King of the Hill Revival Keeps Up the Show’s Biggest Secret

The fourteenth season of “King of the Hill” has arrived, and it’s evident that despite changes in the show, familiar elements remain. Hank and Peggy Hill find themselves back in their usual roles after spending years abroad due to Hank’s new job with propane. Despite their time away, they seem hardly changed from their younger selves. Remarkably, the revival of “King of the Hill” continues a side-splitting storyline that has been a staple since the beginning of the series. Although some relationships are straightforward, an enduring joke involving Dale and Nancy’s relationship resurfaces.

Heads up! If you haven’t seen King of the Hill season 14 yet, beware as we’re about to delve into major spoiler territory. One of the most humorous recurring jokes in the series revolves around Nancy and John Redcorn’s relationship. Although it was obvious to almost every character on the show that they were involved, Dale has never figured this out. Over time, evidence of their affair was presented to Dale in various ways, but as a conspiracy theorist, he consistently overlooked what was plainly evident right before his eyes.

Nancy And John’s New Project

In the debut episode of King of the Hill‘s comeback, the fourteenth season humorously explores the notion that Nancy and John Redcorn have taken the plunge and formed a romantic relationship. However, this amusing scenario turns out to be a deception, as it’s eventually disclosed that they have launched a YouTube Channel named “Selling Arlen.” On this channel, they aim to help those looking for a place in the Texas town find their dream home. The irony deepens when we learn that Dale, of all people, came up with the idea for the show, demonstrating his continued cluelessness throughout the years.

During the gap between seasons thirteen and fourteen, Dale Gribble found himself in quite an eventful period. In a surprising turn of events, Dale was elected as the mayor of Arlen, Texas, due to his conspiracy theories striking a chord with the townspeople. This development may not have been anticipated by many viewers. However, Dale relinquished the mayoral position when he began to doubt the honesty of the election that led him there. Back at his pest control business, Dale’s personality remains much the same, but behind the scenes, changes have occurred in his character.

Sadly, Johnny Hardwick, the voice actor for Dale Gribble, passed away before the recording of the fourteenth season could be completed in its entirety. To pay tribute to the actor and ensure that Dale Gribble continued to feature on the show, Toby Huss stepped into the role, ensuring that Arlen’s resident Dale would still have a significant presence.
