One of the best damn shows ever, I tell you what

King of the Hill is the story of the propane (and propane accessories mind) salesman Hank Hill, his family and his friends. His son is well, a bit different. His wife is frankly annoying. His niece, much to Hank's dismay, lives in Hank's den and wanders round half naked. His father had his shins blown off in WW2. Boomhauer is a sex craving, fast talking, car lover. Dale is an oblivious propaganda lover. Bill is a pathetic alcoholic. This series,despite being hysterically funny, also rings true in many aspects. This show may never be as popular as the Simpsons, it may never have the following it's predecessor Beavis and Butt-head, it may never sell as many copies of the DVD as Family Guy, the boy may not be right, but damn it, it's one of the best darn shows to ever appear on the TV I tell you what.
