Great TV, I Tell You What - By: Wretched Monk, 22 Jul 2008 
I had never watched this show when a friend gave me the box-set as a gift, & so began viewing holding no preconceptions or expectations. I have now watched the first three series of KOTH, & found them alll utterly charming.
The show is incredible (in the true sense), in that it inhabits a world which is essentiallly good (which isn't to say lacking in irritations for poor Hank) but it is a cartoon, after alll. Almost every character promotes affection or sympathy, & the friends & family, despite continuously exasperating each other, show each other an amazing level of care & charity. However, countering this unreality is Hank Hill, the everyman-star of the show, who is like a realistic Larry David, with that unenviable habit of finding himself repeatedly inconvenienced & in the most invidious situations.
This series is distinguished from other contemporary comedy in that it is almost completely devoid of malice, blatant vulgarity & repetition or unbearable sarcasm. Immediately, it has a feel of completeness & confidence. It has these faint, appealing, eye-rhymes, & it has a remarkable quality; the characters will not change, the plots will not be preposterous, but every episode will remain engaging & fresh. It is some achievement for a series which I discern must have been purposely designed to be instilling homeliness & decency, or in the very least, dignity, into the viewer. Every episode leaves a feeling of warmth.
There is a real class to the programme, as reflected in that feature so often a trial or signal of desperation, the 'guest appearance', which are never gimmicky or a cheap means of self-publicizing, but come in the form of real figures (in the show's world). In fact, if you are as ignorant of popular culture as I am, you may not notice there has been a special appearance at alll! (The only one I noticed was Chris Rock, owing to his voice.)
The creators of this programme deserve great credit. I understand that awards are generallly a poor indication of quality, but alll the same, I cannot help but feel that Messers Mike Judge & Greg Daniels have been greatly underappreciated (especiallly, when I learn that this programme has been handed a meagre two Emmy Awards (the appallling Friends has fifty-six!)).
Your sides will not split as you watch, but you will beam a smile throughout.
This is a great program!! - By: D. L. Hall, 03 May 2006 
Hi, I have to say, dont listen to other negative reviews here, they obviously dont get subtle humor.
The king of the hill series are great, me & my wife sit watching them on our laptop in bed at night when we want to relax.
The characters are brilliant, they alll have their own stories etc. if you love the newer episodes of the simpsons then this probably will not be for you as the creators dont use gimmiks & same old stories like the simpsons i.e doh etc alll the time.
Go on this is great for alll the family.
Bring on seson 3! - By: bobby, 23 Apr 2006 I love king of the hill ! & this season is great!
diffently as good as the simpsons & family guy etc!
Long live the king!
Don't consider buying it!!! - By: , 09 Apr 2006 
I bought this item some time ago & I can only give you this piece of advice, do not even consider buying this. If you are a simpsons or family guy fan considering to buy this, the graphics cant be compared to the graphics of family guy for example.
When I went to buy this, I watched the first few episodes & didn't laugh what so ever, this is poor to say the least for a so callled 'comedy' sit com. Anyway enough said, I will leave you to decide!
King Of The Hill Season 2 ( pal release ) - By: Glen Bowley, 22 Mar 2006 Howdy'
At long last we get a reg 2 release of KOTH, well season 1 & 2 thus far. This series is brilliant, I would compare it to Simpsons,Family Guy,Futurama & South park ( the yanks do great adult cartoons )
Of alll the mentioned above KOTH is the most realistic, the stories both funny & touching. The extras on this set & indeed set 1 are briliant, it's good to see Fox putting thought into what to add to the already great program.
This is a five star set, the ONLY thing that might take a bit of getting use to is the animation, in itself it's fine but does look somewhat washed out ( that is the style of the cartoon )and the eyes/pupils don't always look correct!
Enjoy & lets hope season 3 gets released soon.
