Good news for fans of sharp satire and Strickland Propane: Reports of King of the Hill's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

    Man, hey, gosh dang man, that dag gone ol King of the Hill man its as sweet as a 79 Camera, I tell ya what, man.

    Quick, witty, and shamefully underrated. Like most, I failed to appreciate its subtlety before paying attention to the dialogue.

    "Boston? That's in Taxachusetts, ain't it. Say hello to Willy Horton for me...he's teaching in your kindergarten."

    A kid went to my high school who looked just like a brown-haired Bobby Hill. It was creepy.

    Of course, episodes will only air on Sundays when an NFL game doesn't go more than 30 seconds over the 3 hours allotted by the geniuses in programming, or the post-game commentators decide to ad-lib about Howie Long's haircut.
    The good news is at today's Fox Upfront they announced that War at Home, moves to 9:30, meaning glorious Fox animation shall run unimpeded in a solid block.

    Going out on a limb: Simpsons, South Park, good. Family guy, decent. King of the Hill, Drawn Together, Mind of Mencia, abominable.

    KOTH has one of my all-time favorite TV moments: Boomhauer conversing with Bob Dylan...
