open-in-new
<h2 id="premise-and-characters">Premise and characters</h2> <p><i>King of the Hill</i> is set in the fictional small town of Arlen, <a href="/facts/Texas/B987WHF0">Texas</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> The show centers on the Hill family, headed by the ever-responsible, calm, hard-working, loyal, disciplined, and honest salesman <a href="/facts/Hank_Hill/DEWM3mu5">Hank Hill</a> (<a href="/facts/Mike_Judge/y3eaQVNk">Mike Judge</a>). The punning title refers to Hank as the head of the family, as well as metaphorically to the children's game <a href="/facts/King_of_the_hill_(game)/81IUaSb6">king of the hill</a>. Hank is employed as the assistant manager at Strickland Propane, selling "<a href="/facts/Propane/E0b23KGh">propane</a> and propane accessories", a frequent <a href="/facts/Catchphrase/N54QWsYr">catchphrase</a>. He often finds his traditional conservative values challenged by the changing world around him, though his common decency always sees him through. Hank typically serves as the <i>de facto</i> leader for his friends and family. His wife <a href="/facts/Peggy_Hill/45qNmeHT">Peggy Hill, <i>née</i> Platter</a> (<a href="/facts/Kathy_Najimy/LSq4bjkW">Kathy Najimy</a>), a native of <a href="/facts/Montana/SHSnTNuG">Montana</a>, is a substitute Spanish teacher, though she has a poor grasp of the language. Peggy also finds employment and avocation as a freelance newspaper columnist for <i>The Arlen Bystander</i>, as well as a <a href="/facts/Boggle/AWeJRLM6">Boggle</a> champion, <a href="/facts/Notary_public/8awyPcXu">notary public</a>, softball pitcher, and real estate agent. She is confident, frequently to the point of lacking self-awareness. Hank and Peggy's only child, <a href="/facts/Bobby_Hill_(King_of_the_Hill)/PshUIBvj">Bobby Hill</a> (<a href="/facts/Pamela_Adlon/W3SzNQ8E">Pamela Adlon</a>), is a student at Tom Landry Middle School. His characteristic lack of athleticism and interests in prop comedy and cooking are mystifying to his more conventional father, but are encouraged by his mother. </p><p>Throughout a good share of the series, Peggy's naïve and emotional niece <a href="/facts/List_of_King_of_the_Hill_characters/au32X7wF">Luanne Platter</a> (<a href="/facts/Brittany_Murphy/942lAx3x">Brittany Murphy</a>), the daughter of Peggy's scheming brother Hoyt (<a href="/facts/Johnny_Knoxville/gLnhY3tx">Johnny Knoxville</a>) and his alcoholic ex-wife, Leanne (Adlon), lives with the Hill family. Hank originally encourages her to move out, but over time, accepts her as a member of the household. Luanne attends beauty school and hosts a Christian-themed puppet show for a local cable-access TV station. She eventually finds employment as a hairdresser, trades beauty school for community college - from which she eventually drops out, as well when she is finally able to become a hairdresser full-time - and moves into the neighboring house previously owned by Ted "Pops" Popacito, but is still regularly a part of the Hill family's lives. She engages in a relationship with and marries Elroy "Lucky" Kleinschmidt (<a href="/facts/Tom_Petty/mBmQSI7e">Tom Petty</a>), a snaggle-toothed lay about, who lives on the settlement he has earned from a frivolous lawsuit. </p><p>Hank has a healthy relationship with his mother, Tilly (<a href="/facts/Tammy_Wynette/Coet0gJ4">Tammy Wynette</a>, later <a href="/facts/Beth_Grant/kbdapX6m">Beth Grant</a> and <a href="/facts/K_Callan/GfYH9u66">K Callan</a>), a kind woman who lives in <a href="/facts/Arizona/6ayM3swJ">Arizona</a>. He is at first uncomfortable with his mother dating