Your right. I know nothing about humor.

Hahahaha, this show is one of my all time favorites. The humor is defiantely subtle but if you are cynical enough, you pick up on it, haha.

Nor do you know anything about grammar. The contraction of you are is you're, not your, which is a possessive pronoun.

The show is hilarious, but you need to watch it for a little while to understand the characters.

I tried watching it 2 or 3 times, and didn't like it.

But I have a friend from Texas who though it was funnier than anything else. Guess I just didn't have the same cultural reference.

except that 70's show is like, funny

I find the show pretty damn funny. You know the saying "It's only funny because it's true". That fits King of the Hill. But if you've never lived in an area like that, you won't see the truth to it. It reminds me a lot of Orlando.

Obviously shows you've call their good shows, werent that great, because they had poor ratings(Family Guy, Futurama, etc). And dont bitch about time slots, KOTH has had the crappy time slot(s) too, but it still managed to get decent ratings.

The Simpsons > The Family Guy > King Of The Hill > Futuroma

Futurama sucked. I'm glad it's gone.

If you think King Of The Hill is funnier than either The Simpsons, Family Guy, or Futurama you are officially retarded.

King of the Hill is funnier than Family Guy. Sometimes funnier than Simpsons or Futurama but not usually.
