KOTH: The Company Man
All Jesus did that day was tell stories--a long storytelling afternoon.
Episode #12 (rank #120) 12/7/1997
Hank tries to get the propane account with Mr. Holloway, a visiting businessman from Boston. Holloway has stereotypical ideas about Texas and is disappointed that Hank doesn't live up to the stereotype. So Hank must swallow his pride and act like a "cowboy" to get the account.
Analysis:
Hank sells out to land an important business account all the while compromising virtue & his principles in front of Bobby who's working an a Sunday School report about his hero...his daddy. This shows the very depths that we'll go to, to accomplish some good things at the cost of losing our first love & integrity. In the end Hank realizes that nothing is worth paying that high of a price. So should we.
I'm holding fast to my integrity and not loosening my grip-- and, believe me, I'll never regret it.

One of my favortie episodes.
What else do you like to watch?
i like to watch most 'reality' reality shows just to get to understand where people are coming from...
i see most of those as a case study in human behavior...
this is necessary i believe to be able to find some sense of commonality w/folks from which i can relate to them better & hopefully do likewise w/my faith...
