A show on a network you dislike and expect to be bad is actually pretty decent.
then it gets canned because normal viewers for that network don't appreciate it and want more of what they are used to

Depends on how it's done.
Sometimes it can be amusing, but other times it just comes off as cliche or even preachy.

>>92042775
Dr. Girlfriend is a good person but Monarch is even more of an asshole than Venture, which is an accomplishment.

>>92042827
Monarch is only an asshole to Rusty and those who get in the way of his hatred for Rusty.

Otherwise he's a decent person. Hell, remember when Monarch and Dr Girlfriend wanted to be Hank and Deans parents because Rusty is neglectful?

more than you can say about Rusty

>>92043008
Hasn't the Monarch ordered the brutal murder of people or brutally murdered people himself at least once in every single season?
Rusty has only ever done it out of apathy or neglect.

>>92043008
I wouldn't go that far. Rusty is an ass but when he lost the Boy's safety net he atleast cared about their safety a bit more.

Me in real life. My sister dropped out of college and is a pothead slut, she was the first one in the family to go to college and our parents paid for her tuition. Her grades were so bad she was expelled. Now I'm in college and regularly make the dean's list. I'm 4 years younger than her. She barely spends any time at home, she hangs out with her pothead friends so she doesn't have to come home and show her embarrassment. She got fired from her job recently too, it's only a matter of time before she gets hooked on meth or knocked up or something awful.

Tho I'm not much better. dropped out last august because I cant afford to go to a college if I'm paying tuition just to have a chance at one of 25 seats per YEAR in getting necessary to graduate classes. made the right choice there, we used that money this year to save mom from a pulmonary embolism.

This. Hank is a traditionalist and hard to change his ways. That's kinda the point of King of the Hill. Hank is a man with the mindset of the 50's and small town values in a contemporary world that is constantly clashing against it and he has to adapt or find a balance between the two. Sometimes his values and viewpoints win, sometimes they don't and he grows as a person.

Luanne was all over the place. Some episodes she has the mentality of a child and others she's a typical young adult trying to figure out adulthood. Her shining moment to me was when she was renting that house with the other tenants who were dumping all the financial responsibility of paying the bills on her and at the end up a episode she goes and has the bills split between the three of them so they have to pay their share or lose the power which happens at the end and Hank shows her respect for standing up for herself and taking control of her situation and showing she could be an independent person after he showed his concerns of her moving out on her own.

You're completely missing the point. A villain might kill somebody to achieve a goal and believe that goal makes the killing justified, but also think killing for reasons like racism or religion or something else is abhorrent. You probably don't think killing your enemy in war is wrong, but you probably do think persecuting non-combatants because of their race/religion/sex/ethnicity is wrong. Obviously this depends on the kind of villain you're talking about, a sadistic sociopath isn't going to care if somebody's a racist but an ideologically motivated terrorist probably would.

Nobody is saying a villain stops being a villain because they won't do certain things, but it does make the villain more interesting and likable if they have standards. Can you really not see the difference between somebody who kills a black guy because he hates blacks and somebody who kills a black guy because the black guy is a petty thief and the villain is trying to kill all criminals or something?

And nobody is saying murder is okay you stupid fuck. You're thinking in pure black and white like a child.

>>92055174
Both are cliche concept anon, you do realize that right? The whole "cleanse the world of crime" thing has been done to death.

I like it when the villain has learned the error of their ways and tries to make up for it.

It even better when they have trouble but still go with it anyway.

avoid my general direction with that homosexual feces, negro.

>Comic relief character gets their own episode and is revealed to be actually quite competent

>>92065299
I can think of a bunch of games where the player character slows down based on how damaged they are and do things like grab their injuries and stuff, that close enough?

>how villain became villain episode

Alternatively:

>April 1st episode, villain replaces hero as MC and makes himself out to be the good misunderstood guy and the hero as the bad manipulative guy

>super cute loveable but apprehensive love affair drags you in over the entire story just to reluctantly betray you. The more reluctant the better.

Gets me every fucking time in tears.

>that show was better than it had any right to be

It is awesome, and as far as I see it, has ever right to be as awesome as it is.

If it's coors lite you're basically just drinking 4.

>>92054420
That's what makes it funny
Go stir up shit somewhere else

>>92053941
>character wrecks the shit out of said replacement in almost every boss encounter and actually gets repairs onscreen.

>>92067419
Well I do agree it can make a hilarious in a comedic context anon, though I don't think we are discussing comedy

>>92044390
Is the MLP episode that made horsefuckers mad, because it was too real isn't?

>>92060686
That is not a consolation. Like. at all.

Dude did not deserve the fate he got. Not with as cool a character as he was with the potential he had.

And the quoted only works assuming they *were* in the first place. For all we know, it could have been chaste. Knowing that particular amazon, it's not easy to tell.

>>92053973
Character "dies" and is revived. The process has physical consequences.

Get the local stuff. It's always good. Canadian local shit is fucking tasty.

Holy shit, take this tropertales shit back to TVtropes where it belongs.
No one cares about you.

>>92054378
Bonus points if this happens several times and the cast still can't quite place them.

Mitigating factors anon.

>>92068051
If it was something like the difference between a crime of passion and purposeful manslaughter yes anon, but straight up killing is killing no matter what.

>>92063004
True, but I'd say it's probably more noticeable with Alf and Furg because they were Marco's friends before Star came into his life, so them loosing focus comes off as Marco not hanging with them like he used to, and Marco's generally not the character who would do something like that.

>>92054763
But anon, soldiers don't slaughter villages. They just steal their food and/or rape their women.

>>92068174
As long as they rape all races of women equally it'll be less heinous anon, but you make a good point

>>92054961
Yes he is. Killing soldiers is not the same as genocide. Killing people does not equal killing a people. Motivation is a thing.

>>92046012

Honestly I prefer the Howie scream, always gets a laff outta me.

>>92055283
Iroh is a good person.
