Lesley and Ben are hopping in the car and taking a quick drive down to Arlen, Texas, to talk about the 1997 Fox Animated Sitcom King of the Hill. We’re getting right into it with Ben’s first staff pick of the season and talk about everything from this show’s realistic politics to the silhouette principles of character design, suburban comedy and to Hank and Peggy’s weird neighbors. Plus, Lesley gives us some behind the scenes information on Texas culture and the show’s references to their state, and Ben talks about getting into Chuck Mangione’s music over the summer. And Boggle. We talk about Boggle.We’re really excited to talk about Adult Animation together for Season 2 of Syndicated with Lesley and Ben.
