King of the Hill – Do you like Hank Hill

The starring character in the Fox TV Show ‘King of the Hill’ is Hank Hill. Hank Hill is the best propane salesman in the fictional town Arlen, Texas. He has a opinionated wife, a disappointing son, and an oppressive father. But Hank Hill keeps a level head and a strong sense of morality, which keeps him ‘King of the Hill’.

Hank Hill in ‘King of the Hill’ is a simple man, probably much closer to an American everyman than Homer Simpson. The best propane salesman in Arlen, Texas. Hank Hill is such a straight-up red-stater that he forbids his son Bobby from writing a school project on President Josiah Bartlet from the West Wing – and makes him extol the virtues of Ronald Reagan instead. Yet Hank Hill, the other Hills and their neighbours in ‘King of the Hill’ are no Republican hicks, whatever Hank’s yuppie Laotian neighbours the Souphanousinphones reckon. They’re just straight-up folk.

King of the Hill is another animation hit from Beavis and Butthead creator Mike Judge, who also voices Hank Hill. Hank is often besieged by the idiosyncrasies of society, but he finds some serenity in his home-life with his wife, substitute Spanish teacher Peggy, his awkward son Bobby and his live-in niece-in-law Luanne Platter. Adding flavor to the ordinary dish the series serves are Hank’s friends, divorcee military barber Bill Dauterive, paranoid Dale Gribble (with an obsession with Government conspiracy theories) and gibberish spouting Boomhauer.
