The thirteenth and final season of King of the Hill originally aired Sunday nights on the Fox Broadcasting Company from September 28, 2008 to September 13, 2009.[1][2]
Production
The showrunners for the season were John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky.[3] Beginning with the episode "Lucky See, Monkey Do", King of the Hill started being produced in 720p high-definition. 20th Century Fox Television initially ordered 13 DABE[4] production episodes, but decided to keep the show in production for four additional episodes (DABE14–DABE17).
Because FOX wanted to make room for new shows on their "Animation Domination" line-up, the final six DABE episodes were cut down to two ("The Boy Can't Help It" and "To Sirloin with Love"). Both episodes aired as a special one-hour series finale on September 13, 2009. The other four unaired episodes ("The Honeymooners," "Bill Gathers Moss," "When Joseph Met Lori, and Made Out with Her in the Janitor's Closet," and "Just Another Manic Kahn-Day") ended up airing on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim line-up and in syndication on local affiliates during 2010. "To Sirloin with Love" is still considered to be the final episode of the series, despite not being the last episode to air, as it was the last episode being produced for the series as well as the intended unannounced series finale.
Although this is the final season of the series, during the panel discussion for the return of Beavis and Butt-head (another Mike Judge's TV show) at Comic-Con 2011, Judge said that no current plans exist to revive King of the Hill, although he would not rule out the possibility of it returning.[5]
