In the fictional Texas suburb of Arlen lives Hank Hill, a long time salesman of propane and propane accessories who's trying his hardest to always do the right thing. A lot of the humor in the series comes from the fact that Hank's a gigantic stick-in-the-mud. His friends, who are also his neighbors, include down-and-out divorced Army barber Bill Dauterive, cuckolded Conspiracy Theorist and pest exterminator Dale Gribble, and Boomhauer, a womanizing motormouth whose job was unknown until a last-second reveal in the series finale. His family includes his wife, Peggy, his son, Bobby, and his niece, Luanne Platter. Hank also has plenty of conflicts with his father, Cotton, a misogynistic World War II veteran.

After running for numerous seasons, the show finally ended its run on FOX on September 13, 2009. Four unaired episodes were released in syndication and on [adult swim] in 2010. The entire series is currently available on DVD and Hulu. In addition to DVD, season 13 is also available on Blu-Ray as it is the only season containing episodes produced in HD widescreen. [adult swim] aired reruns from the show's final years until 2018. note After [adult swim] lost the rights to King of the Hill in June 2018, Comedy Central picked up the rights to air the series, including the episodes from Seasons 1 and 2 which didn't air on [adult swim] previously. note The show also continues to air on various local stations around the U.S in its original format. Advertisement:In 2018, Mike Judge has gone on record stating that he was considering a revival of the series, and that there have been dialogues with FOX for new seasons, citing the current political and social climate as ripe for satire. So it's quite possible that fans may get to see more of Hank and his family, and find out if the now-adult Bobby still ain't right. King of the Hill sells tropes and trope accessories of:
