Lasting xiii seasons, King of the Hill is an Emmy honour-winning boob tube show near everyday life in fictional Arlen, Texas. Focusing on Hank Hill, his family, and the neighbors, the show has lived on, non only through internet memes but besides in syndication where there's non a lot of need for pristine continuity, of which the show has piddling of.

While the majority of the testify has a logical continuity, in that location's notwithstanding enough of inconsistencies that are too glaring to overlook every bit they just make no sense. Sometimes information technology'south a question of ambiguity and sometimes it's a retcon of the characters.

10 Why Doesn't Hank Recognize The Social Worker From The Airplane pilot?

In the kickoff episode of Male monarch of the Hill, Hank had CPS called on him over an unfounded rumor that he had given Bobby a blackness eye. The caseworker, Anthony, tried to have Bobby away but mishandled the chore and the episode ended with him returning to L.A. Still, Anthony shows upwards later in the serial where he comes face-to-face with Hank again, but Hank doesn't seem to recognize him at all. Why didn't Hank call back the guy who tried to have his son away?

9 Does Joseph Know That John Redcorn Is His Father Or Not?

A running joke throughout King of the Loma is the fact that John Redcorn is so conspicuously the biological male parent of Dale Gribble'south son, Joseph. This fact completely flies over the heads of both Joseph and Dale, despite Dale beingness the about paranoid graphic symbol on the show (and maybe in Telly history).

In the season 5 Thanksgiving episode, it's implied that Nancy has finally told Joseph that he's related to John Redcorn based on subtext from a spoken language that Joseph gives, simply it'southward still cryptic.

8 Why Does Hank Love Willie Nelson?

There's an episode early in the series where we larn that Hank's hero is none other than fellow Texan and country music legend Willie Nelson. Yes, Willie is a proud Texan just like Hank merely other than this, why exactly would Hank, the nigh conservative, direct-edge person around, think of Willie Nelson as a hero? Willie Nelson famously smokes pot and owed thousands of dollars to the IRS in the early 90s, so he really doesn't seem like someone that good 'ole Hank would admire.

7 What'due south The Deal With Cotton's Final Resting Place?

This is something regarding Cotton Hill that makes no sense mainly because information technology completely forgets the continuity fix in motion from 9 seasons earlier. Mode back in flavor iv, Peggy helped Cotton get a grave spot at the Texas Land Cemetery. Notwithstanding, in season thirteen, Hank learns that he must flush Cotton's ashes downwards a toilet at some bar that General Patton used one time upon a fourth dimension. There is no mention of the previous cemetery plot at all, making information technology such a glaring continuity mistake.

half dozen Is Didi Older Than Hank Or Not?

Cotton Hill has a much younger second married woman named Didi who shows upwardly every now and then on the evidence, just in that location are some contradictions as to how old she is. In season i, Peggy says that Didi is 39-years-old, but in the same episode, Hank mentions that he and Didi were in kindergarten together, making them the same historic period. However, it's after mentioned that Hank is 45-years-sometime, and and then in season 4, information technology's mentioned that she'south older than Peggy, who is about Hank'southward age.

5 Peggy's History With Boys Contradicts Itself

Early in the series, Peggy told Luanne, "I never even kissed a male child until I was 20." Nonetheless, Peggy and Hank met and began dating when the 2 of them were teenagers, which would hateful that Peggy had kissed someone other than Hank years after the two of them started dating. Some other snag in continuity is when it's revealed that Peggy lost her virginity to another boy before she had even met Hank. Perchance she was lying to Luanne, but it nonetheless makes no sense.

4 What's The Deal With Peggy's Mother

In before seasons, there were flashbacks to Peggy's mother, Maddy, and she even shows upward at the Hill firm to visit Bobby in flavour 2. Yet, in flavor 9, Peggy gets a telephone call from her mother in Montana, and it's evidently the first time they've spoken in twenty years, which makes admittedly no sense since there'due south an unabridged episode virtually them visiting Peggy'due south female parent for Thanksgiving. Along with these narrative headaches, the writers made Peggy'southward mother way harsher than previously shown in the serial.

3 Had Hank Met Peggy's Brother Earlier Or Not?

When it comes to Peggy'due south family, her mother isn't the only question mark in the series. In the season 12 finale, Luanne'southward begetter Hoyt finally makes an appearance on the show, after only being mentioned.

However, King of the Loma's just Hoyt-centered episode is filled with contradictions to what was already established. Not just is there a contradiction over the last time he saw Luanne, but Hank besides says that it'south the first fourth dimension he'due south meeting Hoyt, which is wrong since Hoyt attended their wedding.

two When Did Peggy Motility To Arlen?

Another hole that opens up in the Rex of the Hill continuity is Peggy's upbringing. Information technology's e'er been canon that Peggy was originally from Montana and at some point, her family unit moved to Arlen where she met Hank in loftier school. There's never an caption equally to why the Platters had moved to Texas and left the cattle ranch that was introduced in season 9. At that place'due south an allusion to Peggy running abroad to Texas, which complicates things since flashbacks show her mother lived in Arlen.

1 Why Do Hank & Junichiro Await Alike?

In flavor 6, it'southward revealed that Hank has an older half-brother from when his father Cotton fiber Colina was in Japan. When Hank and his brother Junichiro meet, the 2 look about exactly alike - same face shape, aforementioned nose, same cheeks, and same "fat neck" as Cotton would say. But, this makes no sense. Hank doesn't expect like Cotton fiber - he looks more like his mother, Tilly - so why would Junichiro also wait like Tilly? It would make more sense for Junichiro to expect like Cotton or Bobby.
