Set in Texas, an animated series follows the life of propane salesman Hank Hill, who lives with his substitute-teacher wife Peggy, wannabe comedian son Bobby, and deadbeat niece Luanne. Hank has strikingly stereotypical views about God and country but is unpretentious and sees the world simply.

Chris Vognar South Florida Sun-Sentinel King of the Hill continues to hit the funny bone because it's more real and touching than any non-animated comedy on the air. Aug 27, 2019 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News Other than a joke at the expense of an easy target -- the Dallas Cowboys -- and on-the-mark dig at the National Rifle Association, most of the episode shoots blanks. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 27, 2019 Full Review Tal Blevins IGN Movies While the characters were still coming into their own in season one, the second season is where the show really gelled, and the characters were molded into how we know them today.

Audience Member King of the Hill had a great first season, but its second year was even more successful in crafting its unique voice. Every episode is top-tier for the series, and the writers really went out with some simply ingenious concept (Jumpin' Crack Bass is quite possibly the single most brilliant episode in the series' lengthy run). It also ends with a particularly striking cliffhanger, that for its time was particularly ballsy for an animated series to include. Two decades later, King of the Hill ranks neck-to-neck with the golden years of The Simpsons as one of the best animated sitcoms of all time! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
