King Of The Hill Season 10
The Best
"Hank's On Board", "Orange You Sad I Did Say Banana?", "Church Hopping", "The Texas Panhandler", "Edu-macating Lucky" (quick honorable mentions to "Harlottown", "Business Is Picking Up", and "24 Hour Propane People")
The Worst
Welp, here we are, "Hank's Bully" is the first episode of this show I consider to be terrible. Also worth noting it's the 200th episode. What a way to celebrate that milestone, guys.
Notes:
-Yeah honestly I'm really starting to enjoy Lucky's presence. It's pretty clear he was added to pump more new life into the show, but I really don't mind as long as that character is enjoyable and doesn't really ruin anything, and Lucky is the both. Also Tom Petty puts on a great performance so hats off to him. RIP.
-I really do hate Hank's Bully. Especially because of how unbelievably insufferable Caleb is. There's a term thrown around a lot in the review community on how to "make characters annoying to the characters and not the audience", which is hard to do but very true, and man, they failed spectacularly doing that with Caleb. Sheesh.
-I forget if I said it in my Season 9 notes but god I love how they brought back Hank's "BWAAAAAAAH" that kind of got forgotten around seasons 6-8. It's definitely my favorite Hank Hill-ism, I could listen to it all day. It never fails to crack me up.

@Renegade the Unicorn I don't think Hank was too bad in that one. The way he handled the situation was very true to his character, trying to tell him to stop with words, telling his parents, and even taking his bike as a last resort but of course none of it works so he has to go wildly out of character for his last resort. That kind of rubbed me the wrong way but it's his last resort so ehh I'll let it slide. I do like the idea of Hank having to deal with an annoying little brat but I just wish there was more to this character and he wasn't so freaking obnoxious. Every time he came on screen I just wanted to punch him so hard and it just makes me angry. It's an unusually vindictive show also, there's this unusually nasty and mean-spirited undertone to the entire thing. "Hank Gets Dusted" was similar in the way that it beat Hank down a lot, but managed to do it with a comedic tone while this one just felt unusually nasty and vindictive.
