If you mean why is the show back I think I have a fair idea. Mike's efforts after the cancelation of King of the Hill have mor eor less fallen out of favor or failed completly, and as a relaunch of KOH is out of the question with the passing of one of the main voiceactors I can see how going back to what gave him his start with more experinece and a waiting fanbase would seem like a sure bet for a steady paycheck.
I watched it today it was funny, I never really watched the originals, these new ones might be worth watching even though they are on MTV.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!
the new B&B seemed kinda weak to me but I'll keep on watching to see how things progress. On another note, Butthead sounded like Butthead but Beavis seemed a little off with his voice.

Now lets see if they let Beavis say "Fire fire fire!" again. I remember when he stopped saying it because some kid burned his house down and claimed Beavis made him do it...

Well that has yet to be proven. In fact I think we were smarter back then. You know, when Music Television actually played music. We can't even get that right now.

Brittany Murphy wasn't a main voice actor, and Luanne wasn't a main character, at least not in the latter half of the series. You can tell this because, unlike anyone in the main cast, her character was allowed to have actual changes in her status quo after season six. That was around the time that Mike Judge stopped being the main story guy, and the showrunners after him effectively halted all progression on the main cast. They even did mostly without her for a couple of seasons when she was the "it girl" of Hollywood.|

I'd say that King of the Hill would be last on the list of properties that Mike Judge would want to revive because of the way that Fox pushed him out of the creative lead on the series. I have doubts that he would even want to write for the stuck-in-limbo characters that he had created and developed over the first few seasons now.

Ah well, I'd watch it anyway if we even got MTV here, but I'm not payin' for a channel I'd never watch for any other reason.
