King of the Hill is another animation hit from Beavis and Butthead creator Mike Judge, who also voices the starring character Hank Hill, a propane gas salesman in the fictional town Arlen, Texas. Hank is often besieged by the idiosyncrasies of society, but he finds (some) serenity in his home-life with his wife, substitute Spanish teacher Peggy, his awkward son Bobby and his live-in niece-in-law Luanne Platter. Adding flavor to the ordinary dish the series serves are Hank's friends, divorcee military barber Bill Dauterive, paranoid Dale Gribble (with an obsession with Government conspiracy theories) and gibberish spouting Boomhauer.

On April 4th 2008, FOX renewed the series for a 13th season.


FOX has aired 253 of the 255 total episodes after the 13th season wrapped on May 17, leaving two episodes still yet to air. It's understood however that producer 20th Century Fox Television kept the show in production for four additional episodes (DABE14-DABE17) bringing its actual total to 259. The network nevertheless has yet to license those extra episodes, meaning as few as two or as many as six could still air.

  9 Superb

  This show is about a propane salesmen named Hank Hill. Hank is thrown into odd situations by his crazy friends: Bill, Boomhauer, and Dale. Hank has trouble understanding his son who loves comedy while Hank is a serious man. hide « show »

  This show is brilliant, it may not have the cartoonishness of the simpsons, or the cutaway gags of Family guy but this show still succeds due to its suttle humor and story driven plots. While I don't think the show is as funny as the Simpsons or other cartoon sitcoms, I like it more because of its ability to be real and funny at the same time. Another charm of the show is how it actually has much continuity with stories carring over into more than one episode and major changes being made such as Bobby ageing, several characters being born, a wedding and much, much more. If you are looking for a show that is cleaver and charming look no further than King of the Hill.

  4.5 Poor

  This show is not pretty good,but it's still funny. hide « show »

  I don't pretty much like this show and I think it's pretty much funny on fox.
  
  Well,I still like The Simpsons and Family Guy and they're all on Fox,but this show is not pretty much good on that channel.
  
  It's still pretty much funny on what funny on what it does all the time and it did what it did on Family Guy or The Simpsons.It does the thing where every time a scene ends,it's really funny.
  
  This show is not that good and I give it a C because not only it did not so well,it was pretty much funny too.

  10 Perfect

  Only one episode flawed. hide « show »

  The whole series was good,but the season nine finale is going to have some probems here.Why do they put the army in the episode when it's mainly about chorusing?!Anyways,very good show.My favorite episode is Bobby On Track,which is just before my least favorite.My least favorite comes just right after my favorite,Bobby On Track.My least favorite is Don't Stop Until The Fat Neighbor Sings.Just way past its prime.WAY past.But other than that episode,perfect.Propane Boom I and II are like those two-part episodes with the first as a season finale and the second as the following season's premiere.That's it of another great review!

  A fond farewell to a show that's no longer in danger of overstaying it's welcome. hide « show »

  King of the Hill has had a good long run, was genuinely funny for most of that run and is leaving the scene at about the right time. Recent episodes have led me to believe that the writers are beginning to reach for material and the series could be in danger of becoming a stale embarrassment if it were allowed to continue. That would be a terrible shame. I've been a big fan of Mike Judge ever since Bevis and Butthead (another series that was allowed to expire in a timely fashion before becoming stale)and would hate to see someone as talented as that get into a rut. If I were Mike, I would strongly consider a Bevis and Butthead re-union show during the haitus created by the cancellation of King of the Hill, the possibilities involved with a middle aged Bevis and Butthead could be a real scream if given a well thought out and energetic treatment by Judgemental Productions!

  King of the Hill is about Hank Hill,his wife Peggy and son Bobby Hill live in Arlen,Texas. hide « show »

  I actully thought one time it was worse than the newer Family Guy episodes.Then I looked at KOTH again and realized that KOTH have decent writing,and it's better than Family Guy.It's more original,and have better plots,than Family Guy.It's a decent cartoon,but don't expect the same type of humor like Family Guy or South Park.It can get dull at times.This show should not been canceled,it should had been Family Guy.It's probaly the most underrated adult -animated cartoon ever.Some of the characters are funny,like Bill.The hill favorate NFL team is the Dallas Cowboys.Hank don't like Houston Texas.Mike Judge,you deserved a pat on the back. This is LSUstinks11 tell you have a nice day.
