King of the Hill (also known as Hank of the Hill in some parts of Western Europe) is an American animated series 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 small-town Methodist family in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas, based loosely on the real life Dallas suburb, Garland, Texas. It attempts to retain a realistic approach, seeking humor in the conventional and mundane aspects of everyday life while dealing with comical issues.
