The Morality Turns of King of the Hill

King of the Hill is more than a show about propane, lawn care, and one man’s reasonable discomfort with change. It is a quietly moral comedy about how to live decently with people you do not completely understand.In this Bwaaa video essay, we look at Hank and Bobby, Peggy, Bill, Dale, Kahn, and Luanne—and the small turns where pride gives way to care, certainty gives way to relationship, and Arlen chooses not to throw its hardest people away.Subscribe for more Bwaaa video essays, and find us anywhere you get your podcasts.Chapters00:00 Intro01:01 A moral comedy in Arlen02:17 Hank Hill and the limits of familiarity04:00 Discomfort, dignity, and decency05:28 Peggy Hill and the need to matter06:50 Ad break07:18 Bill, Dale, and making room for people10:04 Kahn and the duty of neighborliness11:15 Luanne and the gift of safety12:12 What people owe each other14:30 OutroSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
