I started watching King of the Hill for the first time in over a decade.
Got to the episode where the Megalomart explodes. It's so weird. Remembering the ads where they basically said one person dies if they couldn't move the show to Vegas, then they end up keeping the show in Texas but killing Buckley. The way they advertised this show at this point was super weird. They actually set it up so "OMG somebody died! It's either Hank, Luanne, Buckley or Chuck Mangioni!!!!" Advertising gimmicks were weird in the 90s. They did something similar for DS9 the episode Dax died. "ONE OF THESE CHARACTERS WILL DIE!"
I don't know what they were thinking about behind the scenes but it really seemed like they were going to move the show to Vegas.