Gary Kasner (<a href="/facts/Carl_Reiner/YRLkz2nS">Carl Reiner</a>), a Jewish man, but warms to him as their relationship progresses. He is dismayed by his mother's choice to break up with Gary to marry a man she has only known for a few weeks, Chuck Garrison, but eventually finds him as likable as Gary. In contrast, Hank has a strained relationship with his father, <a href="/facts/Cotton_Hill/eVmofFuz">Cotton Hill</a> (<a href="/facts/Toby_Huss/q5LHaGJI">Toby Huss</a>), a cantankerous <a href="/facts/World_War_II/2efV5L1U">World War II</a> veteran who lost his shins to Japanese machine gun fire and verbally abused Tilly during their marriage, leading to their divorce. Cotton later marries Didi (<a href="/facts/Ashley_Gardner/4JIxrt5p">Ashley Gardner</a>), a young <a href="/facts/Candy_striper/lDUeW6pp">candy striper</a>, and they have a son, "G.H." ("Good Hank"), who bears a striking resemblance to Bobby. </p><p>Other main characters include Hank's friends and their families. <a href="/facts/Dale_Gribble/2YQnX1V8">Dale Gribble</a> (<a href="/facts/Johnny_Hardwick/Yg9MVhqw">Johnny Hardwick</a>; later Huss) is the Hills' chain-smoking, <a href="/facts/Hair_loss/uEPKUafl">balding</a>, conspiracy-theorist, next-door neighbor and Hank's best friend. As a result of his paranoia, Dale does not trust the government or "the system". He owns his own pest-control business, Dale's Dead Bug, and is also a licensed <a href="/facts/Bounty_hunter/Gn59WoVb">bounty hunter</a> and president of the Arlen Gun Club. He is married to Nancy Hicks-Gribble (Gardner), a weather reporter and later an anchorwoman for Channel 84 news. Their only child, Joseph (Murphy, later <a href="/facts/Breckin_Meyer/nvj65Rbr">Breckin Meyer</a>), is best friends with Bobby Hill. He plays <a href="/facts/Quarterback/AFP39x6G">quarterback</a> for the football team, enjoys destructive activities like setting ants on fire, and becomes somewhat girl-crazy as he gets older. He is not Dale's biological son, but was instead born from Nancy's 14-year-long affair with <a href="/facts/John_Redcorn/dmuSwBgp">John Redcorn</a> (<a href="/facts/Victor_Aaron/7GVyKne7">Victor Aaron</a>; later <a href="/facts/Jonathan_Joss/FWp8FoAc">Jonathan Joss</a>), a Native American healer who has given her therapeutic massages for her headaches for years; their affair and Joseph's real parentage have long been common knowledge among the neighbors, who have all seemingly agreed to keep it a secret from Dale. He has expressed suspicion that he is not Joseph's biological father, but believes that Nancy was impregnated by aliens using his DNA. Even so, he clearly loves his son. </p><p>Across the alley from the Hills lives <a href="/facts/Bill_Dauterive/366HkBET">Bill Dauterive</a> (<a href="/facts/Stephen_Root/43aJ4e7g">Stephen Root</a>). Known as the "Billdozer" in his high-school football glory days, Bill is now overweight, bald, and clinically depressed, still struggling to get over his divorce with his ex-wife Lenore. He is a <a href="/facts/Sergeant/mtBXTBSf">sergeant</a> and barber in the <a href="/facts/United_States_Army/WACWBEK9">United States Army</a>, who idolizes Hank. His loneliness often results in him being easily taken advantage of by strangers until his friends come to his rescue. Throughout the series, he finds near-success with women, including former <a href="/facts/Governor_of_Texas/bdVK7c7h">Texas Governor</a> <a href="/facts/Ann_Richards/uXU4jC44">Ann Richards</a>. He frequently expresses an unrequited attraction to Peggy, which she occasionally uses to her advantage. </p><p><a