I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I love a lot of episodes so far. But I think the ones that stand out the most are the one where pegleg enters a beauty contest, the one where Luanne’s mother comes home, and the one where Dale gets an office job Firing people I. That’s the one where I actually laughed out loud and my wife was like what the fuck is going on here which just made it even more funny

Willie : Hey, I know you. You're the kid who rakes my lawn.
Bobby : No, I'm the kid who hit you in the head.
Willie : With a rake?
Bobby : No, with a golf club.
Willie : You've been rakin' my yard with a golf club? I want my quarter back.

I had forgotten how much I missed these characters.

We did the first three as well. Hardwick did Dale’s voice on the first two and Toby Huss on the third. Huss sounded more like classic Dale than Hardwick. It was weird, man.

Looks like John Redcorn and Nancy have started back up. And Joseph still has no idea as to his true parentage.

I made an effort not to focus too much on it, but I did notice Dale's voice anyway.
Not a show stopper though, the whole thing feels like catching up with a familiar place.

Yeah I was nearly in tears seeing Bobby all grown up and everyone older. I guess secular people can have feelings after all. All the characters are endless goldmines for humour. And the show manages to have heart. It's good enough but I do get bored after a couple episodes.
