I guess it has been on the air, for what, 12-13 years now?

Happy Trails” to Hank Hill and the gang.
Love the episode where he sees Ronaldus Magnus and says “I miss that man”. I teared up.

You know, I was always hesitant to start watching King of the Hill because I thought it would be another lefty parody of what a conservative family looked like (and here I live in Southern California, so I’m not even a Texan!).
Boy was I amazed when I started watching it! I haven’t watched the show regularly in a long time, but I occasionally catch it on reruns.
All of the characters have their foibles — but they love their country, their fellow man, and their common sense always triumphs against the “grand architects” of government and liberalism.
Very endearing show.

The show could really be real in some areas of Texas. I swear I think I know some people exactly like those characters - I love the junior high school being named after Tom Landry...

I know a man who is Hank Hill. I worked with this guy for a few years - the man was gold.
God Bless the Hank Hill’s of this world.

I see what your saying. My buddy has an online cartoon series he produces based entirely on HS/town characters, and it's hilarious!!!
Of course “the names are changed to protect the innocent”. Thank you Sgt. Joe Friday.

Haven't watched the show in years, but one of my all-time favorite quotes was from Dale:
"Guns don't kill people. The government does."

One of my all-time favorite TV shows. So long, Hank....Extraordinarily well done show.
I have given their new attempt at doing virtually the same show from a liberal perspective (The Goode Family) every chance. I watched every episode waiting for it to 'find its legs' and found it painfully unfunny.
A little Hank wisdom:
Bobby, I didn't think I'd ever need to tell you this, but I would be a bad parent if I didn't. Soccer was invented by European ladies to keep them busy while their husbands did the cooking.

In TN we love KOTH! Hank just cracks me up when he rolls his eyes at some incompetent..including his friends. But in the end, he loves his family and his friends, even Cotton! So sad to see it go :(

I’ll miss this show.
I think FR has more than its share of ‘Hank Hills,’ who have been great online help to some of us single women out here.
