Prepare for the Hilarious Heights of "The Son Also Roses"!
Ever wondered what happens when Bobby Hill gets a crush on a girl who's, well, a *little* different? Get ready to find out! Season 6, Episode 8 of King of the Hill, "The Son Also Roses," is a total laugh riot. It's all about Bobby's first brush with young love.
Bobby Falls Head Over Heels (Sort Of)
Bobby's got a new classmate, Marie. She's into the Renaissance, collects dolls, and... well, let's just say she's not exactly *popular*. He starts spending time with her and her quirky mom.
Hank, of course, is completely baffled. He doesn't quite understand Marie's interests, or Bobby's sudden fascination with them. This leads to some seriously awkward but hilarious situations.
Hank's Hilarious Reactions
Hank's discomfort is pure comedic gold. He tries so hard to connect with Marie. But his attempts at Renaissance-era small talk fall flat, creating some of the show's best moments.
He just can't wrap his head around Marie's world. His commentary is priceless and utterly relatable. Who hasn't felt like that awkward dad trying to understand their kid's unusual interests?
Peggy's "Helpful" Advice
And then there's Peggy. She jumps headfirst into trying to "help" Bobby navigate this new relationship. Her advice? Let's just say it's as misguided and overconfident as you'd expect from Peggy Hill.
She has some strong ideas about raising successful children. It's up to you, and Bobby, to decide what success even means!
Why This Episode Rocks

Marie's Mom: A Character You Won't Forget
Marie's mom, Mrs. Whittleman, is a standout character. She's eccentric, passionate about her hobbies, and fiercely protective of her daughter.
She brings a unique energy to the episode. She also has a very different outlook from those in Arlen. She's a breath of fresh air, even if Hank doesn't quite know what to make of her.
