always funny) so overall this is a episode with real meat and humour. Dmoreless

This episode was the perfect escape from bad TV.

Hank is given many reasons to groan when he has to drive his Mother and four difficult old ladies to an island to see a Museum of Miniatures and things get much worse when the Port is terrorised by Spring Break. With Hank away; Bill sees it as the perfect chance to hit on Peggy with hilarious and downright disturbing results. First of all; the combination of drunk, partying teens and angry old ladies with the stiff and conservative Hank was genius and it's hard to say who gets more laughs from who. The Bill/Peggy sub - plot has it's moments but often Bill's antics are more depressing than funny. The worst plot - related choice involved the soppy moments with Hank and his Mom, King of the Hill is meant to be a serious show but this just took advantage of the situation.

The impressive vocal line - up for this show adds a lot more and it really feels like a virtual world rather than Family Guy and South Park where every two voices sound alike. The crinkly guest stars are often hilarious and despite the overbearing Stephen Root; all of the reguler voices are great. I wish the same could be said for the animation but it is quite ugly. The facial models look well - detailed but don't hold - up with the stilted frame rate.

Despite technial flaws; this was a terrific episode of King of the Hill.moreless
