    Don’t care how good it might be, not going to watch a remake/revival/reimagining of a completed show. Fuck all the nostalgia, I want to meet new characters and get to know them through a natural story progression.

      King of the Hill is an episodic sitcom. It’s never “complete,” it’s a new slice of life each episode with minor seasonal arcs. One could jump into any random episode and enjoy it (which is pretty much how I saw it when young).

      If this was, like, a meticulously planned serial epic with an apocalyptic last episode, I could see where you’re coming from…

        Replace completed with cancelled then. It’s an end. Things end and there’s a satisfaction to that. There’s a sense of letting go that reboots fly in the face of to me

      As a counter argument, a show like King of the Hill is a sitcom that is never really complete. Sure characters do grow and change, but especially in an unaging cartoon, everyone is roughly the same.

      King of the Hill aged their characters up, so now we get to see them grow and change at a different point in their life, which is new and interesting.