href="/facts/Boomhauer/GLrH9HNs">Boomhauer</a> (Judge), who also lives in the Hill's neighborhood, is a slim womanizer whose fast, nonfluent, and jumbled speech can be hard to understand for the audience despite being easily understood by his friends and most other characters. He is shown to be able to sing clearly and speak fluent Spanish and French. During a perspective flashback in the season-three episode "A Fire Fighting We Will Go", Boomhauer sees himself speaking in a typical manner, while everyone else speaks in Boomhauer's manner of speaking. Though his occupation is not explicitly stated, a single line early in the series indicates he is an electrician living on worker's compensation. In a montage leading to the conclusion of the final episode, a <a href="/facts/Texas_Ranger_Division/gjU8rP9c">Texas Ranger</a> badge falls open on his dresser. His given name, Jeff, is not revealed until the 13th and final season. </p><p>In the series' first season, the Souphanousinphones, a <a href="/facts/Laotian-American/xKCXMUmm">Laotian-American</a> family, move in next door to the Hills. The family consists of the materialistic Kahn (Huss; later <a href="/facts/Ronny_Chieng/AEaC46Y8">Ronny Chieng</a>), his class-conscious wife Minh (<a href="/facts/Lauren_Tom/3hSc18Rc">Lauren Tom</a>), and their teenaged daughter, Kahn Jr., who goes by the name "Connie" (Tom). Kahn – who fled poverty in Laos to become a successful systems analyst in America – is often at odds with his neighbors, believing them to be "hillbillies" and "rednecks" due to their lower <a href="/facts/Socioeconomic_status/5rVhvE8b">socioeconomic status</a> despite evidence to the contrary. Minh often becomes involved in activities with Peggy and Nancy, on whom she looks down as uncivilized and ignorant, despite considering them her best friends. Connie has been pushed by her father to become a child prodigy and excels at a variety of things from academics to music, though she rejects her father's materialism and judgmental nature. She develops a relationship with Bobby that blossoms into romance over the first half of the series before the two decide to remain friends. She often accompanies Bobby and Joseph on their adventures. </p><p>Other minor characters include Buck Strickland (voiced by Stephen Root), Hank's licentious boss at Strickland Propane; Joe Jack (Huss) and Enrique (<a href="/facts/Danny_Trejo/I4h5dkEA">Danny Trejo</a>), Hank's co-workers at Strickland; Carl Moss (<a href="/facts/Dennis_Burkley/RfqCcDb0">Dennis Burkley</a>), Bobby's principal at Tom Landry Middle School; and Reverend Karen Stroup (<a href="/facts/Mary_Tyler_Moore/crvM0xyy">Mary Tyler Moore</a> in her debut appearance, and then Ashley Gardner in regular appearances), the female minister of Arlen First Methodist. </p><p>Unlike most adult animated comedies such as <i><a href="/facts/Family_Guy/J7wmfbrv">Family Guy</a></i>, the show uses a simple <a href="/facts/Slice-of-life/zLXjCSyt">slice-of-life</a> format, which is consistently present throughout its run, the show presents itself as being more down-to-earth than competing animated comedies due to its <a href="/facts/Realism_(arts)/qn1xtzkf">realism</a> and bases its plots and humor from mundane topics. Critics also note the great deal of humanity shown throughout the show.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p> <h3>Characters</h3> <p class="note">Main article: <a href="/facts/List_of_King_of_the_Hill_characters/au32X7wF">List of King of the Hill characters</a></p> <p><i>King of the Hill</i> depicts an "average" family and their lives in a typical American town.

