King of the Hill is an American adult animated series created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels that ran from January 12, 1997, to May 6, 2010 on Fox.

In 2007, it was named by [[Time (magazine)|Time magazine]] as one of the top 100 greatest television shows of all time. The title theme was written and performed by The Refreshments. King of the Hill won two Emmy Awards and was nominated for seven.

The series had a total of 259 episodes over the course of its 13 seasons, briefly making it the second-longest running American based animated series of all time behind The Simpsons. The series finale aired on the Fox Network on September 13, 2009. Four episodes from the final season were to have aired on Fox, but later aired in syndication on local stations from May 3 to 6, 2010, and on Adult Swim from May 17 to 20, 2010. King of the Hill was a joint production by 3 Arts Entertainment, Deedle-Dee Productions, Judgemental Films, and 20th Century Fox Television and syndicated by 20th Television.
