The King of the Hill crew ... on the Fox lot July 22, 2008, celebrating the 250th episode.
Yesterday afternoon I walked through KOTH's production space at Film Roman. There's a few artists, supervisors, checkers and directors wrapping things up, but mostly it's paper and artwork going into boxes as the show completes its long run.
A lot of people left last Friday. The rest of us go this week. Know of any shows anywhere that are starting up?"
So it's adios to the King ... after 13 seasons and 250+ episodes.
The atmosphere was more cheery up in Simpsons land,where the staff is a little more relaxed now that they know they have two more seasons on which to work. But ...
"The funny thing is, Gracie Films hasn't yet given us the word. Richard Raynis likes to keep people off-balance ..."
Ah, the irrepressible Mr.Raynis. Boosting employee morale wherever he goes ...

I have no idea how that show lasted as long as it did. Consider yourself lucky.
Adieu, KOTH. You were hilarious and you will be missed.
King of the Hill was the classiest of the Fox shows. Certainly better than Family guy and even better in many ways than the Simpsons. IMHO
A great show with an extremely talented crew. I only hope The Goode Family gets renewed and expanded so they can easily get jobs again.
Don't be surprised if it comes back when one of Fox's other shows tanks.
I suppose it's spite in one form or another, but I hate to see such snide, negative comments in our forum. All animation is a good contribution to our culture if it makes someone laugh (and someone laughs at all these shows, you can be sure.) I'm sorry to see King of the Hill go and hope Fox replaces it with one of their new pilots-in-the-making very soon. My sympathy concerning the job loss to the artists of that crew and my really good things come to them through the change! Good luck!

Does anyone know if King of the Hill started as a live action series?
I am looking for a particular episode. In said episode, Mr. Strickland asked Hank to make a "propane run" for him. He then puts a brown paper bag on the desk that says, "Bury this in the woods." Hilarious! However, I don't recall what else happend in the episode. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
