History Recap / KingOfTheHillS3E3PeggysHeadache

* ThoughtTheyKnewAlready: When Hank informs Peggy of Nancy's affair with John Redcorn, it's very clear from the tone of the conversation that he thinks she already knows and is just playing dumb.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny [[invoked]]: Doyle Harcavy is a legend in writing musings. Peggy gets frustrated in writing these musings and in a rant, she says he wasn't that good. While Peggy was speaking in frustration, Bobby actually seems to think he wasn't that good, criticizing his coffee bit.