Daniels also reworked some of the supporting characters (whom the pair characterized as originally having been generic, "snaggle-toothed hillbillies"), such as making Dale Gribble a <a href="/facts/Conspiracy_theory/sNr2Kmh8">conspiracy theorist</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> While Judge's writing tended to emphasize political humor, specifically the clash of Hank Hill's <a href="/facts/Social_conservatism/96NpePX8">social conservatism</a> and interlopers' liberalism, Daniels focused on character development to provide an emotional context for the series' numerous cultural conflicts. Judge was ultimately so pleased with Daniels' contributions, he chose to credit him as a co-creator, rather than give him the "developer" credit usually reserved for individuals brought onto a pilot written by someone else.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> </p> <h3>Initial success</h3> <p>After its debut, the series became a large success for Fox and was named one of the best television series of the year by various publications, including <i><a href="/facts/Entertainment_Weekly/BhADudJx">Entertainment Weekly</a></i>, <i><a href="/facts/Time_(magazine)/N4FXc99l">Time</a></i>, and <i><a href="/facts/TV_Guide/T29FpwBp">TV Guide</a></i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a> For the 1997–1998 season, the series became one of Fox's highest-rated programs and even outperformed <i>The Simpsons</i> in the ratings that season, ranking 15th with an average of 16.3 million viewers per episode.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a> During the <a href="/facts/The_Exterminator_(King_of_the_Hill)/uTWyqX7E">fifth</a> and <a href="/facts/The_Bluegrass_Is_Always_Greener/K33JmI27">sixth seasons</a>, Mike Judge and Greg Daniels became less involved with the show.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a> They eventually refocused on it, even while Daniels became increasingly involved with other projects.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a> </p> <h3>Format change</h3> Showrunners throughout the series' run<table><tbody><tr><th scope="col">Season</th><th scope="col">Showrunners</th></tr><tr><th scope="row">1–2</th><td><a href="/facts/Mike_Judge/y3eaQVNk">Mike Judge</a> and <a href="/facts/Greg_Daniels/5vYz1bxM">Greg Daniels</a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row">3–4</th><td>Greg Daniels and <a href="/facts/Richard_Appel/CCPMdJjx">Richard Appel</a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row">5</th><td>Richard Appel</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">6</th><td><a href="/facts/Jonathan_Aibel_and_Glenn_Berger/HvjcmyAb">Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger</a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row">7–13</th><td><a href="/facts/John_Altschuler/fYxS32fp">John Altschuler</a> and <a href="/facts/Dave_Krinsky/r5WlI5Tl">Dave Krinsky</a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row">14</th><td><a href="/facts/Saladin_K._Patterson/PIB02UUA">Saladin K.

Ultimately, enough episodes were pre-empted that the majority of the series' <a href="/facts/Business_is_Picking_Up/4THwUTBr">10th season</a>—initially intended to be the final season,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20"><sup>20</sup></a> consisted of unaired ninth-season episodes.

When he opens his can of beer, the playback speed increases greatly and depicts other main and secondary characters carrying out various daily activities around them in a time-lapse. Meanwhile, the four continue drinking beer and a nearby recycling bin fills with their empty cans. When Peggy brings a bag of garbage out to Hank, the other three leave and the playback returns to normal speed (which was sped up for the first half of the last few seconds of the introduction from seasons 4–13) as he takes it to the trash can and gathers with Peggy and Bobby in a parody of <i><a href="/facts/American_Gothic/qYqelVH9">American Gothic</a></i>. In the upcoming 14th season, the introduction has been changed to serve as a compressed timelapse of the events that occurred in between the 13th and 14th seasons, while maintaining the same increased playback speed and a similar start and end compared to the original.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59"><sup>59</sup></a> </p><p>The opening theme, "Yahoos and Triangles", is performed by Arizona rock band <a href="/facts/The_Refreshments_(U.S._band)/JuMlAcTI">The Refreshments</a>. Variations of the theme are used for special episodes, including season finales and Christmas episodes. </p> <h3>Setting</h3> <p><i>King of the Hill</i> is set in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas, an amalgamation of numerous <a href="/facts/Dallas%25E2%2580%2593Fort_Worth_metroplex/dlmqt8MV">Dallas–Fort Worth</a> suburbs, including <a href="/facts/Garland%2c_Texas/XLeMwtMh">Garland</a>, <a href="/facts/Richardson%2c_Texas/HKlsEyKz">Richardson</a>, <a href="/facts/Arlington%2c_Texas/umTWEFhW">Arlington</a>, and <a href="/facts/Allen%2c_Texas/FX22hwxe">Allen</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60"><sup>60</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61"><sup>61</sup></a> In addition to drawing inspiration from the DFW region, Judge has described Arlen as "a town like <a href="/facts/Humble%2c_Texas/cMdILju0">Humble</a>" (a suburb of <a href="/facts/Houston/1v8AwQUN">Houston</a>).