"Leanne's Saga" or "The first of five new King of the Hills"

I thought this episode kicked ass. FInally, we get to see the kind of mother Luanne has. Funny how both of their name's rhyme and such. She pretty much looks the part of every "Trailer Trash" wife out there. I wonder when will get to see Luanne's father? Apparently, we'll probably never get to see him any time soon.

I was surprised to notice a scene where Bill shows off his non-fungus toes to his buds. Wasn't he supposed to not drink any alchohol while taking the perscription? I just noticed the beer can he was holding, so it's only a suggestion.

Interesting enough, Luanne's still doing her "Manger Babies" puppet show at the church, and Buckley still the shy, low self-esteem jerk we hate to see. I'm glad their was a little zinger that was shown during the credits of Peg and Luanne at the mother-daughter make-over at the beauty school. There hasn't been a lot of these moments shown this season. At least they didn't show next weeks KOTH cropped at the side of the credits as usual.

I liked this episode a lot! It was cool to see Peggy beat up Leanne! Once of the best episodes since Green Day visited! :) It was interesting to see Luanne try to bond with her. BTW, did anyone catch that bit about Dale with Redcorn and Nancy. Dale said, "Bill's woman is making a fool out of him!" and Redcorn said, "it happens." Funny! :)

I liked it better when Peggy said she'd tongue kiss Bill before she'd let Leanne live in their house! Where'd THAT come from?

I don't have the episode on tape so I can't go back and check, but I am certain -- and have confirmed with my housemates, who agree with my recollection -- that Peg said "TOE kiss." Meaning that Hank has described Bill's fungal infection to her, and kissing those toes would be the most repugnant thing imaginable. Well, the second most repugnant thing.

Interesting. My wife and I played it back twice, and we both heard "tongue kiss." Unfortunately, that episode of KOTH has since been erased by a Daria rerun.

Anyone else have an opinion? "toe" or "tonuge"?

Wow! A controversy!

Surely someone has tapped it and can run it back with closed caption turned on. Anyone?

It's tongue. Trust me, I've read the script. I've never heard the expression "toe kiss" and I doubt King of the Hill will be the source of any new expressions for me. Also, I believe the scene was before Bill's Fungus revelation. Anyone ever notice Peggy's vocal revulsion toward Bill? It's kinda funny that Bobby bears a lot more resemblance to Bill than Hank, both in appearance and demeanor. I'll say no more.

No, no, no! Don't even THINK about it.

So you had heard the expression "lucky Pierre" before you heard it on KOTH? I doubt it.

I had...and it was determined to be "tongue kiss" after all.

I had. But then, I've also heard the expression "toe kiss" before...which is why I thought that was what Peggy said.

Did you notice that Luann's last name is Platter? An obscure "Luby's Cafeteria" reference.

I did too! Worth wating for. DAMON...what crap. Funny on In Living Color, but why the HELL FOX would take off THE show that bested "The Simpsons" with Damon crap I'll never know. Perhaps the animator were busy working on new stuff.

I was under the impression he was dead from fatal fork wounds. The scene with Bobby eating sausage with a spoon had me laughing. The funniest scene had to be Leanee coming down: "morning", "Mornning", "Morning" -Bill following her in a bathrobe. Peggy and Hank are mortified, but Bobby deapans "-morning".

I thought it was also on tv. That is cool, though it makes me cringe...sorry I am not a big Christian values person..a little too conservative for me at times. I, of course, respect all relegions and peoples beliefs...so long as they don't push them on me. I don't want to incite a flame war. The people of alt.tv.simpsons can be pretty nasty.

Damn! I missed that! I was watching the show here at college in a student area on the bigscreen. Good sound, but I missed Boomhauers rant. After the great line: "Mom..you kicked her ass." "Yes, I did." I left, I also heard the dancing line, but I didn't expect to see Peggy at the beauty salon. Though I knew she would do it. Peggy rules!

"You're not my momma. Momma's my momma."

I looooooooovved the deadpan way Peggy delivered that last line to Bobby. "But she's a better dancer than you." "You don't know that." And the equally conversational exchange with Luanne about the strongest possible bond between an aunt and a niece. (Spoiler omitted because you missed that line.) Funny dialogue is a great thing, but funny dialogue delivered totally unselfconsciously, as if it's the most normal thing in the world -- a technique which is the hallmark of KOTH, of course -- is way better than kissing Bill's toes.

Kathy Najimy rules!
