Toon Rock: Meet The Dale Gribble Bluegrass Experience (King of The Hill, 2002)

Yee-haw! It should surprise, well, no one, that the soundtrack of King of The Hill would not only have pop and alternative rock, but also some serious country flavor.

Hank Hill (series creator/co-executive producer Mike Judge) and pals form a bluegrass band to support young Connie, a violin/fiddle prodigy who wants to gain a little independence from her strict father. So, the gang heads off to Branson, Missouri for a bluegrass competition. Unfortunately, as we'll see, ultra-patriotic, ultra xenophobic Dale lets his mouth get him in trouble again.

Vince Gill, Charlie Daniels, and comedian Yakov Smirnoff guest as themselves in "The Bluegrass is Always Greener".



I was half expecting Bill to request "Do The Bear", but that would be on another Fox show (i.e. Family Guy), if they wanted to try that.

Rating: B.

No cable, phairhead? Can't afford it or a satellite?

Won't pay for it. I don't need to be needlessly sodomized by the cable company

Sodomized? Are they overcharging for services where you are?
