King of the Hill is definitely one of the more underrated animated series out there. I actually think it's daring that it doesn't aim for 'gut busting' humor the way most American comedies do, and it's very nuanced in the way it portrays its characters.
On the one hand it's under appreciated, on the other as cartoon with a complex view of american life that isn't going for the "big laughs" I'm surprised it wasn't cancelled in a week.
- surement 14y agoYou're right, Fox did do some bold things. Married with Children is probably another.
- ismarc 14y agoI didn't really get much of the humor in King of the Hill until I moved to Texas. It is very much a parody and exaggeration of each particular "stereotypical" Texan you actually run into. Now that I've lived here for a significant amount of time, it is much more humorous.
