It is very diappointing to know that this series isn't well known all over the world as much as that other family, you know, the yellow skinned family, with the naught boy whose name starts with B and finishes with a T, and his father who loves dougnuts and says D'Oh!! all the time.

Now i live in europe, so i don't know much about American Culture, but after seeing five seasons of King of the Hill, i must admit that i have come to know more about America and i have huge interest in America and how the americans live and what they belive and stand for. Thank god that they are finally releasing this series in Uk. Maybe it will finally get the attention and huge praise it deserves.

I noticed that the animation has improved slightly from the past seasons, and that certain continuity lines are still carried on, like for example's Nancy and John Redcorn's break up, with John Redcorn trying to tell Dale and Joseph about the truth of Joseph's real biological father, or Hank's father, Cotton, and his new baby son.

I really love this series, but the reason why i am not giving this dvd a five star is because there are certain episodes which seem to be the same like others from previous seasons, for example Bobby wanting to do something which his father doesnt approve of and end up agreeing with each other, or Peggy doing something shamefull and trying to make up with hank etc etc. There are some original stories but it seems some stories have already been told.

For fans of this series i highly recommend this dvd, and for new comers i suggest you start with the fisrt season. i am sure that you will agree with me that they are better than that other animated family.!

What can I say I love this show. It is one of my favorites. This season is just as if not better than the first 4. I love that you can buy these shows on dvd because one day if I ever get married and have some kids I will be able to show them the shows I used to watch as a teen well actually I am 21 so I guess technically im an adult. But I don't have to act like one!

this show kicks ass. its a sitcom about an old fashioned man Named Hank Hill. His Wife always has an oppinon about something, his boy is a dissapointment, his friends are all idiots, and his dad is a world war 2 vet, and his asian neighbours think he is a redneck. this season is very strong and contains great episodes. Give me Hank over Homer any day.

My 15 year old son is a huge fan of the series, and these DVDs didn't disappoint. Having the DVDs allows him to have all of the humor when he can find the time. For you other King of the Hill fans, this collection is a hit.

This is my favorite TV Series ever, and, in case you don't know already - this season was positively excellent. It breaks my heart to give this 2 stars, but the season 1 and 2 DVD collections had gobs of bonus features - deleted scenes, character comentary, making of featurrettes, you name it, it was there. There is no bonus content for the season 3 (and onwards) DVDs at all. Nothing. Even the menus feel cheap and tacked on. It's like they spent no time on these things. They crammed everything onto double sided disks to save a few bucks, and gave us no extra content because that would cost them 1 extra disk - like, 50 cents extra per DVD set.

I want to cry, and I want my 30 dollars back. I don't know about you, but I can see the episodes on TV already, the extra features are why I buy the DVDs.

King of the Hill is a great show, and Season 5 doesn't disappoint. A great buy for fans of the show.

LOVE King of the Hill! This set was wonderful!! Bought as a Christmas gift, and works the best!

Excellent writing, great character development. This is a great cartoon that was under-rated by the Fox Network. I find it upsetting that this great show was canceled for a far inferior "Cleveland show" or "Bob's Burgers"... Fox, what the hell are you thinking?
