“New” Episodes

I like to watch Adult Swim, which is a programming block on Cartoon Network that has interesting and humorous animated shows. They often pick up shows from other networks, as they’ve done with Family Guy, Futurama, and King of the Hill. The latter is the most recent show they have adapted, and they keep saying, “New episode of King of the Hill” or, as I just saw, “Three New episodes of King of the Hill Premiere Tonight.”

I find this somewhat misleading, as these episodes are far from new. In fact, the ones they are referring to came out between eight and ten years ago. Perhaps these episodes are new for the network, but they are not new to the general population, and that is what matters.
