==Series synopsis== | ==Series synopsis== | ||
− | '' | + | <!--- |
+ | ''King of the Hill'' is set in the fictional small town of Arlen, [[Texas]]. The show centers around the Hill family, whose head is the ever-responsible, hard-working, loyal, disciplined, and honest [[Hank Hill]] (voiced by [[Mike Judge]]). The pun title refers to Hank as the head of the family as well as metaphorically to the children's game [[King of the Hill (game)|King of the Hill]]. Hank is employed as an assistant manager at Strickland Propane, selling "[[propane]] and propane accessories". He is very traditional and moral, and he takes exceptionally good care of his dog, Ladybird, which he treats, more often than not, as a member of the family and as a human. Hank is married to [[Peggy Hill|Peggy Hill (née Platter)]] (voiced by [[Kathy Najimy]]), a native of [[Montana]], who is a substitute [[Spanish (language)|Spanish]] teacher, although she has little grasp of the language; she has also found employment and avocation as a freelance author, [[Boggle]] champion, [[notary public]], softball pitcher and real estate agent. Her overconfidence and trusting nature often leads her into getting involved in complex schemes that Peggy does not recognize as criminal or irresponsible until it is too late. | ||
− | + | Hank and Peggy's only child, [[Bobby Hill (King of the Hill)|Bobby Hill]] (voiced by [[Pamela Adlon]]), is a husky pre-pubescent boy who is generally friendly and well-liked, but not very bright, and often prone to making bad decisions. Throughout the series, Peggy's niece, Luanne Platter (voiced by [[Brittany Murphy]]), the daughter of her scheming brother Hoyt (guest voiced by [[Johnny Knoxville]] in "Life: A Loser's Manual", the 12th season finale) and his alcoholic ex-wife Leanne (voiced by Adlon in "Leanne's Saga"), lives with the Hill family. Naïve and very eal, Luanne was originally encouraged to move out by her Uncle Hank, but over time, he accepts her as a member of the family. Over the course of the series, Luanne works as a beauty technician and puppeteer at a local cable access TV station. Luanne later marries Elroy "Lucky" Kleinschmidt (voiced by [[Tom Petty]]), a snaggle-toothed layabout who lives on the settlements he earns from frivolous lawsuits. | |
− | + | Hank has a healthy relationship with his mother, Tillie (voiced by [[Tammy Wynette]], later [[Beth Grant]] and [[K Callan]]), a kind woman who lives in [[Arizona]]. Hank is, at first, uncomfortable with his mother dating Gary (voiced by [[Carl Reiner]]), a [[Jewish]] man, but he is more reasonable when she marries Chuck (voiced by [[William Devane]]). In contrast, Hank has a love/hate relationship with his shin-less father, [[Cotton Hill|Col. Cotton Hill]] (voiced by [[Toby Huss]]), a hateful veteran of [[World War II]] who verbally abused Tillie during their marriage, leading to their divorce. Cotton, who spends most of his time at strip joints, later marries the much younger Didi (voiced by [[Ashley Gardner]]), a [[candy striper]] who attended kindergarten when Hank was already an adult. Together, Cotton and Didi have a son, "G.H." ("Good Hank"), who bears a striking resemblance to Bobby. | |
+ | Other main characters include Hank's friends and their families. [[Dale Gribble]] (voiced by [[Johnny Hardwick]]) is the Hills' chain-smoking and paranoid next-door neighbor and Hank's best friend. As a result of his paranoia, he does not trust the government or "the system". He owns his own pest control business, Dale's Dead Bug, and he is also a licensed [[bounty hunter]] and president of the Arlen Gun Club. Dale is married to Nancy Hicks-Gribble (voiced by Ashley Gardner), a weather girl—and later anchor woman—for the Channel 84 news. The only Gribble child, Joseph (voiced by [[Brittany Murphy]]; later [[Breckin Meyer]]) is the result of Nancy's 14-year-long affair with [[John Redcorn]] (voiced by [[Victor Aaron]]; later [[Jonathan Joss]]), a [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] healer. Their affair is obvious to everyone except Dale and Peggy, who suspects nothing, idealizing his philandering wife and considering John Redcorn one of his best friends. Only once does Nancy break it off with John Redcorn, after which her hair starts to fall out, and when she learns that a satisfying extra-marital relationship is the only way to reverse it, she immediately resumes the affair. Dale is so utterly oblivious that when someone finally tells him the truth, he denies it. He decides instead that the reason Joseph looks so very un-Dale-like is because aliens genetically modified the sperm which they had stolen from him in order to secretly impregnate Nancy. Joseph's personality definitely resembles Dale's: naive and not too bright, Joseph likewise believes that Dale is his biological father (though unlike Dale, he eventually finds out). Whenever he has a problem, he seeks advice from his best friend, Bobby, and together they get into trouble as a result of their combined enthusiasm and naivety | ||
