King of the Hill reaches the big 200

I hate to confess it, but whether I weren’t writing weekly reflections on King of the Hill I don’t think I would be watching it. Executive producer John Altschuler had that to say: “To be blunt, there’s not too much that’s good on TV. When that season opened their were rumors it might be the last, but apparently FOX had a change of heart and King of the Hill will be sticking around after all. So whether you’re working on something good, you want to do more.” I would say it’s that approach that has kept what USA Today calls King of the Hill’s

“dedicated whether small audience” coming back every week. Don’t get me wrong, I love King of the Hill, but the show has always been in the most forgettable timeslot imaginable. Thankfully, though, it won’t be the end of the series. Despite being essentially tossed aside while shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy are hyped out the wazoo, King of the Hill has remained consistently intelligent and funny, and May 14 will mark both the end of the season and the show’s 200th episode. You know, when the show isn’t constantly being bumped for NASCAR events.
