Last year, we're guessing if anyone going to survived the Kiwk-E-Mart (Or something) explosion.

This year, we've wait all Summer to find out if Peggy surviving that crash to the ground...

...As well as the baby we waiting for.

We hope.

If the show survived, partly to "Futurama".

HAVE A NICE SUMMER OF 3000!!!

FOX announced some time ago that King Of The Hill was renewed for next season.

Very few football games run until 7:30, assuming you mean Central Time. World's Funniest will probably run again from 6:00-7:00 and will get preempted regularly.

What I want to know is, how likely is it that both the first chute and the reserve chute would malfunction? Actually, it looked like it was the cords, specifically, that were defective. But regardless, what kind of cut-rate operation was that? And what kind of settlement do you think Hank could get, assuming he and Peggy didn't sign away their right to compensation? Remember, I'm pulling for you; we're all in this together. ---Red Green

Don't most skydiving outfits ask people to go through more than a few minutes of training? Hank and Peggy seemed to have rolled up and were put right on the plane.

I thought when you do your first jump ever, you're strapped on to someone else, not flying solo.

You don't have to be strapped to another person, but you do have to be attached to a static line, which basically pulls your chute cord as you are leaving the airplane. They do not give new jumpers the responsibility of pulling their own cord.

There are different ways of doing a skydive for the first time. One is called a tandem jump, where you are strapped to someone else who has a parachute on. There is also a static-line jump, there the top of the parachute is attached to a line that is attached to the plane.. the parachute WILL come out of the bag (it may malfunction after that, but it will come out at least). There is also a method called AFF, where you're accompanied by 1 or 2 instructors who hold on to you until the force of the patachute opening rips you from their hands.

i didn't see the eopisode, only the teaser and heard a lot about it.. but it looks like they took some license with the first-jump idea.

as far as the chances of an accidental, double total malfunction.....so VERY VERY VERY slim... but not impossible.

the chances of her surviving are nearly as slim,
