New King of the Hill (Animated TV series) Funko Pop! collectibles.
King of the Hill is a critically acclaimed American animated sitcom created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels.
The series originally aired on the Fox network from January 12, 1997, to May 6, 2010, spanning 13 seasons and 259 episodes.
Set in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas, the show centers around the life of Hank Hill, a propane salesman and the epitome of a traditional, hardworking American. Hank is known for his strong moral code, conservative values, and his oft-repeated line, “I sell propane and propane accessories.”
The show primarily follows Hank’s interactions with his quirky family and eccentric neighbors. His wife, Peggy Hill, is a confident, often self-deluded substitute Spanish teacher and columnist. Their son, Bobby Hill, is an awkward, kind-hearted boy whose interests often clash with Hank’s idea of masculinity.
Other key characters include Luanne Platter, Peggy’s sweet but naive niece who lives with the Hills, and Hank’s conspiracy-theorist friend Dale Gribble, along with other memorable friends like Boomhauer and Bill Dauterive.
What sets King of the Hill apart from other animated sitcoms is its grounded tone and subtle humor. While it includes exaggerated elements for comedic effect, the show leans heavily on realistic situations, nuanced characters, and social commentary.
It explores everyday American life, dealing with topics such as family dynamics, political differences, patriotism, gender roles, and the culture of suburban Texas.
Despite being animated, King of the Hill adopts a slow-paced, character-driven storytelling style more often seen in live-action sitcoms. The animation style itself is relatively subdued, which complements the show’s realistic tone.
The series received widespread critical praise during its run, earning several Emmy nominations and winning an Emmy Award in 1999 for Outstanding Animated Program. It also cultivated a loyal fanbase and is often regarded as one of the most intelligent and underrated animated series on television.
In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the show, and a revival is reportedly in development at Hulu, with original co-creators and cast members involved.
King of the Hill remains an influential piece of American animation, praised for its ability to blend humor and heartfelt storytelling while offering a satirical yet respectful look at middle-American life.
