King of the Hill is Happy Family Cartoon

King of the Hill, from Office Space writer and director Mike Judge, comes across as a soft, down-to-earth family cartoon. But hidden in the Texan drawls and simple animation are topical jokes, heartfelt dialogue and deep character storylines. Hank, Bobby and Peggy Hill are the center of the action, with Peggy's niece Luanne, their neighbors Bill, Dale and Boomhauer, and other Arlen folks adding to the tempests in teapots.
