Fox's long-running 'King of the Hill' canceled

"King of the Hill" is over the hill at Fox, which is canceling the long-running animated comedy.

Final episodes of the half-hour series, now in its 13th year, likely will air during the 2009-10 season, Fox said Friday. The network recently ordered 13 new episodes, and animated series have a long production schedule.

"King of the Hill" chronicles the life of blue-collar family man Hank Hill of Texas and his family and friends. Hank is voiced by series co-creator and executive producer Mike Judge. Others in the cast include Kathy Najimy, Brittany Murphy and Stephen Root

Ratings for "King of the Hill" have been relatively flat early this season.

"American Dad" is about Stan Smith, a dedicated conservative, and his oddball family in Langley, Va. Series co-creator and executive producer Seth MacFarlane voices Stan in the series, which also features the voices of Wendy Schaal, Rachael MacFarlane and Scott Grimes

good, it was shit.

The earlier episodes were funny as hell,though.

[Subrick]

To me, it suffers from the same thing going on with The Simpsons, Family Guy, and (at times) South Park: the older episodes are some of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV, yet the newer episodes aren't funny and are redundant (Family Guy being the biggest offender).

[The Smackethdown]

agreed.i hope whenever they decide to make season 3 of The Boondocks they don't fuck it over.

[Spectre]

Oh Boondocks!

[The Smackethdown]

Oh Yes!

[Aero]

ok....

1. they were still making king of the hill??????

2. season 11 of south park was my fave, they are currently on season 12

3. family guy, season 7, episode 2, the bird song? 1 of my favorite family guy bits ever

[Subrick]

1. Yes. It was in it's 12th season back in May.

2. Okay, I'll give you that. I did say that South Park on occasion was an offender, though.

3. It was kind of funny, but I prefer the first 3 seasons over the last 4 seasons.

[Aero]

im still in favor of newer family guy, tho its the repetition i sometimes like, eg chicken fight. would love "the bird is the word" to be a reoccurring theme in this season

..... 12 seasons of king of the hill.... does it get shown in the uk still? swear i thought it stopped like 10 years ago

Stop pretending the "good old days" were better subrick. None of us will ever believe you watched south park any time in the 90's. Even in 99 you were like 6.

And get rid of your sig. It's annoying as fuck.

South Park is pretty much the only cartoon that gets better the longer it runs.

Cow and Chicken excepted like.

[Fozy]

aw shit, cow & chicken.

[Aero]

i dunno trips, season 12 hasnt been as good, i loved cow & chicken... and I R weasle, dexters lab, jonny bravo and... pretty sure there was another... cant have been that good lmao

King of the Hill was boring as fuck. Good riddance to it.

[manDude]

I miss Popeye, and all of the other old cartoons that were awesome. (thank god for boomerang)

[Big Bizang]

Whatever you guys, you weren't around back when Tom And Jerry was in it's heyday! Damn poser kids thinking they know about he 40s and shit.

South Park gets better with every season. The first season is juvenile bullshit with no purpose or punchline other than the fact that they were allowed to do it. It's shite.

[Aero]

it was good at the time to be fair... but then they realised how sick they could make cartman, or how hilarious episodes about randy can be

[Trips]

This topic is now about...

[Aero]

momma had a chicken, momma had a cow, dad was proud, he didnt care how...........COW............CHICKEN........... COW & CHICKEN

good times

[phil]

I also miss the Red Guy, I.M. Weasel and I.R. Baboon.

Fuck. It seems that KotH is going to be back via reruns on Adult Swim. At least AS brought back Clerks: The Animated Series.
