King Of The Hill: Season Six DVD Review:

This spin-off animation show began as a gimmick to make fun of rednecks in Texas, but coming into the sixth season the characters have become more developed. Many of the animated characters started and caricatures but have finally developed into something more. It is still just a silly show full of stereotypes but it is improving. Hank Hill was originally a character in the MTV series, Beavis and Butt-head, and the Mike Judge created this Simpson’s style animation show.

All of the favorite characters are back for the sixth season. Hank, the former high school football champ turned propane salesman has more problems with his tough father Cotton while trying to toughen up his son. Bobby is the pudgy son that enjoys creative things rather than sports and cars like Hank would like. This season Bobby makes some discoveries about love when he breaks up with the Asian girl next door. Hank’s wife Peggy is still a know-it-all, competitive at the drop of a hat. Her substitute teaching gets her into trouble this season when her horrible Spanish causes her to get arrested in Mexico. Hank’s buddies are back as well, each with their own interesting episode or two.

Although King of the Hill has a number of recognizable actors doing the voices alongside Mike Judge, either as members of the family or guest stars, chances are you won’t be able to recognize their voices. The thick Texan accents are one reason why, but they also do a great job of making it more about the characters than the actors doing the voices. The delivery isn’t as sharp as most animated shows, but this just allows for more focus on the characters and the situations rather than on quick one-liners.

The sixth season takes the Hill family to Japan, the Renaissance Fair, Mexico and more. There are actually two episodes with Mexico, the second being the one where Hank and his friends go to get beer when Texas runs out of their favorite. The DVD has all 21 episodes from season six on three double-sided discs. The season finale is double length as well. The three discs are fit into slim disc cases in a small box set with cover art of Hank and friends having a food fight at a barbeque. Each of the main menus on the discs have quotes from certain episodes playing. This can be quite entertaining out of context even if it is less than humorous in context.