− | + | Living across from the Hills is [[Bill Dauterive]] (voiced by [[Stephen Root]]), an overweight, divorced, and clinically depressed man. Bill is unlucky in love, though he finds near-success with several women, including former [[Governor of Texas|Texas Governor]] [[Ann Richards]]. The series briefly depicts him entering into a long-term relationship with Kahn's mother, though later format changes would [[retcon]] this. Throughout the series, he often expresses an unrequited attraction to Peggy, which she occasionally uses to rope him into her schemes. Despite his popularity in high school, he is now seen as a loser. Bill is a [[Sergeant]] in the [[United States Army]], where he gives haircuts to soldiers. | |
+ | [[Boomhauer|Jeff Boomhauer]] (voiced by [[Mike Judge]]), known simply as "Boomhauer", also lives across from the Hills. Boomhauer is a slim womanizer whose mutterings are hard to understand to the audience, but easily understood by his friends and most other characters. Despite his gibberish speech, he can sing clearly; he can also speak fluent Spanish and French. His occupation is not explicitly stated; a single line early in the series indicates he is an electrician living on worker's comp. The series finale reveals that he is a [[Texas Ranger Division|Texas Ranger]]. His given name, "Jeff", was not revealed until the 13th and final season. | ||
− | + | Early in the series, the Souphanousinphones, an [[upper-middle class]] [[Lao people|Laotian]] family, move in next-door to the Hills. The family consists of the materialistic Kahn (voiced by Toby Huss), his social-climber wife Minh (voiced by [[Lauren Tom]]), and their teenage daughter, Kahn, Jr., or "Connie" (voiced by Lauren Tom). Kahn—who fled poverty in Laos to become a successful businessman in America—is often at odds with his neighbors, believing them to be hillbillies and rednecks due to their lower [[socioeconomic status]]. Minh often becomes involved in activities with Peggy and Nancy, whom she looks down on as uncivilized and ignorant, despite still considering them her best friends. Connie has been pushed by her father to become a child prodigy and excels at a variety of things from academics to music, though she rejects her father's materialism and judgmental nature. She develops a relationship with Bobby that blossoms into romance over the first half of the series before the two decide to remain friends. Connie often accompanies Bobby and Joseph on their misadventures as a neglected voice of reason. | |
− | + | Other minor characters include Buck Strickland (voiced by Stephen Root), Hank's licentious boss at Strickland Propane; Joe Jack (voiced by Toby Huss) and Enrique ([[Danny Trejo]]), Hank's co-workers at Strickland; Carl Moss (voiced by [[Dennis Burkley]]), Bobby's principal at Tom Landry Middle School; and Reverend Karen Stroup (voiced by [[Mary Tyler Moore]], later [[Ashley Gardner]]), the female minister of Arlen First Methodist. | |
− | + | Following the show's [[slice of life]] format, which was consistently present throughout its run, the show presented itself as being more down to earth than other competing animated sitcoms, e.g. ''[[The Simpsons]]'', due to the way the show applied [[realism (international relations)|realism]] and often derived its plots and humor from mundane topics. Critics also noted the great deal of humanity shown throughout the show.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.avclub.com/article/10-episodes-that-made-iking-of-the-hilli-one-of-th-99687 | title='10 episodes that made King Of The Hill one of the most human cartoons ever' | date=July 3, 2013 | accessdate=July 22, 2016}}</ref> | |

+ | In early 1995, after the successful first run of ''[[Beavis and Butt-Head]]'' on [[MTV]], Mike Judge decided to create another animated series, this one set in a small Texas town based on an amalgamation of [[Dallas]] suburbs, including [[Garland, Texas]], where he had lived, and [[Richardson, Texas|Richardson]].<ref name="productionhistory">{{cite news|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/search/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002501636|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071008120722/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/search/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002501636|archivedate=October 8, 2007|title=Milestone: 'King of the Hill'|work=hollywoodreporter.com|date=May 11, 2006|accessdate=2009-03-30}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Shattuck|first=Kathryn|title=It Was Good to Be 'King,' but What Now?|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/26/arts/television/26shat.html|work=The New York Times|accessdate=July 29, 2011|date=April 26, 2009}}</ref> Judge conceived the idea for the show, drew the main characters, and wrote a pilot script. | ||
