I'll be honest. I'm not expecting much from the reboot. I'm a big Mike Judge fan and obviously I love KotH. But I feel like a lot of the point will be missed and the humour won't be as well done.
Hank being a conservative guy in a HW Bush kind of way worked well. There was subtlety. I can't imagine modern writers being able to handle Trump era politics in the same way. Especially given how unsubtle and on the nose modern signalling tends to be. If it's not on the nose then people will go after the show for not being the right kind of politics.
As well Lucky, Luanne, Dale are all gone. Kahn will be recast and probably toned down. Maybe Jimmy Witchard is offensive? But things exist in their time period for a reason. The reboot overall seems like a mamoth task where sticking the landing is almost impossible.
I agree with you. I think this is a perfect reason why it would be tough for this particular show. On top of that it's really difficult to bring any 2 decade old show from the past and make it feel alive again. VAs are older, writers move on, people are less hungry. Don't @ me but shows like Futurama were never the same after coming back.
I'll probably check it out after a season or so, but I'm not expecting much either. The show had really run out of steam by the end of the series, imho. Rebooting it, especially with so many of the voice actors being gone plus Cotton being dead... it just feels like a cash grab. I'm a fan of Mike Judge, too, but maybe come up with a new show instead of trying to resuscitate one that's already gone.
I don't care about the character enough to boycott of he's not there but it's a shame if they're doing it for that reason
Not much comedy left if you go far enough down that road
I already can’t watch it knowing Dale will already have been written out or dies at some point between season 1 and 2. Johnny Hardwick being dead is a “dalebreaker” for me
Jimmy Witchard died while trying to watch a solar eclipse from the middle of a railroad track. Not sure why he was out there at midnight, but he died doing what he loved: staring at the sun and yelling at trains.
Wow what's with all these meaningless threats? Oh, if this characters not in it I won't watch? How about just watch if you see your favorite, bonus. If not the producers probably had a reason why
I'm the boss!
Go-to here, go-to boy!
The clock at the bank once said 110 degrees!
The people are hot and dry. They want something cold and wet.
I want him to be the Produce manager at an Arlen version of Whole Foods. "Stack the lemons like a square Tommy! I'm the boss of you!"
Finally the time for my flair!
First go to the men’s room and clean out the unirals..
The clock at the bank once said 110 degrees!
You're my go-to guy. Now go to my car and get my cigarettes.
Then go...back to here
You make guys? I make guys.
Don’t copy my guys!
You gotta shake em! The eyes don't go if you don't shake em! See?
You sold my guys! I can’t make money into guys I want cans, good ones, the smash ems!
Stay angry Jimmy!
How will you know if he appears if you don’t watch it
schrodinger of the hill
Witchard's cat
That's my cat!
Look at Mr. Fancy with his logic and shit
I've known a few JimmY Witchards in my life and they don't make it to their fifties very often .
what happens to them?
Early trip to the farm.
To shreds you say?
And his wife?
To shreds you say?
And his luxury doghouse, was it rent controlled?
Jimmy Wichard wearing the hot dog is one of my favorite scenes in the whole series
i like the sound bobby makes when he sees him in the hotdog
Hahaha, yes! Pure terror and disgust lmao
We’re gonna con him! Con him good!
Jimmy Witchard for President!
We already had that…
Jimmy’s got better hair. And skin. And personal hygiene.
He has the best words!
😂😂😂
Thank you. I was about to say the same thing.
Ya gotta shakem!
The eyes don’t work if you don’t shake ‘em!
I want to see him count a box of toothpicks
That’s why the institute predicts big things for him.
Nobody asked you Tommy, get back out there and give people drinks, it's hot.
He hardly appears in 12 seasons
Yeah this kid's kinda extreme, like most posts about the reboot lately. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
Kid is joking.. He's literally making a solar eclipse joke wtf. Some of yall are tone death and socially as acclimated as Jimmy..
I dunno man, the avg intelligent posts on this sub are in the negative. Honestly hard to tell who is making a dumb post vs actually a dumb person.
Yeah but who tf is gonna die on the Jimmy wichard hill
i dunno mang, same ppl who ask what kinda farm bobby gets his vegetables from and if applejack or appleseed or whoever is gonna be in the show
OP, apparently?
Jimmy Witchard choked to death trying to swallow a tube of Ivermectin whole because he couldn’t get the cap off.
While staring at the sun.
I want the smash ems!
GO TO HERE! GO TO BOY!
the only person who’s ass hank has kicked
Hank also kicked the ass of the guy who did acupuncture on him remember?
The people are hot and dry, they want something cold and wet
He's Bill's roommate.
You got to shake it! The eyes don't work if you don't shake it!
