A smart, loopy spoof full of Everyman truth. [10 Jan 1997]

Both extremely funny and intelligent. Read full review

Ann Hodges

A surprisingly sweet, frequently funny show. [28 Jan 1997]

Tom Shales

Jul 11, 2013

For a cartoon, it's defiantly slow, sometimes a virtual still-life. And yet there's something curiously compelling about its utterly trivial everyday goings-on. [11 Jan 1997]

Phil Gallo

Jul 11, 2013

Debut is plenty funny yet Fox has a tough job ahead trying to lure ["Beavis & Butt-head"] audiences, which may grow tired of the comic targets, or "The Simpsons" crowd, which may find the antics too restrained. [10 Jan 1997]

Howard Rosenberg

It totes a few smiles, but little to bowl you over, and it takes a spell getting used to. Read full review

Caryn James

Jul 11, 2013

Maybe "King of the Hill" is trying a tricky balancing act, hoping to please people who look down on the Hills and people who can identify their neighbors on the show. Whatever the series hopes to do, it better move fast. So far it suffers severely from a lack of funny lines. [11 Jan 1997]

Adding the Everyday life of a middle-American family. Having a character that everyone can relate to. Bill, the depressed Army Barber. Dale, the paranoid freak. Boomhauer, the womanizer. And Hank, the everyday middle American. But those are just the main characters! There's someone for everyone to like and enjoy in this show. I was really sad to hear they aren't gonna make any more. Hell, even my Screen-name is "spoofing" the show!… Expand
