Overview

King of the Hill is an American animated sitcom that originally aired on Fox from January 12, 1997, to September 13, 2009, with additional episodes airing in syndication in May 2010. The series was created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels and follows the life of Hank Hill, a propane salesman living in Arlen, Texas. Hank is married to Peggy, an overly confident substitute Spanish teacher, and they reside with their son Bobby, who aspires to be a comedian, and Hank's naive niece Luanne. The show centers around Hank's interactions with his family and his group of beer-drinking neighbors and friends. While Hank holds conservative views on God, family, and country, he frequently encounters situations that challenge his values and ethics. The series portrays everyday life in a suburban Texas setting, highlighting both the mundane and unusual circumstances that arise in Hank's community. It was produced for Fox and later continued in syndication before concluding with a final set of episodes. The show is available for streaming and can also be purchased on DVD.
