Middle Class ?

This 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Potential 2022 Revival/Second run

Present 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)[reply]

Revival canceled.

We 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)[reply]

Who is "we"? Dimadick (talk) 06:48, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Revival still going on. Season 1 has already been finished and will be on Hulu soon. Also, Grey DeLisle apparently shared a picture of an adult Bobby Hill on her Instagram the other day; meaning she's likely involved with the show. Emigdioofmiami (talk) 05:41, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disney owns the rights

Yeah, 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)[reply]

prop comedy

Please explain this term. 2403:5807:1A18:0:D02F:D050:D6DE:F4B3 (talk) 18:58, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Population of Arlen, TX (Setting)

In the Setting section, the population of Arlen is stated as 145,300 as shown in the 3rd season episode "Hank's Cowboy Movie" but in the 2nd season episode "Snow Job" the population is shown on a sign as being 1,454 I tell ya what. I think what happened was the animators done goofed up. You know, they teased that a character was going to die in season 2, and someone did in the finale. My guess is it should say 1,453 as another teaser that we would be losing somebody, but I ain't a anthropologist or nothing. 208.68.254.71 (talk) 00:43, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
