Wow, what a great final episode of KOTH on Channel 4. Friday nights just won't be the same again - Frasier and KOTH made a great combination, perfect for videoing - until 1999 when they start to show the next series! And what a cliffhanger to end on. I laughed a LOT when Boomhauer phoned up the emergency services.

Which season are we on by now, incidentally?

Channel 4 really does seem to have the monopoly on good imports: why do the other channels only import the very worst?! And I won't even begin to talk about the cable offerings.

Absolutely! I can't get enough of Bobby! Anyway, that aside, didn't the last season of KOTH in the US end with the proposed move to LA? If that is so, then why are the bastards at C4 waiting until next year if another season is already recorded and in the bag? Could the dreaded Sky be involved??? I know that they're showing re-runs of the first season at the moment. Either way, I can't wait!!! Gimme Bobby!!!

Slight misunderstanding here -- the episode you've just seen in the UK is also the most recent episode we've seen here in the States, complete with exploding Mega-Lo-Mart cliffhanger ending. The proposed move to the Hollywood Hills "subplot" that caused so much uproar here was not actually a plot element in any of the episodes; it was a series of teasers shown during the closing credits of several consecutive episodes, purporting to be network announcements of the forthcoming move, objections raised by Hank, updates on "negotiations" to resolve the "controversy," and other intelligence-insulting fare.

If you didn't suffer through these closing segments in the UK...you have the envy of several million irate Colonials who wish they hadn't been subjected to them either.

Ah, yes, that is the same episode. I have to report to you that the Hollywood Hills debacle was entirely missing from the broadcasts over here, which does explain some of the misunderstandings. From what you say, I'm glad we didn't have to put up with it!

We didn't get it Canada either. Must be a Commonwealth thing.

More precisely, it must be a Fox Network thing. The vast intellects who manage such things at Fox decided this would be a clever publicity stunt. Millions of Americans disagreed.

But then, I expect you know what it's like having a television network owned by Rupert Murdoch, right?

What next series are you talking about? You got me curious. :)

The Channel 4 announcer said at the end of the last episode that we'd have to wait until next year for a new series. That's all I was referring to - an as-yet-hypothetical series!

Dear Robert, The next season is the third. Either Hank, Luanne, Buckley, or Chuck Mangione will die in the explosion. I think that Buckley will die. Thanks, Jeremy Gallen [email] http://come.to/kingofthehill/
