A hilarious slice of middle-class life in small-town America, "King of the Hill" has become one of the most beloved and long-running prime-time animated series in television history. Outrageously funny, but remarkably truthful, the series follows the exploits of propane salesman Hank Hill (Mike Judge) as he reigns over a family of underachievers, a group of beer-guzzling friends, and the everyday challenges of life in Arlen, Texas. Comprised of all 22 episodes from season twelve, this three-disc collection featured guest appearances from Ed Begley Jr., Fred Willard, Patrick Bristow, Abby Elliott, Melinda Clarke, David Koechner, Chris Elliott, and Ted Danson.
