Fox's animated sitcoms dominate the longest-running scripted prime time shows list, featuring titles like The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob's Burgers. King of the Hill, set for its 14th season on Hulu, is uniquely positioned among these shows with its subtler approach. The series, created by Mike Judge, focuses on Hank Hill, a courteous propane salesman, and his interactions with his family and community in fictional Arlen, Texas. Unlike other sitcoms, it avoids overt political themes, emphasizing familial relationships instead, particularly Hank's attempts to connect with his son Bobby.
King of the Hill serves as both a constant in viewers' lives and a living document of contemporary American life over its long run. The show portrays Hank Hill as a buttoned-up propane salesman who values courtesy, tradition, and decency, contrasting with the typical bumbling protagonist in other sitcoms.
Unlike many animated sitcoms of its era characterized by chaos, King of the Hill presents a more subdued and thoughtful narrative focused on family dynamics, particularly the father-son relationship between Hank and Bobby.