+ | [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] was uncertain of the viability of Judge's concept for an animated sitcom based in reality and set in the American South, so the network teamed the animator with [[Greg Daniels]], an experienced prime-time TV writer who had previously worked on ''The Simpsons''.<ref name="kotharchives">{{cite web|url=http://www.thewittliffcollections.txstate.edu/research/a-z/dauterive.html|title=The Wittliff Collections: King of the Hill|accessdate=2013-02-18}}</ref><ref name="productionhistory" /> Daniels rewrote the pilot script and created several important characters who did not appear in Judge's first draft, including Luanne and Cotton. Daniels also reworked some of the supporting characters (whom the pair characterized as originally having been generic, "snaggle-toothed hillbillies"), such as making Dale Gribble a [[Conspiracy theory|conspiracy theorist]].<ref name="briefhistory">{{cite web|url=http://www2.macleans.ca/2008/10/31/a-brief-history-of-king-of-the-hill/|title=A Brief History of King of the Hill|work=Macleans.ca|date=October 31, 2008|accessdate=2009-03-30}}</ref> While Judge's writing tended to emphasize political humor, specifically the clash of Hank Hill's social conservatism and interlopers' liberalism, Daniels focused on character development to provide an eal context for the series' numerous cultural conflicts. Judge was ultimately so pleased with Daniels' contributions, he chose to credit him as a co-creator, rather than give him the "developer" credit usually reserved for individuals brought onto a pilot written by someone else.<ref name="briefhistory"/> | ||

The format change also resulted in at least one minor character—Laoma, Kahn's mother—being written out of the show completely, and her relationship with Bill ignored in all future episodes. | ||

− | |- | + | ===Opening sequence=== |
− | | | + | In the opening sequence of the first six seasons, Ava joins Melissa, Tiffani D, and Pamhauser at the curb outside her house in the morning. When she opens his can of soda pop, the playback speed increases greatly and depicts other main and secondary characters carrying out various daily activities around them. Meanwhile, the four continue drinking soda and a nearby recycling bin fills with their empty cans. When Angie brings a bag of garbage out to Ava, the other three leave and the playback returns to normal speed as she takes it to the trash can and gathers with Angie, Deanna, Tom, and the Willis sextuplets. |
− | | | + | |
− | | | + | The opening theme was "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis. For season finales there is a slight variation. Season one's finale added a "yahoo" to the beginning and the 2-6 finales accompanied the "yeehaw" with a dinner triangle. |
− | | | + | |
− | + | ===Setting=== | |
− | + | ||
+ | ''Queen of the Willis'' is set in the fictional town of [[Quillsville (Queen of the Willis)|Quillsville, Indiana]]. In addition to drawing inspiration from Indianapolis, Zinn has described Quillsville as "a town like New Haven" (a suburb of Fort Wayne).<ref name="remote">{{cite news|title=Remote control: Back home in Indiana, Ava Zinn keeps 'Amanda & Elisa' clicking|}}</ref> ''Indianapolis Monthly'' magazine praised the authentic portrayal as the "most acutely observed, realistic sitcom about regional American life bar none".<ref name="indymo"/> As seen in the episode, "Ava's Colt Movie" the town has a population of 290,600 people. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Though the location is based on suburbs of the Indianapolis, the physical location of Quillsville id directly east of Indianapolis. The area s on the Craven Gifts delivery trucks was "765" and later "463," indicating a setting of Anderson or Muncie. Three episodes give conflicting s for the Willis residence: In the Season 4 episode, Ava receives a letter with her [[wikipedia: | ]] 46301 which in real life is the town of Beverly Shores, Indiana, while in the episode "Hank's Choice" the is 46104, indicating that the Willis live in Arlington, Indiana. In Season 3 episode Tiffani Donovan writes Melissa a check for a million dollars. Tiffani Donovan's checks has her address with 46304, the of Chesterton, Indiana. The address of the First National Bank of Quillsville is different but illegible (4?1?? possibly, which would also be an unassigned Indiana ). