'''''King of the Hill''''' was an animated show on [[Fox Network|Fox]] beginning in 1997 and ending in 2009. It consisted over 200 episodes. Created by Mike Judge, the creator of ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'', the show was surprisingly different in nature. Rather than focusing on situations that are absurd in nature which is the focus of many modern animated programs childish or adult, this show portrays characters that are realistic in realistic situations and the humor is more subtle than what is featured in shows such as ''The Simpsons'' or ''Family Guy.'' After driving out much of the adolescent audience who watched because it was associated with the creator of ''Beavis,'' it gained a good adult audience that allowed the show to last a very respectable thirteen seasons. The show is noted as the only one of Fox's Sunday night animated programs where the main character is a Republican and not vilified for it.
