King Of The Hill is a rare bird. It's rare in that its most prominent feature is the fact that there's nothing particularly prominent about it; whereas Family Guy has its flashbacks and The Simpsons has its citizenry of veritable sociopaths, this is just A Show About A Guy, and that's what makes it stand out so much among its animated brethren. Don't get me wrong, though, this is a good thing; if anything KOTH shows us that subtlety is not a dead art, and that people don't have to act unrealistically in order to be so bizarre, it's funny.
It's funny. Yup.
