A long running beloved plot derived animateds show is being canceled to make room for more mindless fart jokes.

FOX has announced it will not be ordering any more new "King Of The HIll" episodes"

.http://www.tvweek.com/news/2008/10/king_of_the_hill_canceled.php

I know many of you on this site probobly hate this show because it doesn't hold your 30 second attention spans, so for you. please leave.

This show has been one of my favorites for a very very long time, my forum icon used to be Hank on his mower back in the day.  I've watched each episode so many times i can nearly repeat it back to you with the show on mute.  I know the last few seasons have shown change in the show, and i'll agree it isn't what it used to be, but why make room for more shows from the family guy creator? and better yet, why keep the Simpsons? The Simpsons has been God Awful for at elast the last 7 seasons, I can't even watch that garbage any more it disgusts me so.

I'll miss loungeing on the couch viewing cleverly written, down to earth plots ,that in many ways I could relate to.

I guess the world is just becoming increaseingly moronic and to engulfed in pop culture nonsense and others bull-shit to have room for "KING OF THE HILL"

R.I.P.

I'll continue to enjoy the re-runs even more knowing they are now classics.

I completely agree with how you put it king of the hill has been superior to the simpsons for years and really brought a different type of comedy to tv and it will be missed.

I couldn't say much for the first few seasons, but damnit all, King of the Hill was great towards the end. It always sucks to see such an awesome show get cancelled by the retards at Fox. And you know their going to replace it with just a bunch of retarded sitcoms that won't see 1 full season. They killed War At Home and Oliver Bean - which were great - in just one season too.

King of the Hill was a great funny show. It was a subtle show, and a great comment on redneck and Texan stupidity and culture. As well as Indian, Asian, and even black cultures. People these days wouldn't go for a show like this, just as kids no longer like Monty Python.

JORDAN! How dare you curse strickland propane with such absurdity? 

The haters in this thread are the same ones that don't enjoy watching American Dad.  Get off you high horse, turn off Family Guy, turn off your te-vo set to record South Park, and actually enjoy some good wholesome cartoons.

i love king of the hill. it just kinda reminds me of growing up and stuff for some reason. i also really like the characters. i love to hate peggy, bobby is a fat fuck, and hank is just ridiculous. boomhauer, dale, and bill are also hilarious. for some reason i love this show and watch it almost everyday. although there are no new episodes, i can watch repeats forever.

Wow thats the worst news I have heard in a very very long time. King of the Hill is easily in the top 5 shows on television, so funny. Hank is basically the greatest cartoon character ever.

Maybe adult swim will buy new episodes? Although I did sort of see it ending when they killed off Cotton. New episodes were still funny too.

Funny thing a few days ago I delivered a pizza to three really soned black guys sitting on a couch watching it and just laughing to themselves everytime hank said huwhat? or whatever.

someone said about new shoes like king of the hill. yeah, they're making some new animated series's. one is the goode family (looks like the same animation as king of the hill). they're also having the cleveland show (from family guy; i saw something about it on ign.com). and that other retarded show that took king of the hills spot on sundays. i never saw it, always immediately turned off my tv.

it was more plot driven and generally intelligent than stuff like family guy and american dad and whatnot. Even south park isnt even that plot driven due to the completely unrealistic insane sh*t that happens on the show. Not to say it isnt funny, but still... King of the Hill has been the 2nd best plot-driven cartoon on TV since the Simpsons started sucking 6 or 7 years ago. (behind Futurama)

that show is amazing. each character is perfect. it's a shame that it's ending. at least i'll be able to watch the re runs on adult swim. and by the powers that be hopefully they bring it back when they realize that Family Guy type shows don't work. Just like they should do with Arrested Development.
