King of The Hill | Bumpers & Promo | 2003 | Fox

King of the Hill is an American animated sitcom created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels that ran from January 12, 1997 to May 6, 2010 on Fox. It centers on the Hills, a middle-class American family in the fictional city of Arlen, Texas. It attempts to maintain a realistic approach, seeking humor in the conventional and mundane aspects of everyday life.

The series debuted on the Fox network as a mid-season replacement in 1997, quickly becoming a hit. The series' popularity led to worldwide syndication, and reruns air nightly on Adult Swim. The show became one of Fox's longest-running series (third-longest as an animated series, after The Simpsons and Family Guy), and briefly was the second longest running animated sitcom in history. In 2007, it was named by Time magazine as one of the top 100 greatest television shows of all time.[1] King of the Hill won two Emmy Awards and was nominated for seven.

A total of 259 episodes aired over the course of its 13 seasons. The final episode aired on Fox on September 13, 2009. Four episodes from the final season were to have aired on Fox, but later premiered in nightly syndication from May 3 to 6, 2010.

Man this takes me back… For those calling this blurry, this is actually how the broadcast appeared over the air, at least on UHF for me 50 miles away from the transmitters of both affiliates (WZTV and WUXP) that aired syndicated KOTH episodes each day in the Nashville market. I was probably too young to be watching, but my nine-year-old self in 2003 watched this show religiously every afternoon at 5:30 and again at 9:30 before bed on my little 13 inch TV with rabbit ears. It’s still my favorite show to this day!
