  • When Bobby's new pet snake escapes down the toilet, Hank asks Animal Control to catch it. Dale joins up with the company, in awe of his new employees " but doesn't realise that they intend to do nothing about the snake. A so-so episode...moreless

    Here in the U.K. on E4, 'The Peggy Horror Picture Show' was billed as the first episode of the eleventh season, but for unknown reasons was changed to this episode at the last minute (see my review for that episode for more).

    I found this a watchable but middling episode. Part of this may have been due to it being shown first in the season, with the show not being aired (other than on $ky) for well over a year " I find it usually takes me an episode or so to get back into the feel of the series.

    I also confess to not picking up on the parallels to Bush's handling of the Iraq war. Bearing in mind that I did not see this episode until over two years after it premiered in the US (and there was even a different American president by then), so it was already dated anyway.

    The story is a reasonable one, but not really one of my favourites. In many ways Dale is my favourite character, so I normally like episodes that feature him a lot, but this one just came off as average in my view.
    I also felt that this was one of those episodes that could have used a separate b-plot to even things up.

    Probably the best scene is the end, where Bobby asks Hank to tell him about "the snake farm", a nice allusion to the novel (and several film versions of) John Steinbeck's 'Of Mice and Men'.

    All-in-all, not a terrible episode at all " in fact it has its moments, but it's nothing special.moreless

    I liked this episode for a few real reasons. One reason would have to be the great irony and the comedy. I thought it was very ironic how when everyone needed Dale's help, it was a time where they needed after all they said about him in terms of his job. I also liked how the snake catchers were actually milking everything for what it was worth. It took Dale to get them to go back to doing their job. Overall, a funny episode with some interesting bits here and there. I was entertained, but I do not like snakes. Thank you.moreless

    Bobby recieved a pet snake that went down into the toliet. If animal control can't get the snake out, they thrn to Dale. the entire epiosde is about Dale and the Animal control workers who sit around the office doing nothing, but promote a election campaign to get them more, just by doing nothing. If finding animals in the sewer oisn't a thrill, well election years hijinks will. While the Animal control people are sitting around, Dale is down in the sewer chasing after Bobby's snake, and anything else that crawl in front of him. another good epiosde from a series that don't say die.moreless

    So there goes another ok episode of King of the Hill. I liked this episode it had its funny parts and the writing was just a little above average. The plot for this one was ok but I hope that the other episodes will get better and better. I thought that the funniest part of this one was when Dale was trying to get the job at the Animal Control Center I just busted out laughing at that part. I thought that the writing could have been a little better but I still liked it. I put this episode in the top 50 for King of the Hill episode.moreless

  • Very good, but could had been better.

    After the awesome season premiere, I had way too much anticipation for this one as it was the original first episode of the 11th Season, and while it was solid, it could had been so much better. Dale is funny of course as he tries to get that snake, and Hank is being blamed for allowing the snake in the toilet, but really, it was kind of boring to watch. I'm not talking "very boring", but more like "waiting for this to happen boring", although those lazy animal patrol guys brought in some laughs. It was actually awesome, but it had something that I've seen before and done better than this too. Megalo Dale is way better than this, but this wasn't bad either, just not the best. Lets hope the remainder of the season improves though, because while a few episodes like this in the beginning of the season isn't bad and it's also a very good start, as the later episodes get aired, if they have this kind of quality, it would be a repeat of Seasons 5-8(read:average) though rather than the fantastic Seasons 1-4 and terrible Seasons 9 and 10. Come on KOTH, I know you can do it.moreless
