King of the Hill cancelled...

:-\

I was all for the "Cleveland Show" but I'd much rather have an animated comedy on TV that is about as far from Family Guy style as you can get.

To be honest I can't believe it made it this long. It's been pretty low profile for the past 8 or 9 years. Basically, I knew it was still on but I didn't really know how much of it was new or not.


But I agree. I hate Family Guy and all that comes with it, so this is a loss for real animation.

Last season was supposed to be the final season, so I'm not surprised.

The Cleavland show is just a retarded concept. I love MacFarlane, but he should get a new IP out there rather than a spin-off of anything. American Dad fared fine, but this... :nono:

It was still going?? There was a lot of fanfare about it over here in about 1996/97... but I thought it ended after a few seasons.

Never a massive fan, but I was younger then. Never given it a second chance.

Never liked it. Won't miss it.

About time.

put me down as also suprised it was still going.

Couldn't agree more.

I hated this show with a passion with no logic to back it up.

I'm not a regular viewer of King of the Hill, but when I do watch it I find it funny. I hate American Dad, pretty sure the Cleveland spin-off will suck, and Family Guy has been so full of itself since they brought it back I can't stand it.

I fucking love this show. This is horrible news for people with taste in animation everywhere.

Agreed.

Always liked King of the Hill. Hasn't had that much to offer in the last few seasons, though. Cleveland Show will tank, fast.

The thing I loved about King of the Hill was how it had genuinely good story telling, not relying completely on random jokes but it also had a ton of ridiculousness. Dale is one of the best animated characters ever and one of my favorite tv characters period.

:y: :(

It should have been cancelled five years ago. I'm really surprised it lasted for as long as it did.

I didn't actually know the show was even on anymore at this point. I was never a particularly big fan, but I enjoyed it whenever I found myself watching it.

As for the Cleveland Show, yeah, there's no way I'm watching that. Seth MacFarlane has gone so far up his own ass that his shows aren't even watchable anymore (especially since nearly all of the jokes now are just references or outright plagiarism)

The Simpsons still has a fanbase that gives it massive ratings. As much as it's probably time to move on, as long as it's still big business, it will remain.

King of the Hill, however, is a mystery since it was never that popular to begin with.

:'(

I agree with above posts. Cleaveland Show I think is a bit dumb as well.

Loved King of the Hill.

I disagree with your second statement.

The "Mmhm." "Mmhmm." "Mmhm." "Yep." thing is very famous. I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't know that and where it's from.


That being said, I love KOTH, but it should've been cancelled at least 3 years ago. I did watch some of the more recent episodes recently on Hulu, and while it's still a very watchable show (Bobby and Dale Gribble are amazing), it doesn't have the same spark it had in the first 4 seasons.

Mike Judge is quite "the man."

k. Single line is famous so the show was popular.

Can't find any flaw in that logic.

I wish they would bring back the Critic instead of doing The Cleveland show.

I love you so much rite now.

That show was amazing.

And off topic...I miss the Tick. :(

The other new show that Fox is bringing in called Class Dismissed could be decent. It's by the guy who did Arrested Development.

Try watching the first 2-3 seasons. Fantastic stuff, way smarter than it is generally given credit for.

I agree with this

Family Guy ripped off The Critic's animation style anyways. Unless the same company does it. No?

I always thought King of the Hill was a spin off of Beavis and Butthead. They just renamed "Anderson" to "Hank Hill", made him younger, and gave him a family. There you go, I'll tell ya whut.

"On closer inspection...I am wearing loafers."

When's this Cleveland show starting? Why the hell have a Cleveland spin-off, of ALL the characters?

They should've made a spin off starring Mayor Adam West.

"Adam West! Adam West!

A little lower this time.

Adam West..... Adam West.....

Perfect."

Tonight's episode about MySpace was hilarious.

It was ok but I am not surprised it got canceled.

His newly introduced family includes his new wife, Donna (Sanaa Lathan<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-autogenerated1_4-0>[5]</SUP>), her 16-year-old daughter, Roberta (Nia Long<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-autogenerated1_4-1>[5]</SUP>) and her 5-year-old son, Rallo.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-5>[6]</SUP> Cleveland Jr. is also in the family, but he is now fourteen and wearing glasses, and is much fatter and older than in his previous appearances on Family Guy.

That is a seriously WEAK premise.

They also have some sort of talking bears as neighbors. Really doesn't sound all that great.

The family just looks like the Black Griffins now. There is a 16 year old daughter, a fat 14 year old son and a toddler/child. Sure, not quite a baby, but may as well be.

Not to mention that Cleveland Jr. aged about 7 years and put on a shitload of weight overnight, apparently.

And talking bears? Really?

I'd have preferred a show just about Cleveland and (the old) Junior. That would have been way stronger.

Apparently ABC is looking into picking up King of the Hill.
