That's too bad. It wasn't hilarious, but it had some good episodes. Plus, all they do is drink beer, and talk about vehicles and power tools. You aren't a man if you don't do those things. :P

I don't get it. He said it was a thinking man's animated comedy, and I just didn't get it? I did... I laughed occasionally, but there was no draw to the show. It was at best, for me, a time waster, as I waited for prime time shows.

Indeed. I don't really know of anyone who clinged to each episode and tivo'd it or anything like that. It was just something to watch when there was nothing better on. I'd say if I had to rate the series, I'd give it about a 6.5/10. Definitely not the worst show out there, and it was watchable, but there are many more out there that are much better.

i could never figure out how king of the hill had been on so long. if people remember they canceled futurama then family guy but king of the hill was still on even tho i didnt know any one that watched it. now they cancel king of the hill and family guy has been back for a while and futurama is comin back soon. this is the way they should have done it in the first place.

Unlike both The Simpsons and Family Guy, King of the Hill has stayed strong since the beginning and has kept animated comedy alive on that channel. This is unfortunate news indeed, especially when they decide to keep FG and Simpsons going despite them being utterly terrible compared to their earlier forms.

That's just the thing... when your audience becomes more tasteless, it thus becomes broader, so you'd have to be a fool to keep the show with the smaller audience going.

Hank and his buddies were pretty good characters though. His buddy Bill just depressed me.

It did satire in a way few cartoons can match. I didnt watch it weekly, but when ever i sit through an episode im not dissapointed. Its pretty much the only cartoon i can think of that could be live action.... Nothing totally crazy happens, and yet its still entertaining.

Personally, I think that King Of The Hill was absolute rubbish and not funny in any what what so ever, but that is just my opinion. Also, by looking through this thread it seems as though a lot of GameSpot members didn't like the show either. I am actually glad it has gone because I was sick of hearing about it. No offense.

I can't believe people are calling new episodes of the Simpsons trash compared to KOTH. At least new episodes of the Simpsons bring me a few laughs each episode (even if they aren't as clever as they could be) unlike the past few seasons of KOTH where I sat on my couch without even smiling once, wondering when Family Guy was going to start or if Sunday Night Football was on yet.

This is Fox being Fox,

I didn't love King of the Hill, but it was watchable and had its moments. The ratings are not terrible considering how brutal the timeslot is, and this seems to be more of a making room for something else rather then a cancelation, which like Dark Angel was canceled even though it had ok ratings to make room for Firefly.

I would imagine the Cleveland Show will be slid right into that timeslot and survive a season.

How brutal it was? Anyone that wanted to watch animated shows, watched animated shows on Fox during that time. Being stuck between two of the most popular shows isn't brutal.

I feel like they've really been trying to use him more in the series. It's like one last desperate attempt to prove to people he's not a boring character, but I beg to differ. The Cleveland show will more than likely bomb.

I can't believe they dared to cancel Futurama and left King Of The Hill on all these years. Imagine how many awesome episodes of Futurama we'd have by now if they hadn't cancelled it. Shame.

How much you wanna bet that Fox decided to cancel King of the Hill to make room for The Cleveland Show? It's one thing to cancel a show, but to do it in favor for a spin-off show whose main character wasn't interesting to begin with does kinda blow.

Hallenbeck77

I agree, jeez this sucks so much ;(. Yet to have a show get cancelled on me that I really liked, watch it almost every day on FX :(.

Everything dies eventually. The Simpson's will probably die out around the 21st season.

Not too thrilled with this, although recently the show just hasn't been the same. I did like the addition of Lucky however, he's been very good for the show imo. Would rather see family guy canned...I HATE that show.
