Fox ends ‘King of the Hill’
After 13 years, Fox is ending the animated series King of the Hill.

Low ratings and several cancellation brush-ins have befallen the series, which will wrap up production on its final 13 episodes and then end.

When the show began in 1997 it had initial success, mostly thanks to the masterminds behind the show, creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge.

Both have since creatively left the show, Judge is now working on ABC’s new animated series The Good Family while Daniels has been working on The Office.

Mike Judge continues to voice the lead character Hank Hill.

Two new animated series are on the slate for Fox in 2009 – Sit Down, Shut Up and the Family Guy spinoff, The Cleveland Show.

I gave the show a chance time after time but it continued to fail. I felt the humor was very dry and tacky. 13 years of airtime wasted by a lousy show.

FOX = Fail.

I thought King of the Hill was consistently funny. It was never spectacular, but rarely bad. Solid show. The show that needs to be canceled is The Simpsons. Its become an absolute embarrassment to its former self.

This is very true. I grew up to The Simpsons and now I refuse to watch what the show has become. Matt Groaning (spelling?) needs to stick with Futurama, seriously.

Fox is the worst. They cancel the best shows, and let the decent shows run until they turn to utter crap.

Firefly is amazing, and they canceled it after 14 episodes.
Arrested Development was one of the funniest shows I'd ever watched, and they canceled it (at least they gave it about 50 or so episodes, as opposed to Firefly).

They do air two of my favorite shows still, though - 24 and Prison Break. 24 is safe from cancellation by now, I think, but if Prison Break gets canceled, I'll kill them.

I've only seen a few episodes but each time is was decent, but never really hilarious. I did like it though, so it's a shame. Still, 13 years is quite an achievement!
And I agree with Andrey about Arrested Development. It's baffling!

I didn't even know it was still going but I love King of the Hill; acquired taste methinks.

Time to cancel Simpsons like Apple said.

I like King of the Hill :( but I've noticed that some of the more recent episodes haven't been as great. Such is the way with nearly every series when it meets it's inevitable fate of cancellation.


GREAT, ANOTHER SHOW BY THE MAKERS OF FAMILY GUY!'

Oh, and I suppose that means that Cleveland will be leaving the Family Guy show.

But you see, The Simpsons could randomly improve since the writers change every season. And this is probably just Fox's way to get back at Mike Judge for making a new animated series on a different channel.

Good bye, so long, get the hell out of Dodge!

I hate that show. Hated it even more so since the creators went from Beavis and Butthead to that piece of crap.

Bring B&B back to redeem yourself!

Never really watched it, but when I did it was pretty mediocre. No big loss to me.

That's too bad, I've always been a pretty big King of the Hill fan. Sad to see it go.
