King of the Hill is an American animated sitcom created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels that ran from January 12, 1997 to May 6, 2010 on Fox. It centers on the Hills, a middle-class American family in the fictional city of Arlen, Texas. It attempts to maintain a realistic approach, seeking humor in the conventional and mundane aspects of everyday life. The series debuted on the Fox network as a mid-season in 1997, quickly becoming a hit. The series’ popularity led to worldwide syndication, and reruns formerly aired nightly on Adult Swim from 2009 until 2018. As of July 24, 2018, reruns will air on Comedy Central. The show became one of Fox’s longest-running series (third-longest as an animated series, behind The Simpsons and Family Guy), and briefly was the second longest running animated sitcom in history. In 2007, it was named by Time magazine as one of the top 100 greatest television shows of all time. King of the Hill won two Emmy Awards and was nominated for seven.
