Hank is a very outstanding citizen and shows great leadership. He isn't afraid to stand up for himself and always keeps a promise. The other people are iffy. Dale doesn't show much bad citizenship except for the fact that he always smokes. Peggy is a good model. Everyone else could be sometimes bad but mostly good. This show deals with real life problems in your average suburbs and teaches you how deal with it. It is good for everyone to know about these problems and can actually help you. It's a good thing for your kids to be watching because it deals with lifen not fairies, ninjas, ghosts, web show hosts, performing arts rising stars, singing pop stars and etc.
King of The Hill is mainly an adult show, not due to content but due to the themes being set (largely) from the adults perspective.
It does contain some mild swearing and racist terms, but these are outweighed by the context and messages.
There are good role models in the show, Hank and Peggy despite their old values do have good solid messages behind them.
One episode on sexual education has a lot of sexual language and graphic details.. however this is again justified by the overall message of the show, but not suitable for young children.
As said before, ' hon**y' 'cra**er' 'pi**' 's**t' and 'bas**rd' make their way into a good few episodes.
Drinks and smoking are a constant theme and in one episode Hank makes his son smoke a carton of cigarettes as a punishment for smoking one.
Also Hank and his friends are always drinking and smoking in the alley as they chat.
To tell you the truth I don't really like this show. It is not very good. But (despite the tv-14 rating) if your kids want to watch it and they are over the age of 8, it's fine for them.
I enjoyed this show when I was younger, and some episodes are still alright now. I have an 8 year old daughter and I'd think this show was too iffy for a kid that age; there is nothing too extreme in this show like violence/blood, sex or excessive cursing, but it is there in mild doses. The main character is an upstanding man who tries to always do the right thing and lead a wholesome life, there are a lot of stereotypes evident in the show which is always a negative. Ex: Redneck/ignorant Southerners, Asians with heavy accents and the Texans not knowing that there are any other races of Asians except for Chinese and Japanese, trashy and homely women. Are some examples...There is some drinking in this show, on rare occasions someone will get drunk and in one episode Hank smokes marijuana. I'd rate this show off for any child 10-11 and under.
No matter what, Hank (the father) is does or tries his best to do the right thing at what ever cost. That is something I think teenagers should experience, in contrast to Homer Simpson or Peter Griffin.
Its a pretty good show, you know something to watch. And yes they drink beer so what? I bet you are someone close does too. Anyways the show does the average americans house hold swearing so its nothing new when hank says D***.
I watched King of the Hill. This show is awesome because they have a bunch of dumb rednecks that drink beer. They do usually teach a lesson but its not always a good lesson. I would not recommend this show for anyone under 12 because it has a lot of bad language and it usually has a lot of beer and bad stuff in it.
I love this show. Its super funny. Theres minimal language, sexual themes and drinking but none of it is bad comepared to some shows like family guy. Good show classic.
I watch this show whenever it's on. I find it hilarious what they go through and laugh out loud a lot. You have to have a certain taste for this kind of show though.
