I love this show, and I have a strong feeling this isn't going to add anything to it. Have any of these "new" seasons for long canceled shows ever been good?

The new season of Aqua Teen was pretty well received afaik.
Hulu somehow ruined Futurama worse than comedy central, and with their weird bans on stuff like alcoholic imagery, this is going to be a massive disappointment.
No Gribble. No Lucky. No Luanne.
Ill watch it in a few years maybe.
are they actually not in the show or just not in the advertising?
The actors voicing them have all died.
their original voice actors are dead
ah RIP
The new Beavis and Buttheads seasons are fairly decent. Have actually never seen King of the Hill so no idea if this will be the same.
im excited regardless. koth is just such a great show even its lows are pretty good
I wanna see Hank sniffing propane like Saw huffing rhydo...
The last seasons of KOTH weren't that great plus Dale's VA passed away, so I don't have high hopes. At least they aged the characters, so they can't completely rely on nostalgia.
But now that I think about it, if Hank's retired, then wouldn't most episodes be about Bobby? There's only so much you can do with Hank, Bill, and Boomhauer since you can't use Dale, and Dale is the one who drives the plot in the latter seasons. Having Joseph and Connie be his coworkers would be completely contrived, so I guess the characterization of Bobby's coworkers would be what makes or breaks the new season?
Edit: I saw the new intro. I laughed when Bill got Covid, so I guess they haven't completely lost touch.
with a different family dynamic maybe they've got some new ideas for it, but idk Hank was always like a liberal's conception of what a moderate conservative would be like if they actually existed and I feel like there's going to be some extremely cringe and out of touch commentary in this season as a result of the writers trying to square that circle with modern conservatives.
or maybe they'll knock it out of the park and conservatives will be frothing about how Hank went woke because the show perfectly dissects their worldview and shows them how pathetic they are.
Yeah the hank hill "normal" republican doesnt exist anymore (or never has tbh)
They exist in like Canada, Australia, UK instead now as they also shift right but try to do it non-Trumply.
Even in the original run the show had completely lost its juice by the time they added Lucky. Big fan of the show but I'm going to pretend this doesn't exist and continue live in my pristine mind palace where the show ended after season 7.
i disagree
Might be different if you didn't grow up in a town very similar to Arlen, but those first several seasons felt like a documentary of so many people I actually knew, but then it just kinda became disconnected from the setting and started to feel like a more generic cartoon set in Everywhere USA. Those first several seasons though are straight up magical in their ability to accurately channel the feeling of small towns in that region at that specific time.
No i hated it at first because i was a teenager and didn't get satire and it's like why would i watch a show about my dad. But that's what makes it good, it really nails that cracker suburbia. And i disagree it never lost its magic
The Beavis and Butthead reboot (both of them) were pretty good. Futurama was ok too, I still say "oh my yes, well that's where you're wrong!"
Mike Judge doesn't seem to have lost his way too much. Doesn't really do the "fuck cancel culture!" Thing. Still makes fun of chuds like he always has.
I will miss Dale. His VA died, and I'm not sure i can handle it without Dale.
cries in Luanne
I think I heard he was already recording some episodes before he died.
It’s a huge loss for sure. Rusty Shackleford is one of the best animated characters in the history of TV.
