It's quite a fun show, even heart-warming at times :-)))

The Texas dialect is annoying enough to some of us Yankees, but there's one
character, a friend of Hank's named Boomhauer (as I hear it), who is all but
incomprehensible, yet apparently speaks an authentic Texas dialect.  Just
wait till you hear him!!! :-)))

(The late Molly Ivins, a Texan, and liberal commentator, once remarked of
some Texas legislator, "My God, there are actually people who talk like
Boomhauer!!")
