Here I am doing yet another thread related to King of the Hill. Well, actually, it's based on a spin-off of a potential series that had a pilot.
Many years ago, I did a thread based on the pilot for the spin-off. For years, I had heard that a pilot was produced, with a cast and everything. It had become a piece of lost media, with only a small clip having surfaced. However, I recently found that the pilot was posted on YouTube.
After having watched it, I can see that there was a more comedic approach to it, almost as if it was a self-aware parody. If you think about it, those small clips that are shown in some King of the Hill episodes are so over-the-top that they're filled with typical action movie tropes that it's almost a parody within itself. I also felt that this show had potential. But from what I understood, it seemed that Mike Judge scrapped it because the people at Fox didn't want to offend some Christians and Catholics (FYI, I'm not making this about religion; this is only what I had heard) with its portrayal of a guy dressed like a priest killing bad guys. That's only what I heard, though.
Oh, and one more thing, vaya con Dios.
