From Beavis and Butt-head creator Mike Judge and former The Simpsons writer/producer Greg Daniels comes the down-home hit that proves everything really is bigger in Texas - including the laughs! So pull up a chair and join Hank Hill, his family and his neighbors for a beer-drinking, BBQ-ing good time with the hilarious first season of King of the Hill.

The Complete First Season

This is the first King of the Hill box set, released on July 1, 2003. It contains all thirteen episodes produced (only 12 were aired in Season 1, one episode was held over for broadcast with Season 2) from the first season (1997) spread across three DVD-9s (single-sided, dual layer).

The set features Dolby Digital 2.0 audio in English and Spanish, and is presented in full-frame, with optional closed captions and subtitles in English and Spanish.

This set is the only one to present the episodes in production order; seasons 2 and onward were issued in airdate order.
