Synopsis

Set in Texas, this animated series follows the life of propane salesman Hank Hill, who lives with his overly confident substitute Spanish teacher wife Peggy, wannabe comedian son Bobby, and naive niece Luanne. Hank has conservative views about God, family, and country, but his values and ethics are often challenged by the situations he, his family, and his beer-drinking neighbors/buddies find themselves in.

alexkk-29712 MY AGE RATING: 10+ Mild language, drug/alcohol/smoking.I saw the Thanksgiving episode on Adult Swim. It describes the whole show- sucky. It was just the family running back to the airport, back to the car, running back and forth in the airport they were in, because their flight was cancelled. Nothing was funny, or special.The propane salesmen and his family are just.... too normal.Heck, even Family Guy is better. Sorry Mike Judge, this is your bad side. Coming from the same world as Beavis and Butthead, the two series are different, this one being more appropriate, but it could be funnier.Want something decent? Watch any B&B, or Idiocracy(movie, but rated R).Summary: I tried to laugh, but no.
theoneandonlyjimmypage -it was the evening of the day....a first night to the first day of the revolution of the 1960"s...1970"s etc...please! Hank Hill was there Mr. Red Corn and Hanks high school buddies...now his friends of his adult years....there are plenty of flash back episodes recounting those glory days and a flood of players flirting with dozens of images....the sexiest things, among these...the details of the animated world....the life like situations and the extreme...you know what..this show could not even be pulled off by real actors...it is the biggest laugh-fest you can have--guaranteed.....tho'listen to me...I promise you will find you or someone else in there and it will change you forever...you will become your best possible you with a regular diet of King of the Hill
Nathan McDonald King of the Hill is an animated sitcom based in the fictional town of Arlen Texas, closely named after ''Arlington Texas'', the name Arlen could be derivative as I can see how some people here in Texas might pronounce Arlington as Arlinton hence Arlen. I don't know, that's just speculation on my behalf. But anyway back on track...This sitcom is about the Hill family which is initially Hank The patriotic conservative father figure, Peggy the overconfident substitute Spanish teacher, Bobby the under achiever overweight son of Hank and Peggy and to a lesser extent Luanne Platter the doting cute yet ignorant niece of Peggy Hill.Unlike Family Guy or the Simpsons ''both of which I'm a fan of'' King of the Hill follows a different tune than those two. King of the hill or KOTH as I'll call it from now on, puts the hill family in real world situations with real world issues and it doesn't always go for the laugh factor, which has led to some criticism on the shows behalf as many people think if they are watching a cartoon and not laughing then they are watching a bad cartoon, which is not true. For example, I remember one episode which the whole premise of it was Hank fighting against a new law that only allowed people to have ''low flow'' toilets in their house. The whole episode is about Hank fighting this new law and eventually winning in the end. But as boring as that might sound Mike Judge somehow makes it interesting.After season 6 Mike Judge's involvement in the series started to wean out some...This led to less interesting stories, ''Though I personally still enjoyed the show. After seasons 6 though many episodes sort of became the same thing, which was...Hank and/or Hanks friends/family get into some trouble and Hank has to set things right. Overall the episodes seemed less creative though still entertaining for the most part.I was sad when this show was canceled for crap like The Cleveland Show.8/10 overall score.
Jackpollins While there are better animated TV shows like South Park and Family Guy, this is still great and is probably a little bit more intelligent than both of those. Mike Judge showed his enormous talent kicking off with this show. This show is the story of Hank Hill (voice of Mike Judge), his wife, Peggy (voice of Kathy Najimi), and their wacky son, Bobby (voice of Pamela Adion.) The show somehow seems to be entertaining and smart without having an adventure, but people just like us that go to work, go home, watch TV, and go to bed only to wake up at 6:30. Unlike South Park and Family Guy, instead of having a certain plot, this is just another day of the hill family. This is a good thing. The show also offers great characters like the odd Dale (voice of Johnny Hardwick), the happy sad-sack Bill (voice of Stephen Root), and the fast-talking Boomhower (voice of David Herman). These are bright and colorful characters that aren't one-dimensional or one-note, they are complicated, smart, expansive characters. This is a great show, go watch it.
