If you recognized that quote, you are obviously a fan of "King of the Hill". This animated series is the second longest one to be running behind perennial favourite "The Simpsons". While the latter is over the top and relies on in-jokes, jabs, impossible situations and a twisted imagination at times (just check the Hallowe'en specials to see what I mean), KOTH is more of an everyday story of the everyman, his job, his family and his friends.
In the incredible eleven years it has been on TV, there is nearly a storyline or situation that has not been or could not be duplicated in real life. About the only standout thing is that Dale, no matter how stupid a redneck, could not possible have not figured out by now that John Redcorn diddled his wife and that his son Joesph was not his as a result. Everything else from the mower races (they have them), to the weirdo army dude (they have them), to the misguided substitute teacher who does not really know how to speak Spanish (they have them), to the buxom blond with a somewhat clueless outlook on life (they've got the market cornered), to the obsession with lawn care, to the drinking in the alley to just about everything that has been shown in all the episodes.
If you have not really watched the show, give it a chance with the new season. If it catches on with you, the first few seasons are out on DVD and you can always catch reruns several times a day in syndication (but they won't be in seasonal order).
Ciao.
