Fox won't renew 'King of the Hill'

Quote:
Thirteen has proven not-so-lucky for Fox's veteran animated comedy "King of the Hill."

After several previous brushes with cancellation, the network has opted not to renew the series beyond its current 13th season.

In April, Fox picked up 13 more episodes from the 20th Century Fox TV-produced show, which are wrapping production.

A lot has changed since "King of the Hill" premiered in 1997. Its creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge have moved on to other projects -- Daniels developed and is running NBC's "The Office," and Judge has a new animated series, "The Goode Family," launching on ABC in midseason.

...

Fox is introducing two new animated series in midseason, Mitch Hurwitz's "Sit Down, Shut Up" and the "Family Guy" spinoff "The Cleveland Show."

Re: Fox won't renew "King of the Hill"

Unless I am way, way off this means that if current production is the end, they will have about 2 seasons of episodes (through 2010 at the way they are going to run them) new in the can.

Or, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that would leave them about 26 episodes total.. does anyone know for sure?

KOTH is the only non-atrocious Fox cartoon now. But it's not exactly snuffed out before its time. It had a great run, but I think it's time to end.

And it's past time to release the rest of it on DVD.

Looks like ABC might pick it up.

Personally, I think it's a great show. It has always had limited appeal so I guess it's a surprise that it's lasted this long anyway.

It was time for the show to go. Unless you all want to see it become was "The Simpsons" has for the passed 10+ years.
