The release of the long-gestating “King of The Hill” revival is just around the corner. Hulu has released a revamped opening credit sequence that raises so many questions. Like…did Hank and Peggy Hill briefly move out of their home? And who is that new guy in the alley? Granted the show went off the air in 2009 and a lot has changed to say the least. The series’ resident conspiracy nut, Dale Gribble, seems tame after things like the birther movement and the rise of flat-earthers. Even the perpetually baby-face Bobby Hill is now a 21-year-old man, so some updated…

Actor Kel Mitchell is teasing launching his own line of cola based on the running gag from the sitcom, “Kenan & Kel.” During an appearance at 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut Mitchell led the crowd in a chant of “Who loves orange soda?
