    King of the Hill (complete season 14) (12:01 am, Hulu)

    It's time once again to stock up on propane and propane accessories and
    make a big plate of spa-Peggy and meatballs. So what's the big deal
    about the 14th season of yet another adult animated comedy? For one
    thing, it's the first new batch of episodes in 16 years. Created by the super-duo of Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt-Head) and Greg Daniels (The
    Office, Parks and Recreation), the blue-collar comedy revolving around
    the Hill family (plus their friends and neighbors) in Arlen, Texas,
    earned critical acclaim during its original 13-season, 259-episode run
    on Fox, which has been repeated endlessly in syndication to this day.
    Today's Hulu revival brings 10 new episodes which pick up some years
    later, with Hank and Peggy Hill retired and son Bobby now 21 and working
    as a chef in Dallas. The original cast—including Judge, Pamela Adlon,
    Kathy Najimy, Lauren Tom, Stephen Root, Toby Huss, and the late Johnny
    Hardwick (who passed away after recording a few episodes)—returns, while Ronny Chieng joins the show to become the new voice of neighbor Kahn.
    Ten episodes.

    I don't know how she's doing these days, but 10 years ago Jessica Lowndes was quite a biscuit. I even let her (and her 90210 co-star Jessica Stroup) use my restroom when they were shooting an episode on my block in front of my house.
