The time skip feels natural, and even though I was initially skeptical about the premise that Hank and Peggy moved to Saudi Arabia for years (seems so out of character for them), I now appreciate how it allows us to see the Hills react to the ways life in the US has changed. It was a great choice.
I am too... It's really distracting. The original voice actor nailed the right voice for the character.
But he seemed to have forgotten the voice.
Oh wait, are the first few episodes him? Whoa, I guess he either did forget or aging did a number on him.
Maybe my headcanon can be that the years of smoking caught up with Dale.
Apparently it was the original voice actor Johnny Hardwick on the first three episodes and episodes five to seven.
That's perfect. It's now my headcanon too.
