King Of The Hill Ends Its 13 Year Run

King of the Hill ended it's 13 year run tonight with 2 episodes. The first was a typical KOTH-style adventure. Bobby finds a new thing, Hank despises new thing, gets in the way, Bobby learns a lesson. The second saw Hank and Bobby finding common ground with steaks and grilling. They finally come to like each other and the neighborhood is at peace. A heartwarming ending indeed, "I tell ya what".

Series creator Mike Judge also has a new movie in theaters called
"Extract" which I hope to see soon. The movie led to a new 3 minute Beavis and Butthead cartoon and much discussion about an upcoming project centered around them.



The Goode Family, another Mike Judge project, ran for one season on ABC this year. On August 8, 2009, Steve McPherson (President of ABC entertainment) announced that the show was officially cancelled. Judge says he would like to continue the show on another network.

I think King Of The Hill ended at just the right time, it fulfilled all expectations and covered all ground. I think people will look back on it as a solid show and one of the best cartoons FOX has ever aired. So long to King Of The Hill. Yep.
