Trivia:
In addition to providing the voice of Luann, Brittany Murphy voiced the young Joseph Gribble. When Joseph hit puberty, Breckin Meyer took over the role. moreGoofs:
Continuity: It's clearly implied that Hank and the guys graduated from high school in the seventies, yet when Bill runs off to join the Army, the Quarterflash song Harden My Heart can be heard. This song was released in 1981. The episode "How to Fire a Rifle Without Really Trying" is about Hank being unable to shoot. But in the episode "Luanne's Saga" a skeet trophy from 1975 can be seen on the shelf in Hank's den. moreQuotes:

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.
