When the show got uncancelled by Fox, this scene was removed. ![]() The Season 11 episode " Lucky's Wedding Suit", which was originally intended to the series final, had an ending scene in the alley which explained that the episodes "Yankee Hankee" and "Tankin' It to the Streets" were just dreams Bill had after eating at a Hungarian restaurant. In a retrospective 2009 article, Jaime Weinman of Canadian magazine Maclean's had a more critical view of the season, writing that "the show continues to have some of the story arcs and emotional development (including having Bobby break up with his girlfriend) but the wackiness gets seriously out of hand: one episode combines a secret brainwashing cult and a car full of birds ( emus, to be precise) in the same story." It has been mentioned that Mike Judge wasn't pleased with the overall direction of King of the Hill in the early 2000s, and that some involved with the show disliked the episodes "Returning Japanese", "Tankin' It to the Streets" and "Yankee Hankee" (from Season 5), due to their outlandish plots and the changes they made to the show's continuity. This role reversal is potentially clever, especially when Peggy’s decency, like Hank’s, is allowed to shine through." In his 2006 review for the DVD release, IGN's Tal Blevins labelled it "a great season with no real stinkers." Blevins praised the episode "Bobby Goes Nuts", commenting that it "includes one of the most memorable lines ever uttered on television." In his review of the Season 6 DVD, Jesse Hassenger of PopMatters described "Bobby Goes Nuts" as one of "the show’s finest episodes." Hassenger also observed that, "by season six, Peggy’s scales have tipped towards buffoonery she essentially plays the bumbling, dim husband role. Those plotlines sound as desperate as this Tuesday’s episode of Frasier, in which Frasier stumbles into bed with Roz." Smith noted that King of the Hill "wasn’t always easy to love at first, today – six seasons later – stands out as one of the most creative and best-written shows on TV." In November 2001, Hal Boedeker of the Orlando Sentinel gave the season opener "Bobby Goes Nuts" a positive review, and described Fox's programming that night as "highly uneven: a clever King of the Hill, a mediocre Simpsons, an amusing Malcolm in the Middle and a pointless X-Files." Boedeker went on to write, "the sixth-season opener of King of the Hill manages the considerable feat of being more diverting than The Simpsons, and it does it with one of the hoariest bits of humor: the kick in the groin." The New York Post's Austin Smith praised the season final "Returning Japanese" in May 2002, writing that, "the episode figures to be the best of the season finales the networks have in store this week – cleverer by far than this Thursday’s baby hijinks on NBC’s Friends and Will & Grace. Many episodes were rewritten heavily after the animatics, to the point that Fox often announced plots that were different from the ones that aired. Greg Daniels temporarily ran the show again following Aibel and Berger's departure, and the duo would eventually be replaced by John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky for Season 7 and beyond. Aibel and Berger departed in late 2001, as a result of unspecified tensions behind the scenes. The showrunners for the season were Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, who took over from Richard Appel, the showrunner of Season 5 and co-showrunner of Seasona 3-4 with Greg Daniels. The Region 1 DVD was released on May 2, 2006. ( EST) on the Fox Broadcasting Company from November 11, 2001, to May 12, 2002.
