It's a crime that King Of The Hill isn't as talked about alongside other great shows of that era of television. It's one of my all-time favorite shows. I'd love to see it in this era of time with older versions of the characters.

Growing up in Dallas throughout the 90’s and 2000’s really gave me an opportunity to experience far too much of this show in reality. It’s uncanny how realistic the show was at times!

[moretoknowshow]

Being from Dallas County, I can attest to those old guys who used to hang in the alley drinking a beer and having a smoke after work, solid guys who did real work with their hands, I tell ya what..

[ASwagPecan]

Howie was on the nose about how these cartoons depict reality; King of the Hill is phenomenal at displaying a southern culture in a fairly accurate light.

[Lukesrooks]

I can literally picture hank seeing a neighbor trying to repair a fence then he and the guys turn it into a whole project

[ianturnbow]

I grew up watching King of the Hill. Once the show was cancelled, there was a really large dent in American television. The show remains relevant and brilliant.

[robertocojones]

I'm impressed that guy could tell what type of nails Mike was using from however far away he was. That's a true Hank Hill power if ever there was one.

[ytpremade]

I live in the Midwest and it’s shocking how helpful people are willing to be

[slygunslinger]

King of the Hill stands as a testament to our tendency to underappreciate remarkable shows. It may not have garnered overwhelming popularity during its original run, yet its absence made us painfully aware of the void it left behind when it was no longer on. Undoubtedly, Mike Judge's brilliance proves evident over time.

[rcdune]

My dad used to watch King of the Hill with me and he would find it so hilarious and weird because he said that's exactly how people are down in that part of Texas😂😂

[jonnya]

I totally identify with those guys. You honestly made their day by allowing them to take over and fix it. To me there is not much better than having a couple beers and getting something done right. It's a simple pleasure but it's so damn satisfying and it's healthier than most dopamine hits available.

[EtheBizzle]

I can relate to this. I moved to the Midwest and my neighbor is in his 70s. Before I even met the guy, he would snow blow his driveway and the sidewalk in front, look at the other houses on the street, not be satisfied with how they did it, and would start snow blowing everyone else’s driveways and sidewalks. I’ve lived here 5 years now and he still does it every time it snows without being asked. I really gotta buy the guy a keg at this point with all the beers I owe him.

[johntrek]

King of the hill is the greatest cartoon ever created. All the characters are real and they for saw the way America was heading all the way back in '97. It's my all time favorite show and glad you had Mik Judge on and tell this story....

[andrewgordon]

Sounds like this guy had some really nice neighbors. Most of us have neighbors that would try to look the other way if our house was on fire so they didn't have to get involved. I hope he appreciates them.

Mike Judge is SUCH a Genius!! Everything about him just resonates GENIUS!! He is The Mel Blank or Robin Williams of the 2020's!! I am a HUGE Fan and Yes I sell his 1993 Beavis and Butthead pinback Buttons in my Vegas!! Mike is kind of like my Boss. Keep up the good times Man! And thanks for having him as a guest, Howie! 😎

[minimalchill]

I’m from Texas, currently living in Minnesota, and I have told several people more than once that the cast of King of the Hill are REAL people. That I’ve met these characters more than once. Lol there are definitely people out there just like every character from the cast of King of the Hill.

[SeboltLawnLandscape]

Mike Judge is one of my favorites...from King of the Hill to Office Space, the man hits the nail on the head (no pun intended) when it comes to culture and scenarios people experience in day to day life. Idiocracy is another one that should be more acclaimed than it is. Some days it feels like we are living that movie!

[Otomo]

Hearing Mike Judge do Hank Hill makes me smile!

[The_Defiant_One]

It always amazes me how _foreign_ the idea of being a good, friendly neighbor is to people who aren't from the South.

[TBLAsatru]

I was really hoping he would have done a good old "dang it bobby!" as hank lol
