A total of 259 episodes aired over the course of its 13 seasons. The show became one of Fox's longest-running series. The series' popularity led to worldwide syndication, and cable reruns currently air on FXX and Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim, having aired on FX and Comedy Central in the past.
The series debuted on the Fox network as a mid-season replacement in 1997, quickly becoming a success. After pitching the pilot to Fox, Judge was paired with Greg Daniels, an experienced writer who previously worked on The Simpsons. Judge began creating King of the Hill during his time making the MTV series Beavis and Butt-Head, which he also created and voiced in. The show's realistic approach seeks humor in the conventional and mundane aspects of everyday life, such as blue-collar workers, substitute teachers, the trials of puberty, and political correctness. Hank's neighbors are his longtime friends Bill Dauterive, a divorced, bald, overweight military barber and former high school football star Dale Gribble, a paranoid, pro-gun, anti-government pest exterminator and Jeff Boomhauer, a charismatic, soft-spoken, often unintelligible bachelor. He lives in a ranch-style house with his wife Peggy, his son Bobby, his niece Luanne, and his pet bloodhound Lady Bird. Series protagonist, patriarch, and everyman Hank Hill works as assistant manager at Strickland Propane.
The series initially aired from January 12, 1997, to May 6, 2010, and centers on the Hills, an American family in the fictional city of Arlen, Texas, as well as their neighbors, co-workers, relatives, classmates, friends, and acquaintances. King of the Hill is an American animated sitcom created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels for the Fox Broadcasting Company.
