Trivia:

There is no beer based on King of the Hill's "Alamo Beer". The Real Ale beer is actually called "Remember Alamo Golden Ale" but only in San Antonio, everywhere else it is called "Real Ale Firemans #4".

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The Returning Japanese two-parter states Hank inherited his narrow urethra from his father, while Cotton distinctly says in another episode he inherited it from his mother. Of course, Cotton says a lot of things, including the claim that he can pass a bowling ball through his urethra.

Quotes:

Hank: Don't worry Dale, it's just Bill. The army isn't after you.
Dale: You mean I burned off my fingerprints for nothing?

Great show.

King of the Hill is about Hank Hill, a proud propane salesman in Texas. When he isn't at work, he spends time with his family and three friends. The entire cast is great, and the writing is top notch. The show is funny without going over the top. In fact, this is probably quite a realistic portrayal of life in Texas. One worth watching.
