Better then the Simpsons, Jun 23 2004
This review is from: King Of The Hill: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
The TV show altogether is better then the Simpsons and every other animated show. Unlike most every show on televion King of the Hill can make laughs and entertain you without the use of of crude sexual content, violence, obscene language or most any other immoral elements that pollute our television. Aside from that... The DVD is great. The first and second season DVDs are better then both Family Guy and the Simpsons. What I love the most about the King of the Hill DVD is the commentary on the episodes with the characters from the show. For instance... On the first boxset, Peggy and Bobby make comments through 2 epsisodes. Similar to how directors make comments, only this is something fun that you actually want to watch.

So great! Where is Season 3???, Jun 13 2004
This review is from: King Of The Hill: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
King of the Hill is like the more intelligent, mature and down at heel cousin to The Simpsons. The characters and comedy are not loud and in-your-face, stories develop at their own leisurely pace and it's also far closer to reality than Homer Simpson or Peter Griffin. Henry 'Hank' Hill is a man with no pretensions or ideas above his station with simple morals and values. He may be old-fashioned and easily embarrassed but it's easier to identify with him than either of the two aforementioned characters. His pals are the craziest bunch of oddballs. Boomhauer with his unintelligible speech, Bill Dauterive, the lonely army barber with a runaway wife and (my fave character) Dale Gribble, the exterminator so cowardly he'll runaway from even the slightest confrontation and so paranoid and full of conspiracy theories he can't even realize his wife's blatant affair not right under his nose but punching him in the face. Though Brittany Murphy is an absolute star as Luanne. A sweet but lost girl with the nicest, softest voice in the world. Watching her interact with Bobby, Hank's underdeveloped and easily distracted son, is brilliant. This box set features all 22 episodes from Season 2 (ending in a great cliffhanger!) with LOADS of extras and commentaries. These box sets put The Simpsons DVDs to shame with extras that are actually interesting. I want Season 3 right now!!! The insert inside the box claims it came out this Spring but it's been delayed for music licensing reasons. But I cannot wait any longer! All 22 episodes are presented in 1.33:1 Full Frame with above average sounding Dolby 2.0 sound.
