In the first ever episode of King of the Hill, Bobby gets a black eye and Hank yells at the Mega-Lo-Mart, so a social worker comes around thinking Hank beats his boy. Boomhauer rambles about dang old something, man. Dale’s son looks like he might be someone else’s son. Luanne’s a better truck mechanic than the guys. And Bobby ain’t right…but Hank loves him, anyway. Here on Yep, we talk about how it all started in January 1997, back when Ronnie’s favorite band, The Smashing Pumpkins, had just followed a double album with a box set of 5 EPs, Rob thought Arlen might have been a real town, and Mike Judge and Greg Daniels created one of the best shows of all time.
