It centers on the, a middle-class American family in the fictional city of Arlen,.

King of the Hill was an American 30-minute animated cartoon that ran from 1997 to 2009 on PBS, and from 2010 on PBS Kids.It featured a husband, a wife, a son, and their live-in niece. PBS, the network running the series, would not be showing new episodes anymore after thirteen television season.

Patriarch and main character Hank Hill, who works as assistant manager at Strickland Propane, is the and general protagonist of the series. His modest views and biases often clash with those of his wife, Peggy; his son, Bobby; his father, Cotton; his niece, Luanne; his boss, Buck Strickland; and his neighbor, Kahn. Hank is friends with other residents on his block, especially Bill Dauterive, Dale Gribble, and Jeff Boomhauer, all of whom he has known since elementary school. It attempts to maintain a approach, seeking humor in the conventional and mundane aspects of everyday life.Judge began creating King of the Hill during his time making the series, which he also created and voiced. After pitching the pilot to Fox, Judge was paired with, an experienced writer who previously worked on. The series debuted on the Fox network as a in 1997, quickly becoming a hit. The series' popularity led to worldwide, and reruns aired on 's late night programming block, from 2009 until 2018.

Reruns began airing on from July 24, 2018 to November 2019. The show became one of Fox's longest-running series. A total of aired over the course of its 13 seasons. The aired on Fox on September 13, 2009. Four episodes from the final season were to have aired on Fox, but later premiered in nightly from May 3 to 6, 2010.In 2007, it was named by magazine as one of the top 100 greatest television shows of all time. King of the Hill won two and was nominated for seven.

The series' include (playing a fictionalized version of himself), (playing the recurring character Lucky), (playing a king at a ), and numerous artists.takes place in the King of the Hill universe, and features Mega-Lo-Marts in the script. It was also created for Fox. Despite this, Judge is not involved in the series. However, story editors Christy Stratton and for King of the Hill are involved in the show. Over time, series co-creator Mike Judge took a reduced role in the production of episodes.Judge and Daniels' reduced involvement with the show resulted in the series' format turning more episodic and formulaic.

Beginning in season seven, John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky, who had worked on the series since season two, took it over completely, tending to emphasize Judge's concept that the series was built around humor rather than character-driven humor. Although Fox insisted that the series lack character development or story arcs (a demand made of the network's other animated series, so that they can be shown out of order in syndication), Judge and Daniels had managed to develop minor arcs and story elements throughout the early years of the series, such as Luanne's becoming more independent and educated after Buckley's death, and the aging of characters being acknowledged (a rare narrative occurrence for an animated series). Lacking Judge and Daniels' supervision, the series ceased aging its characters and even began character backstories; in the episode ', Peggy's mother was abruptly changed from a neurotic housewife with whom Peggy shared a competitive relationship to a bitter rancher from whom Peggy had been estranged for years.

The format change also resulted in at least one minor character—Laoma, Kahn's mother—being written out of the show completely, and her relationship with Bill ignored in all future episodes.Facing cancellation Because it was scheduled to lead off Fox's Sunday-night, portions of King of the Hill episodes were often pre-empted by sporting events that ran into overtime; in season nine especially, whole episodes were pre-empted. Ultimately, enough episodes were pre-empted that the majority of the series' —initially intended to be the final season, consisted of unaired ninth-season episodes.The episode ' became the first episode of the series to be produced in when it aired on February 8, 2009. Cancellation Although ratings remained consistent throughout the 10th, 11th and 12th seasons and had begun to rise in the overall (up to the 105th most watched series on television, from 118 in season 8), Fox abruptly announced in 2008 that King of the Hill had been cancelled. The cancellation coincided with the announcement that, creator of and, would be creating a Family Guy spin-off called, which would take over King of the Hill's time slot.Hopes to keep the show afloat surfaced as sources indicated that (which was already airing Judge's new animated comedy, ) was interested in securing the rights to the show, but in January 2009, ABC president Steve McPherson said he had 'no plans to pick up the animated comedy.' On April 30, 2009, it was announced that Fox ordered at least two more episodes to give the show a proper finale.

