Continuity: In the early episodes, Luanne clearly has automotive skills - she is seen repairing cars and even ordering Hank parts he needs to fix his truck at one point. From "Jumpin' Crack Bass" on she has little to no knowledge of cars. more
Quotes:
Peggy Hill: Even if I do get Hank to see the doctor, he refuses to take his pants off.
Nancy Gribble: Oh, you don't take your clothes off at the doctor's any more, Shug! Anything they need to see, they do it with a new machine called an M-R-I!
Peggy Hill: Hm. Are you sure they can use it to look at Hank?
Nancy Gribble: They use it for everything! Heck, it's the same technology we use down at the station to predict the weather!
Peggy Hill: I thought you used the doppler radar.
Nancy Gribble: [laughing] Oh, Shug!

One of the best shows on TV., 21 December 1999
Author: Jeff (spoonjef@aol.com) from L.A. CA

King of the Hill is probably one of the best shows that you're not watching. A very droll sense of humor abounds in this show about a propane salesman and his family. Along with extolling the virtues of propane and propane accessories, Hank reveres everything and anything Texan: steak, the Cowboys, Tom Landrey. Hank navigates life with the help of his Boggle playing wife Peggy, who is a substitute Spanish teacher. And then there's Bobby Hill, Hank's only son because of a narrow ureathra. The supporting players add color to this mix. You have paranoid, whacko Dale, lonesome Bill and Boomhauer. Then there's Hank's niece LuAnn, his neighbor Khan, and his father, Cotton. Throw them all together and you have a show that is worth watching. One could argue that this show could be done as live action, I think it benefits from being animated. Dream sequences are easier to pull off, and some of the more oddball things that Dale and Cotton Hill do could only be done on an animated show. Smartly written and full of humor.
