FOX Changing Sunday Lineup

King of the Hill is reaching the end of its road on FOX, though the show has long been one of the anchors of its Sunday night, animated-series heavy lineup. Currently in its 13th season, final episodes of the series are expected to air next year.
Created by Beavis and Butthead mastermind Mike Judge, King details the life of Hank Hill, wife Peggy and son Bobby - and a cast of characters that represent the best and worst of Texas living. The Emmy-award winning show is likely being dropped for the new Family Guy spin-off The Cleveland Show, expected to air during the 2009 season.
American Dad, which runs after Family Guy at the bottom of the 9 pm hour, will be renewed for a fifth year on the network.

King of the Hill Renewed

Well - it turns out the number 13 can, in fact, be lucky for some.
FOX has just announced that one of its comedic mainstays, King of the Hill, will be returning to the airwaves fall. Not only will fans be getting a whole new 13-episode set of the program, the upcoming season will mark the show’s 13th year on air.
Although more half hours may later be ordered, the network apparently has what it needs for the time being. The Mike Judge series did not suffer a production shortage due to the writers strike; most of the segments had already been written prior to the work stoppage.
The Sunday staple is positioned only behind The Simpsons as the longest-running animated series ever. The 2008-09 year will mark the 19th year for Matt Groening’s creation.
