-
A smart, loopy spoof full of Everyman truth. [10 Jan 1997]
-
Both extremely funny and intelligent.
-
A surprisingly sweet, frequently funny show. [28 Jan 1997]
-
Promising. [10 Jan 1997]
-
Sweet and whimsical. [12 Jan 1997]
-
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]
-
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]
-
It totes a few smiles, but little to bowl you over, and it takes a spell getting used to.
-
King of the Hill walks a fine line between celebrating its characters and making fun of them, between being populist and reactionary. Only time will tell if it can successfully negotiate that line. [12 Jan 1997]
-
An old-fashioned sitcom.
-
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]
