Product Description
The adventures of Hank Hill and his family and friends in a modern Texas town.
Genre: Television
Rating: NR
Release Date: 6-FEB-2007
Media Type: DVD
Amazon.com
With the Huxtables long gone, the Hills of Arlen, Texas, may just be television's most functional family. They are certainly one of the funniest as they struggle to appreciate "the little things in life while some big things are wrong and evil," as "sweet and trusting" Peggy learns in the classic episode "Peggy's Headache," in which Peggy is the last to discern that Dale's wife has had a decades-long affair with John Redcorn. Likewise, in "Death and Taxes," Peg is conned by an alleged former student, now a Death Row inmate, to unwittingly smuggle him cocaine. Hank, who is aptly described at one point as "a good husband with a good head on his shoulders," is the lone voice of reason in "Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men," in which he joins a focus group to rate a new "yuppified" model of his beloved lawnmower. At least he has come to terms with his son Bobby's desire to become a prop comic, and his wistfulness at the prospect of Bobby one day leaving home in "Hank's Cowboy Movie" is just one of many "sweet family moments" that elevate this series. The third season is a pivotal one for Bobby, whose coming-of-age misadventures include his devastating first adolescent crush on an older student in "And They Call It Bobby Love," a father-son hunting trip in "Good Hill Hunting," becoming Connie's boyfriend in "Love Hurts... And So Does Art," and marriage (don't ask) in "The Wedding of Bobby Hill." The Simpsons gets all the glory, but I'll tell you what, the writing in King of the Hill is no less incisively brilliant, its core ensemble no less indelible, and its star power no less impressive. Guest voices this season include Mary Tyler Moore as the new minister in "Revenge of the Lutefisk," Sarah Michelle Gellar in "And They Call It Bobby Love," Billy Bob Thornton in "Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men," Buddy Ebsen in "A Firefighting We Will Go," Uta Hagen, Betty White, and Phyllis Diller in "Escape From Party Island," and, as himself, a very gracious Chuck Mangione in "Death of a Propane Salesman." Unlike the previous two sets, there are no extras; but who needs commentaries? Such benchmark episodes as "To Spank With Love," in which Peggy is dubbed "Paddlin' Peggy" after spanking an unruly student, eloquently speak for themselves. --Donald Liebenson

 Great Show, TERRIBLE and CHEAP DVD's August 22, 2008
Schloboda (Philly, PA)
I love King of the Hill, it's one of the smartest and funniest adult cartoons out there. But FOX does it NO service with this crappy DVD set. NO EXTRAS, NO NOTHING, just double sided DVD's, FOX has obviously taken the CHEAP way out.
Once again FOX treats King of the Hill with absolultey NO RESPECT OR CLASS. Too bad the show wasn't on another network.
Also another reason why FOX has not released any other seasons after season 6 on DVD. CHEAP SOB'S!!
FOX SUCKS, King of the Hill deserves much better and we the consumers deserve a lot better than these cheap, bargin basement quality (but NOT bargin basement priced!!!!!!) dvd sets.

It was pretty funny and "emmy award winning". Anyway I think that they should have commentary for more than the first and second season, the commentaries done by the characters were hilarious. But, all in all it is a funny animated show.
Also when are the other seasons supposed to come out? I have been waiting forever and a day!
Bonus Features? February 27, 2006

This is my favorite TV Series ever, and, in case you don't know already - this season was positively excellent. It breaks my heart to give this 2 stars, but the season 1 and 2 DVD collections had gobs of bonus features - deleted scenes, character comentary, making of featurrettes, you name it, it was there. There is no bonus content for the season 3 (and onwards) DVDs at all. Nothing. Even the menus feel cheap and tacked on. It's like they spent no time on these things. They crammed everything onto double sided disks to save a few bucks, and gave us no extra content because that would cost them 1 extra disk - like, 50 cents extra per DVD set.
I want to cry, and I want my 30 dollars back. I don't know about you, but I can see the episodes on TV already, the extra features are why I buy the DVDs.
