The complete wit, wisdom and worldly knowledge of the TV animation star Hank Hill.

`I had neighbours who would hang around on Saturday and compare their power tools. I always wanted to do something with that, the kind of guys who love to stare at their truck engine, sipping beers and talking about what's wrong with it.' Mike Judge

King of the Hill came to Channel 4 in the summer of 97 and immediately threatened to out-do The Simpsons as a cultural phenomenon. Is it time for Homer to roll over and make way for another paunchy loser? In the style of the best-selling Bart Simpson's Guide to Life, Hank Hill's reflections on life, the world and the universe offer a brilliant slice of the real America.