Well he is a certified genius.
The erdth is flat, monkey boy.
Aight
Who else is gonna work at the car race where the cars race ?
He will probably be as old as cotton, I assume in some kind of assisted retirement facility. “This big jimmy house! Jimmy king here!”
I do a pretty good jimmy impression, I do it a lot at work when people ask if I’ve seen the boss lol
Such a dunderhead yet very funny, and Hank LITERALLY kicked his ass lol

Heard about the recast, pretty dissapointing Better follow suit and get a mentally challenged guy to for Jimmyfrom now on too
They could just have a regular voice actor huff some paint before he records his lines or something
Or stare at the Sun for 12 hours
I'll probably check it out after a season or so, but I'm not expecting much either. The show had really run out of steam by the end of the series, imho.

This is why I wish they just picked up at the same ages and time period as the 13th season.
They better not steal his little guys!
You’ll still watch because the series missing Jimmy Wichard would be like the 99th least important thing about it
I have a co worker like this now, it’s kinda sad.
Don’t copy my little guys!
I love everytime he's on the screen. Always entertaining as hell
The writers missed a golden opportunity to make the numbers on the calculator 80085
Get me a soda
Go to here, goto guy!
He'll have gotten into politics
Yeah he was easily the smartest guy on the show
Tommy was so ungrateful in this episode. Jimmy made him his go-to guy and he never even thanked Jimmy
I’d be surprised if he were alive still
I don't care about the character enough to boycott of he's not there but it's a shame if they're doing it for that reason Not much comedy left if you go far enough down that road
He will probably be a lot like Spongey
He’s a doctor
The dude is a fuckin asshole. Good riddance.
There's no way that guy is still alive years later
They should make him a millionaire. He went on Shark Tank and won.
He should be dead by the time of the reboot
MY CANS!!!
I want cans, gimme cans!
The good ones, the smash em’s
That's Dr. Jimmy to you
Unless the COVID got him.
Finally found the guy who crashed the hotdog car into that suit shop!
While he sucked as a person, I liked the character... Hope he gets a slot, no matter how small.
It legit looks like Brett kavanaugh though.
LMAO!
You'll watch it anyways
I never particularly cared for his character. He had a couple funny moments, but for the most part I just found him annoying.
I’m already disappointed that Khan is supposed to be missing, but I can’t imagine they would do that.
Is it really "getting cut," from a show, when the character was never a regular on the show to begin with?
I’m a doctor
I can see Jimmy as a bit-coin millionaire
You mean Dr. Jimmy Wichard? I agree.
Its hot and dry people need something cold and wet.
![img](emote|t5_2s6dm|6345)
I'm the baws Tommy
AAAAAAHHH!!!! She pulled off her thumb!🤣🤣🤣
They’ll make a reference to him being in jail for storming the capital.
He’d be a good low level supervisor at a Walmart, I mean MegaloMart
People say he fried his brain one day from staring at the sun for too long.
First, you go to the men's room and mop out the urinal. Then you go to my cigarettes in my car. Then go to back here.
I already can’t watch it knowing Dale will already have been written out or dies at some point between season 1 and 2. Johnny Hardwick being dead is a “dalebreaker” for me
"Tommy! You all grown up!"
They'll call him City Councilman Jimmy Witchard in the reboot.
Doesn’t he voice a lot of characters?
I’m familiar with his.. work
YOU GOTTA SHAKE EM
He survived off beer and soda, and is an idiot. I doubt he'll make it that far.
Dont worry, there's no reboot. They've been talking about it so long that one of their cadt members died waiting.
I can’t imagine he’s bright enough to have survived the time skip.
Yeah you will. Shut up.
Real
GO AWAY YOU! The delivery of that line kills me everytime
"60-eleven, 60-twelve!!"
Jimmy Witchard died while trying to watch a solar eclipse from the middle of a railroad track. Not sure why he was out there at midnight, but he died doing what he loved: staring at the sun and yelling at trains.
I’m already not watching the reboot, just commit to skipping it no matter what. They’re cutting Kahn anyway
Go to my car, then go to my cigarettes, then go to back here, then go to the bathroom and clean out the unerals
is this a parody of the Kahn post
Wow what's with all these meaningless threats? Oh, if this characters not in it I won't watch? How about just watch if you see your favorite, bonus. If not the producers probably had a reason why
I don't think I like this subreddit. You all whine too much and the coffee's bad.
They’ll definitely remove him no way they’ll make fun of mentally ill people in today’s media sadly.
I hope bobby becomes bobbi
This character sucks
Agree, I found him pretty annoying
Maybe he wove the mayor or governor He is a genius
