DALE TURNS INTO A BASKET CASE ON "KING OF THE HILL" SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16, ON FOX

When the Gribbles experience financial trouble due to Dale's slow extermination business, Peggy suggests he participate in a program where people go on vacation to learn different trades -- a "Vocation Vacation." She encourages Hank to accompany him, and to Hank's disappointment, Dale signs them up for his hobby and lifelong professional dream of basket weaving. While Hank's work is admired by the teacher, Dale's work is looked at as less appealing. When Hank is given the opportunity to fill in for ill factory workers and is offered a permanent job, Dale tries to run him over with a tractor so he can have the job himself. But Hank helps him face the hard truth that he isn't very good at basket weaving. To restore Dale's confidence, Hank and the instructor pretend that beetles have infested the factory, and Dale "saves the day" by performing an extermination. A couple of basket weaving participants become curious about Dale's work and he lands a job after all -- as a "Vocation Vacations" teacher of extermination. Meanwhile, Peggy helps Bill and Kahn create an internet video where Bill's hat seemingly blows off his head and lands on Kahn's in the "Dream Weaver" episode of KING OF THE HILL airing Sunday, Dec. 16 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