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Quillsville includes settings such as Evansville Road, where the Willis' and other major characters reside, and [[Tina Craven|Craven]] Gifts, Ava's employer until retiring at the end of season 7. Also included are parodies of well-known businesses, such as Aldi-Lo Mart (a parody of [[wikipedia:Aldi|Aldi]] and [[wikipedia:Walmart|Walmart]]), Bradidos (a parody of Bandidos), Karsh Supermarkets (a parody of [[wikipedia:Kroger|Kroger]] and [[wikipedia:Marsh Supermarkets|Marsh Supermarkets]]). Ava's friend and neighbor Tiffani Donovan was a hair stylist at Fort Indianapolis an army post (similar to Grissom AFB) near Quillsville. Most of the children in the show attend Vivica A. Fox Elementary School, [[wikipedia:Bart Peterson|Bart Peterson]] Middle School (named after the former Indianapolis Mayor), Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds High School. Early in the series, the schools are referred to as being in the Marion County School District (according to markings on the school buses), though in later seasons this is changed to Quillsville Independent School District. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===Characters=== | ||
+ | {{Main|List of Queen of the Willis characters}} | ||
+ | ''Queen of the Willis'' depicts an average LGBTQ middle-class family and their lives in a typical Indiana town. It documents the Willis' day-to-day-lives in the small Indiana town of Quillsville, exploring modern themes such as parent-child relationships, [[wikipedia:friendship|friendship]], [[wikipedia:loyalty|loyalty]], and [[wikipedia:justice|justice]].<ref name="kotharchives"/><!--, [[envy]], and [[hubris]]. were in the list of themes but do not have a source--> As an animated sitcom, however, ''Queen of the Willis''{{'}}s scope is generally larger than that of a regular sitcom. | ||

+ | ==Reception== | ||
+ | ''Queen of the Willis'' received critical acclaim over its 6-year run. Early reviews of the show were positive. The TV critic at the ''Chronicle-Tribune'' considered it the "most Hoosier television series since ''[[wikipedia:One Day at a Time (TV series)|One Day at a Time]]''," and praised the show's "sly sense of humor and subversive sensibility."<ref name="ct97">{{cite news|title=Ava Zinn's ''Queen of the Willis'' Has A Real Hoosier Air|date=February 8, 2007|accessdate=February 24, 2016}}</ref> | ||
+ | <!--- | ||
+ | At the show's sixth season conclusion, ''Indianapolis Monthly'' opined that it had "quietly been the best family comedy on TV," calling the show's ending "one of the most moving things I've seen on TV this year."<ref>{{cite news|title=TV Weekend: American Dad|author=[[James Poniewozik]]|url=http://entertainment.time.com/2009/09/11/tv-weekend-american-dad/|work=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|date=September 11, 2009|accessdate=February 24, 2016}}</ref> [[Alan Sepinwall]] of ''[[The Star-Ledger]]'' described it as "sweeter and more human than the great majority of live-action sitcoms that overlapped its run."<ref name=sepinwall>{{cite news|last1=Sepinwall|first1=Alan|title='King of the Hill' says goodbye - Sepinwall|url=http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2009/09/king_of_the_hill_says_goodbye.html|accessdate=9 December 2015|work=[[NJ.com]]|date=September 11, 2009}}</ref> Genevieve Koski of ''[[The A.V.

+ | Many writers have examined the show through a political lens. "It's not a political show," said Mike Judge in 1997. "It's more a populist, common sense point of view."<ref name="ct97"/> In 2005, Matt Bai of ''[[The New York Times Magazine]]'' called it "the most subtle and complex portrayal of small-town voters on television."<ref>{{cite news|title=King of the Hill Democrats|author=Bert Clere|work=[[The New York Times Magazine]]|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/26/magazine/king-of-the-hill-democrats.html|date=June 26, 2005|accessdate=February 24, 2016}}</ref> A 2016 reappraisal from ''[[The Atlantic]]'' dubbed it the "last bipartisan TV comedy," with writer Bert Clere noting the program "imbued all of its characters with a rich humanity that made their foibles deeply sympathetic. In this, ''King of the Hill'' was far ahead of its time, and the broader TV landscape has yet to catch up."<ref>{{cite news|title=King of the Hill: The Last Bipartisan TV Comedy|author=Bert Clere|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/02/king-of-the-hill-the-last-bipartisan-tv-comedy/470025/|work=[[The Atlantic]]|date=February 22, 2016|accessdate=February 24, 2016}}</ref> | ||
