Dangit, Bobby! Fox cancels "King of the Hill"

[Elok]

Eh, I didn't think it was bad. Actually liked it better than the Simpsons' latter seasons. It's simply a more low-key brand of humor than the rest of their cartoon lineup, less reliant on shock value and throwaway pop-culture gags.

Haven't watched it or any other TV in about a year now, but it's still not bad IMO.

There's a Simpsons coming up soon that was written entirely by Seth Rogan of Knocked Up/40YO Virgin/Superbad fame.

They did cancel Family Guy.

Well lets roll up our sleeves and finish the job.

The Simpsons should have died after 2001.

Given how constantly it mocks stupid Texans, you'd think it'd be a bit more popular here.

I'm with Elok. King of the Hill was quality; maybe not as wacky as some of Fox's other offerings, but it's a good show.

Clearly inferior to Futurama, but that's true of every cartoon aired on Fox since it was cancelled. Can't wait for the new Futurama movie next week!

I agree, I stopped watching them years ago....

King of the Hill wasn't bad. At least it didn't need to be constantly "blue" or disgusting like Family Guy does. And American Dad is horrible. And The Simpsons was over way before 2001. And Furturama is over-rated.

King of the Hill was good for the first 4 seasons or so. It should have been taken out behind the barn and shot years ago.

What's with all the hate for American Dad? I often find it even funnier than Family Guy.

Don't even get me started on Futurama. It tried way too hard to be funny.

Best seasons:

King of the Hill: 2-4
Simpsons: 5-10, 12-14
Family Guy: 3-4, mid-6-current (they have plots again)
American Dad: almost everything since early in the 3rd
Beavis & Butthead: All

QFT. Easily one of the most consistent of Fox's offerings. How many completely unwatchable seasons of Family Guy and American Dad have there been (not to mention the Simpsons)?

It falls into the same camp as Family Guy, I laugh if I happen to see it, but I don't watch it because I don't give a rat's ass about any of the characters. Though I would say Futurama at least tries to be higher quality than Family Guy, which wallows in the low-brow. Not that I have a problem with low-brow humor per se, as the rest of my post will show, but I just don't like Family Guy's tone.

Haven't seen 12-14, but I would say 2-8 of the ones I have seen. And season one was good, but it was admittedly formative, and not up to the quality of later seasons.

Beavis & Butthead: All

Low brow done right.
