In the cited article in the "Conception" section, I could not find any reference to Arlen being based on Richardson. I did track down the quote in a New York Times article, and updated the citation. The NYT article loaded for me the first time, but the second time the paywall garbage popped up. Anyway, here's the relevant section:
>>> Q. You’ve said that the Hills and their fictional home of Arlen, Tex., were inspired by your time in Dallas. Any place or person in particular?
A. It’s Richardson, a suburb of Dallas. I actually grew up in Albuquerque, N.M., and had a paper route in a blue-collar neighborhood. West Texas and eastern New Mexico blur a little bit, and I remember my brother and I just noticing that every adult authority figure used to have a Texas accent. There was always someone going [with a twang], “Excuse me, boys.” <<<
The park scenes in the first episode of season three are doubtless based on a 1990's version of Heights Park in Richardson -- down to the rocket ship slide and creepy metal animals on springs, all of which has since been removed for what I assume is fear of lawsuits.

King of the Hill → King of the Hill (TV series) – This TV series is not significantly more prominent than the Steven Soderbergh film. WP:PRECISION. Film Fan ( talk) 14:48, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
My opinion is that it's trivia and, as is, takes up an undue amount of space for its significance. It was an extremely minor cameo (10 seconds) during a cold open for Family Guy. If anything, the information belongs on Family Guy's page. Jb 007clone ( talk) 18:36, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Can someone find a reliable source about the story about the Columbine survivor who wrote Judge about the impact of "Wings of the Dope" on her and her grief? If I remember correctly, she had a crush on one of the shooters and finally decided while the shooting was going on to tell him, then found out that he was responsible and she was too late. 71.50.238.51 ( talk) 00:35, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
"The series had a total of 259 episodes over the course of its 13 seasons, briefly making it the second-longest running animated series of all time behind The Simpsons."
I have a major problem with this fact, as it is full of baloney. Before King of the Hill even aired its first episode, an animated series in Japan had already been over with (aired its final episode in 1996), and had more episodes (same run time as King of the Hill episodes, give or take a minute or two) than King of the Hill would have by the time it would end in 2009. That series is DragonBall Z with a grand total of 291 episodes. Thats not to say King of the Hill didn't achieve a major feat, I'm only stating that this statement is false based solely on this one show. This isn't even counting the several other animated shows (Ones I'm unfamiliar with) in foreign markets that have episode counts (again, comparable run time to KOTH) that make BOTH aforementioned shows look like childs play. My point is, if you're going to add the word "American animated show" thats fine, but it was never second place for longest running animated show of all time. Not once. While we're on the topic, by this logic, Simpsons also is not the longest running animated series of all time... just American based. [1] 45.47.204.37 ( talk) 01:25, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
It's never even been the second longest running American animated show. Arthur has been number two since it premiered before King of the Hill and is still on the air after King of the Hill's cancellation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:FFC0:7B:5C96:4302:7921:8654 ( talk) 04:53, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

The last four episodes were aired in syndication in 2010 and a user going by "grapesoda2020" I think keeps reverting the edits to 2009. 2009 was when the last episode was broadcast on Fox. The show aired 4 more new episodes into May 6, 2010. Dpm12 ( talk) 04:47, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
Vandalizers keep reverting end date to September 13, 2009, but that was when the final episode aired on Fox. The final four episodes aired in syndication on May 6, 2010. Finally had to add footnotes to try and prevent further reverting. Dpm12 ( talk) 00:07, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
I'm a huge fan of the show, but there is a lot in this article that is not encyclopedic, or is presented very haphazardly. For instance, one of the first things said about Hank is that he takes good care of his dog and treats her like a member of the family. We really should hear about the family first. PurpleChez ( talk) 18:03, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
The article repeatedly states that the last four episodes of the series aired from May 3–6, 2010, but the only sources I can find for these episodes show original premiere dates on Adult Swim from May 17-20, 2010. The sources I've found are not up to WP's reliable source guidelines, or I would've already added them. However, I can't even find a secondary, unreliable source that covers the May 3–6 airdates.

I've changed the genre in the infobox and wording in the lead to use the term animated sitcom. This is backed by reliable sources [1] [2] [3]. In response to another editor's concern that show doesn't have a laugh track (and thus can't be a sitcom) [4], I would point to The Simpsons (a featured article) South Park and Futurama as similar examples of animated sitcoms without a laugh track and to The Office (American TV series), Parks and Recreation, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Modern Family and 30 Rock as examples of live-action shows we describe as sitcoms despite the lack of a laugh track. Further, to suggest a show cannot be a sitcom without a laugh track is original research. Calidum 19:45, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