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62"><sup>62</sup></a> <i>Time</i> magazine praised the authentic portrayal as the "most acutely observed, realistic sitcom about regional American life bar none".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63"><sup>63</sup></a> In the episode "Hank's Cowboy Movie", the town's entrance sign lists its population as 145,300. </p><p>Though Arlen is inspired by various Texas suburban communities, its specific location in Texas is never specified in the series. Similar to the location of <a href="/facts/Springfield_(The_Simpsons)/k0JcqxUc">Springfield</a> on <i>The Simpsons</i>, the location of Arlen within Texas is arbitrarily based on the needs of a particular episode's plot, and multiple episodes give conflicting information as to Arlen's geographic location within the state. For example, one episode indicates that it is just north of the <a href="/facts/Brazos_River/YXTuCYfP">Brazos River</a> in central Texas.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:64" href="#fn:64"><sup>64</sup></a> Other episodes place it near Houston or Dallas, while others feature trips to Mexico and back taking place within a matter of hours. In the episode "Harlottown", the location is revealed to be somewhere on the <a href="/facts/Chisholm_Trail/bFTKdTqf">Chisholm Trail</a>. In all cases, the general location for Arlen coincides with the eastern half of the state as opposed to the western half, the latter being predominantly desert. </p><p>The Hills and other major characters reside on Rainey Street. Hank's friend and neighbor Bill Dauterive is a barber at Fort Blanda, a small army post near Arlen. Most of the children in the show attend <a href="/facts/Tom_Landry/CRVIo4AC">Tom Landry</a> Middle School; other schools depicted are Arlen High (home of the Longhorns) and <a href="/facts/Roger_Staubach/lSQsM9js">Staubach</a> Elementary. 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. </p> <h2 id="reception">Reception</h2> <h3>Critical response</h3> <p><i>King of the Hill</i> received critical acclaim over its 13-year run.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:65" href="#fn:65"><sup>65</sup></a> Early reviews of the show were positive, and it was named as one of the best new shows of 1997 by <i><a href="/facts/Entertainment_Weekly/BhADudJx">Entertainment Weekly</a></i>, <i><a href="/facts/Time_(magazine)/N4FXc99l">Time</a></i> and <i><a href="/facts/TV_Guide_(magazine)/pFNw9hLG">TV Guide</a></i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:66" href="#fn:66"><sup>66</sup></a> Diane Holloway at the <i><a href="/facts/Chicago_Tribune/Bbms9uy5">Chicago Tribune</a></i> considered it the "most Texan television series since <i><a href="/facts/Dallas_(TV_series)/3wNXFeqX">Dallas</a></i>", and praised the show's "sly sense of humor and subversive sensibility."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:67" href="#fn:67"><sup>67</sup></a> At the <i><a href="/facts/Los_Angeles_Times/jFHbcmb9">Los Angeles Times</a></i>, writer <a href="/facts/Howard_Rosenberg/JQ5p0Lr1">Howard Rosenberg</a> suggested that the show "totes a few smiles, but [there's] little to bowl you over, and it takes a spell getting used to."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:68" href="#fn:68"><sup>68</sup></a> The show's first season received an approval rating of 83% on <a href="/facts/Review_aggregator/EpyYjDP6">review aggregator</a> <a href="/facts/Rotten_Tomatoes/rLs7ktSY">Rotten Tomatoes</a>, based on eighteen reviews, with an average rating of 7.3/10.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:69" href="#fn:69"><sup>69</sup></a> Its consensus reads, "<i>King of the Hill</i>'s mild yet extremely funny depiction of small-town Texas life is refreshingly worlds away from conventional prime-time animation."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:70" href="#fn:70"><sup>70</sup></a> The fifth and thirteenth seasons received more critical praise, with a 100% approval rating.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:71" href="#fn:71"><sup>71</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:72" href="#fn:72"><sup>72</sup></a> </p><p>In 2007, <a href="/facts/James_Poniewozik/cyk7qwCU">James Poniewozik</a> included it on <i>Time'</i>s list of the 100 Greatest TV Shows, writing: "The most acutely observed, realistic sitcom about regional American life bar none, this animated series is a lot like its protagonist, Texas propane salesman Hank Hill: it isn't flashy, never gets a lot of attention, but does its job year in and year out...
