King of the Hill has always been a refreshing counterpoint to its zanier peers, The Simpsons and Family Guy. Whereas those shows have far-fetched storylines and absurdist gags, King of the Hill is a very grounded, realistic show. The Hills aren’t caricatures; they’re living, breathing people. The dialogue isn’t just setups and punchlines; it’s real, naturalistic, human conversations that happen to be really funny. King of the Hill has always affectionately ribbed the culture and customs of its Texan setting, but Texas and its people have never been the butt of the joke. It’s the cartoon equivalent of a Norman Rockwell painting, capturing the heart of Americana in all its wholesome, pastel-colored glory.
