KotH does have a fairly high cultural knowledge entrance bar, I think. Far more than The Simpsons. Which might explain, at least in part, why KotH never gained as big an audience as it deserved.

You've gotten old, man.

My son has been watching them recently. There's some pure gold in there for sure. I would liken it more to Bob's Burgers than the Simpsons or most other animated shows. The Simpsons has always had a certain amount of cartoon slapstick to it which KoTH and BB don't as they are more rooted in actual human interaction, KoTH more so.

Where the Simpsons can be appreciated by kids and adults, I don't think KotH works for kids. Because, yeah, that slapstick aspect. KotH is more obviously satirical. But, lord, it was good. Even its last couple seasons were very respectable.revbob wrote: ↑27 Apr 2019, 12:35pmMy son has been watching them recently. There's some pure gold in there for sure.

Bill: So then Cotton says, "I bet Fatty here can eat 50 potatoes," and the bartender said, "No way." Which of course was a terrible insult to the colonel's honor. Long story short, I was pronounced legally dead. But it was a heck of a weekend.
