Hank was by far the most active at reaching out to Kahn, so it doesn't surprise me he's regressed, especially since he's got so much humiliation to project on to others. LIke everyone else, I hate his new voice acting and assume that's why he was only in one episode.
It's as good as ever, the 1st episode is the weakest due to all the exposition, but it's still great.
The original VA for Hank's neighbour Dale was dying so sounds noticably different to the new VA who does a great impression of the actor in his prime. They recast a few of the now grown up kids and gave Ted Wassanasong a dedicated actor. Bobby and Peggy have their original actresses though maybe you're right about pitchshifting Bobby to come as more mature. I've already mentioned Kahn's new VA sucks, but if the performance of a secondary character in just one episode is the worst thing about the revival then it is great overall.
Now is the perfect time to quit watching South Park. The new season has been unwatchable garbage so far.
This is extremely nitpicky, but my experience with Gen X tells me that Hank would never realistically hold a mug like that.
They really showed Phil by giving him another credit and paycheck.You know what I found really funny about the whole "characters can only being voiced by VAs of the same race" thing? Besides casting Khan as an Asian guy who isn't even Laotian (still hilarious), there's episode three:
Bobby has to find an authentic Japanese charcoal supplier and his only option is this ultra-protective Japanese guy who will only sell to other genuine Japanese businesses.
The bit? He's black. Raised in Japan sure, but racially black.

It's kinda funny on it's own but I feel like they could have done more with this and actually made some sharper commentary.
Anyways, you wanna know who voices him? Phil LaMarr. Famous for voice acting Samurai Jack, a Japanese character voiced by a black guy

The sheer absurdity of it all is killing me.
Yeah, people in this thread are WAY too kind to this reboot. Its a very mixed bag with lots of lows and only some highs.

It doesn't seem that bad at first but a 50/50 good bad episode ratio is quite low for a Mike Judge production.
Squirrel Tactics is great. Haven't seen the other ones but I'll check them out.
I agree. Some of the comments in this thread made me wonder if we were actually watching the same show. This reboot is on par with the weaker episodes on the final couple seasons of the original run when the budgets were cut and most of the episodes were generic slice of life episodes where nothing interesting was going on. I get that the bar gets lower and lower with each year but saying it’s as good as ever is just wrong.
The issue is there is no reason to revive a show that has been off the air for nearly twenty years just for it to be "okay" at best. All these revivals being put now and days are just soulless cash grabs by a creatively dead industry trying to further milk household name franchises that have already been milked dry.
the reason is a creativally dead industry yes
Oh shit, you're right. For some reason everywhere I checked online said LaMarr voiced him. Turns out I'm a retard though.
