King of the Hill: A Slow, Challenging Comedy

What I like about King of the Hill is it's not exhausting to me in a way that the Simpsons or these other shows are where there's 800 jokes in one line, and it's kind of a sarcastic kind of humor. The Simpsons at its best balanced that. It went from a very funny show that was at its core about a family in the lower middle class trying to fit in into a show that placed the gag above the ethos and the character development. And then it just became a bunch of dumb disjointed jokes. We need more animated shows on air instead of characters talking back and forth without the medium ever being actually exploited.
