Middle Class ?
editThis term used here may need a gloss or a link to explain it.
To persons outside the USA, Hill and his friends don’t seem ‘middle class’. They are too vulgar, ignorant, narrow and gauche. Elsewhere in the Western world, they would rank as ‘lower-middle’, the class to which tradesmen and van drivers and shop-assistants belong. Hill would rank low even within that class, being too dumb even to have learned a trade.
‘Middle-class’ elsewhere implies education and professional status, plus a higher income, sophistication, good taste...
Perhaps the term ‘middle American’ might apply to Hill & Co. ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:44B8:3102:BB00:F1CE:2CA6:AC9A:459C (talk) 20:09, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- Since nowhere in the article does it contain a source for the "middle-class" or "upper-middle-class" assertions, I have removed them from the article. There is much more that is unsourced. Someone probably needs to go through this with a WP:V-toothed comb. Elizium23 (talk) 01:26, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Potential 2022 Revival/Second run
editPresent in the infobox is already pushing it, but better than nothing for editors who won’t let this go. Long gap leads to revival, or second run, not an ongoing series from 1997; see The X-Files, Doctor Who, Futurama, Cold Feet, Twin Peaks, Beavis and Butt-Head, Arrested Development. Project is in development, does not mean it is renewed, does not mean episodes are being actively produced, does not mean a syndication deal has been signed, and when any of those happen, still need a confirmed/cited start date before there’s really anything to insert in the infobox.
For now, cited references say it is in development. Hopefully it does not end up in tv version of development hell and will soon advance to pre-production, which still is not a done deal. With luck, will soon thereafter move into actual production, post-production, and then start airing on our TVs and streaming platforms.
Really hoping Judge pulls this off, this is a great show. For now, we can cheer for him, cross our fingers, use our birthday wishes, but this article can not state possibility as fact until he succeeds, with a product on the air. Jmg38 (talk) 13:13, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
Revival canceled.
editWe received news that the development of a King of the Hill revival is now canceled. Can you remove all mentions of the proposed revival in this page? 69.255.225.138 (talk) 22:54, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

- Sorry I put "We". It was revealed by Fox president Michael Thorn saying that they want to focus on new shows. 69.255.225.138 (talk) 15:21, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
Disney owns the rights
editYeah, 20th Television no longer distributed their own material anymore. I'm sorry, but Disney-ABC Domestic Television distributes all the 20th Century Fox shows now. FlapjackRulez (talk) 15:59, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
