King of the Hill 4/20/08: Strangeness on a Train

Greetings propaniacs, the game is afoot this week, and I'm not talking about the new Arlen football season. It's Peggy's birthday this week, and a mystery needs to be solved, so grab your weird Sherlock Holmes hat, or Hawiian shirt or raincoat if you wish and hop into the Scooby Van, Because Hank, we've got some work for you now.

Are you sick of the mystery solving refrences yet?

Stressed that her birthday parties never live up to her expectations, Peggy plans herself a disco-themed party on a mystery train, but after Luanne ruins the surprise, Peggy worries her parties will always end badly. However, a new mystery arises after a couple sneaks away for some private time in the train bathroom, and the partygoers must figure out who did it.

The Easy money is on Boomhauer, but things are never as they seem.

notes:
The title of this episode is a reference to Patricia Highsmith's Strangers on a Train, a novel that was adapted as a 1951 Alfred Hitchcock movie. The plot follows two men who meet on a train and agree to "exchange murders," and each kill someone in the other man's life in exchange for the murder of someone in their life, but only one man takes it seriously.
 
Hey, ignore the date on this thread and pretend it says the 27th. I have a bad habit of not reading the date on these things sometimes.
 
Good episode always nice to see how Hank comes through for Peggy....uh...maybe I should have rephrased that.:lol:


Some points....

1-For godsake will someone please put a boot up Dale's ass!!!!this is the 3rd episode where he's been a total jerk..I didn't think it was possible but they manage to raise the bar on his jerkness level every time this season

2-Way to go Hank and Peggy....I didn't think Hank would ever do something like that.:techman:

3-That was a nice moment between Lucky and Peggy at the end.
 
Great episode tonight. Easily one of the best of the season so far. Both storylines were pretty entertaining. I actually liked Dale acting like a jerk in this episode, it feels very in character for him to make fun of Peggy if her birthday gets screwed up every year.
 
Excellent epidosde. way to go Hank and Peggy. :techman:

Sometimes I do feel bad for Peggy when she gets a comeuppance. But The way it worked out was better than what they had planned in the first place.

So... this bit about Peggy's birthday always being ruined... does this stand up to the last 12 years of the show? Have they shown this before? Have they ever shown her birthday before?
