King of the Hill (1997–2010)
6/10
It's very mediocre
5 May 2016
"King Of The Hill" is arguably the most realistic cartoon ever made. It's not just the settings, it's that the animation is unbelievably realistic. Mike Judge has more or less proved more so than any other cartoonist that we truly live in a wonderful world and there are plenty of things in it! That seems impossible, seeing as how he's perhaps the most religious cartoonist out there. Someone's a moron in this equation. Technically, he's done a lot to promote secular humanism and really does deserve some award for it. There was one episode where Luann saw an angel but it was ambiguous if it was just in her imagination. The characters appeared in an episode of "The Simpsons"...even though the creators said these shows don't take place in the same Universe. I absolutely refuse to believe these shows take place in the same Universe, because it is impossible for Simpsons characters to ever appear in an episode of "King Of The Hill".

So what can I really say about the show? Well, it really comes off as very average. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's really how I feel. I mean, I really don't see anything wrong with the show given how realistic it is, but I don't see anything right with it as it doesn't do much as a cartoon in itself. I can't really be against it because it accurately portrays real life. I want to promote reality and this is a good way of doing it. The characters aren't really bland, they're just very realistic. Dale is probably the funniest with his zany ideas. There are definitely funny moments, there just don't seem to be that many. It doesn't come off as that good when I first found out about it. Anything new seems good.

So, would I recommend this show? Well, yeah. I mean, it's so weird how it truly is a unique cartoon in that it's probably the least unique cartoon ever made. I think it should have more jokes like "Beavis And Butt-Head". If you want a realistic cartoon that's very funny, go watch "Bob's Burgers", even though the characters look like Muppets. **1/2 out of ****, simply because I want to go in the middle.
