List of episodes

The tenth season of King of the Hill originally aired Sundays at 7:30–8:00 p.m. (EST) on the Fox Broadcasting Company from September 18, 2005 to May 14, 2006.[1][2][3]

Production

[edit]

The showrunners for the season were John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky.[4] The majority of episodes in this season are holdover episodes from the season 9 (9ABE) production line, as well as one episode from the season 8 (8ABE) production line ("Bystand Me"). The AABE production line (much like The Simpsons 3G production line for seasons eight and nine) is a short-lived line and only lasts for five episodes (four airing this season and the fifth airing as a holdover episode in the eleventh season).