The show's 14th season was supposed to air sometime in the, but Fox later announced that it would not air the episodes, opting instead for syndication. On August 10, 2009, however, Fox released a statement that the network would air a one-hour (which consisted of a regular 30-minute episode followed by a 30-minute finale) on September 13, 2009.The four remaining episodes of the series aired in syndication the week of May 3, 2010, and again on Adult Swim during the week of May 17, 2010.During the panel discussion for the return of Beavis and Butt-head at Comic-Con 2011, Mike Judge said that no current plans exist to revive King of the Hill, although he would not rule out the possibility of it returning. Potential revival On August 8, 2017, it was revealed that Judge and Daniels had talked with Fox executives about a potential revival. On March 19, 2018, in an interview with, Mike Judge said he would want the revived series to include aged characters, such as an older Bobby. Television ratings SeasonNo.

The Hill family. From the left: (back), and their dog, LadybirdKing of the Hill is set in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas, an amalgamation of numerous suburbs including,. In addition to drawing inspiration from the DFW Metroplex, Judge has described Arlen as 'a town like ' (a suburb of ). Time magazine praised the authentic portrayal as the 'most acutely observed, realistic sitcom about regional American life bar none'. As seen in the episode, 'Hank's Cowboy Movie' the town has a population of 145,300 people.In the episode 'Harlottown', it's revealed the town was originally a watering hole on the Chisholm Trail. A group of eleven enterprising women invested in a tent and a cot, and the site eventually formed into a town-wide brothel dubbed Harlottown until the prostitutes decided to make the brothel into a prospering town.

Eventually, it was called Harlen because, according to Peggy, 'People were in such a rush to get here they didn't have time to say Harlottown.' The many visitors to Harlen included President Garfield, the Terry's Texas Rangers, the University of Notre Dame football team and Mark Twain.Though the location is based on suburbs of the DFW Metroplex, the physical location of Arlen is never specified in the series, other than that it is in Texas.

Similar to the location of on, the location of Arlen within Texas is arbitrary based on the needs of a particular episode's plot, and multiple episodes give mutually exclusive information as to Arlen's geographic location within the state. For example, one episode indicates that it is just north of the in central Texas. Other episodes place it near Houston or Dallas, while others feature trips to Mexico and back taking place within a matter of hours.

In 'Harlottown', the location is revealed to be somewhere on the Chisholm Trail.Arlen includes settings such as Rainey Street, where the Hills and other major characters reside, and, Hank's employer. Also included are parodies of well-known businesses, such as Mega-Lo Mart (a parody of ), Luly's (a parody of ), Want-A-Burger (a parody of, although Whataburger itself makes several appearances in the series), Bazooms (a parody of ), Frozen Cow Creamery (a parody of ), 61 Flavors (a parody of ).

Hank's friend and neighbor Bill Dauterive is a barber at Fort Blanda, an army post (similar to ) near Arlen. Most of the children in the show attend Middle School (named after the former coach). Not long before the series premiered, an elementary school named after Tom Landry opened in, a suburb of which until 2008 was home to and the. Likewise, the local elementary school is named after.

Early in the series, the school is referred to as being in the Heimlich County School District (according to markings on the school buses), though in later seasons this is changed to Arlen Independent School District. The school's mascot is a longhorn steer. The local country club is the Nine Rivers Country Club, though this club's membership is almost exclusively made up of. The 'Devil's Bowl', where Lucky races his truck, is actually a race track in, a suburb of Dallas.

When Bobby tries to impress Connie's delinquent relative Tid Pao in 'Bad Girls, Bad Girls, Whatcha Gonna Do?' , he takes her to The Pioneer Woman's Museum, a parody of the real-life Women's Collection Archive permanently housed at whose flagship campus is in. In Season One, Hank plays golf with, who is from, at the Pedernales Golf Course, which is a reference to the in the in Central Texas.Characters.
