LOS ANGELES "King of the Hill" is over the hill at Fox, which is canceling the long-running animated comedy.
Final episodes of the half-hour series, now in its 13th year, likely will air during the 2009-10 season, Fox said Friday. The network recently ordered 13 new episodes, and animated series have a long production schedule.
"King of the Hill" chronicles the life of blue-collar family man Hank Hill of Texas and his family and friends. Hank is voiced by series co-creator and executive producer Mike Judge. Others in the cast include Kathy Najimy, Brittany Murphy and Stephen Root.

That was a fun show to watch its first two years or so.
Until the originality and uniqueness wore off.
I’ll miss ol’ Hank and Paiggy ... paranoid Dale Gribble, too. But, they’ve been heading into gay for Bobby, and I really don’t want to see that, funny as it no doubt would be at the hands of the writers. Time to call it a day.
I said good day!
Excelsior!
That last episode of Wonder Years was really sad.
This season has been a downer so far and I’m not surprised.. They should cancel the Simpsons too..
Hank would never vote Obama.
Wish it was the Simpsons. I used to love that show but now it is nothing more than propaganda for the left. Their relentless attacks on Fox News. Countless environmental messages. Evil capitalism. But when they did an episode dedicated to the Dixie Chicks that was obviously not even intended to be funny; that was the final straw.
I know some people are going to say that they take swipes at the left too. To that I say, MSNBC on occasionally has Republicans on it, big deal. Same with Family Guy, so what Rush Limbaugh was on it. They hate us. They loathe everything we stand for.
You know, this show would’ve been so much better had it been live with real people. The animation is cheesy, but overall the show was pretty good, with a good dose of populist-conservatism.
“That ain’t right!”
“Look at my lawn, there’s something wrong with it.
It’s like a pretty girl with short hair!”
That was a fun show to watch its first two years or so.
Until the originality and uniqueness wore off.
I agree.
that boy aint right.
I visited Garland TX, which I believe is Mike Judge’s inspiration for Hank Hill’s fictional Arlen. Homes looked a lot like Hank’s neighborhood. Swear I heard Boomhauer; I even think I saw the MegaLo Mart! :0)
If you lived in Texas or grew up here it would be funnier than it is. Everyone knows Hank, Dale, Bill and Boomhower if they have lived here long enough.
My favorite shows ALWAYS get axed.
