King of the Hill: Season 13

The Black Bars Are Back... For The First 7 Episodes
I tell you what, man, back in 2006 Fox released the sixth season of KOTH on dvd and shortly after that they announced that they scrapped their plans to release any more seasons of KOTH. Dang it, man, Dang it! The fans went crazy and petitioned Fox to please release KOTH but we just got ignored. That is just bad business Fox, dirty pool, Fox, dirty pool. Now listen up Fox, at Strickland the customer comes first. That is right, the customer comes first. I reckon Fox needs to be schooled on that lesson.Flash forward to 2014. After nearly nine dang years of praying for this to come out, Olive Films comes to the rescue and starts releasing KOTH on dvd. Now I read some reviews on here and I got mighty scared to buy this, I tell you what. People were saying that their screens would just go black after an episode and not return to the menu, or the dvds wouldn't play, or there are black lines on the side of the picture. I don't know if they got bad copies or what but the set I have plays perfectly. There are no freeze ups and my dvds go back to the main menu after each episode. Every time, man, every dang time. That is all good BUT THERE ARE black bars hard matted on the image on the first seven episdoes just like the Season 11 set. Someone at Olive done gone and messed up but my friend Ron2900 thought he found a fix, I tell you what. I'm going to let him explain in his own words...Boomhauer isn't always that easy to understand so we thought I should explain this. When I have a full frame 4:3 dvd I will watch it in 4:3 mode on my tv and there will be black (in my case, gray) bars or I can watch it in 16x9 or screen fit and the image stretches with no black bars. On the first seven episodes of this season the black bars will not go away in 16x9 or screen fit and when I watch it 4:3 there are black bars in addition to the gray bars on my set so the image is scrunched and the image is too tall and skinny. From episode eight on the show went HD and the aspect ration changed from 1.33 to 1.78 and these episodes look like they should. I think someone messed up at Olive and I'm going to contact them about re-authoring these and getting replacement dvds but in the meantime...I was able to fix the same problem with the Season 12 set and view the show "normally" just like the previous seasons by changing the tv type setting in the menu on my Sony dvd player from 16x9 (I have a 16x9 tv set) to the 4:3 letterbox or 4:3 pan and scan setting. You would think it would work with this season too but all it did with is create a black border that surrounds the entire picture. The only way I could get rid of the black bars was to set my screen resolution to 1280x720 from my dvd player and then set my tv to zoom 1. It is not an optimal solution because the top and bottom of the picture gets cropped but that is the only one I found if you want to fill your entire tv screen. If anyone has a better solution or any questions about setting their player, feel free to comment or email me and I will try my best to help y'all. Back over to Boomhauer...Those dang ol' Fox flipper dvds, man. No worries, man, no worries. All 24 uncut episodes of Season 13 are on three single sided dual layered dvds. Let me break it on down for y'all:Disc One:01 Dia-Bill-Ic Shock02 Earth Girls Are Easy03 Square-Footed Monster04 Lost In Myspace05 No Bobby Left Behind06 A Bill Full Of Dollars07 Straight As An Arrow08 Lucky See Lucky DoDisc Two:09 What Happens At The National Propane Gas Convention...10 Master Of Puppets11 Bwah My Nose12 Uncool Customer13 Nancy Does Dallas14 Born Again On The Fourth Of July15 Serves Me Right For Giving Gen George S Patton The Bathroom Key16 Bad News BillDisc Three:17 Manger Baby Einstein18 Uh-Oh Canada19 The Boy Can't Help It20 The Honeymooners21 Bill Gathers Moss22 When Joseph Met Lori...23 Just Another Manic Khan Day24 To Sirloin With LoveVideo: Black bars aside, the first seven episodes are presented in a solid 1:33 transfer just like they aired. The rest of the season is presented in solid 1.78 transfer just like they aired. The colors on all pop and for the most part everything looks good. Sometimes I'll notice some jaggies in certain scenes but it isn't too dang bad or distracting.Audio: English 2.0 and Spanish 2.0. The audio is clear sounding and I have no complaints.Subtitles: EnglishExtras: Boy, I tell you what, man, this dang ol' set just has the episodes and nothing else. Dang ol' bare bones dvd. Dang it!

BEST ANIMATED SHOW TO WATCH WITH FAMILY > Excellent Season on Blu-Ray!!!!
VIGILANCE!!! FORNICATORS!!!! > I love this season, BOBBY HILL shines in these episodes!ORDERED = 10/07/2016 || SELLER = MovieMars || PAID = $23.11(Beware of Seller changes! That's when you may get burned!):: PROS ::1.) Good story telling & funny lines for many of the cast!2.) 3 FULL Blu-Ray Discs - so happy this season is a FULL one! (Blu-Ray is a MUST HAVE!!!)3.) Picture Quality is fantastic, NO BARS AT ALL!!!4.) Bobbys Vigilance line and the Sinners/Fornicators lines are HILARIOUS!!! (Reminds me of his self-defense training episode!)5.) STRONG ENDING FOR A GREAT SHOW THAT I TRULY MISS!!!!!:: CONS ::1.) Hanks lines are somewhat repetitive, feels like Hank got short end of the writing :(2.) If you own ALL of the discs & know the show well, Hank seems to have amnesia? (ie: Bobby finally joins a sports team? But he did that in earlier seasons.)OVERALL :: I LOVE KotH, it reminds me of when America was not so messed up & crazy. I can't watch any more Family Guy stuff, just to sick of cut-scenes & camera stares. I love all animated sit-coms (Bobs Burgers is my KotH fix nowadays!) but KotH will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. You can sit with your FAMILY and watch KotH. People that get offended by this show need to GET REAL!!! KotH is funny, thoughtful & has genuine character development.KOTH IS BETTER THEN ANY REALITY TV SHOW IN MY OPINION!!!!

Season 13 Only
King of the Hill is my favorite show probably ever. The photo for this item is deceptive, I should have known when the price was so great that it was only one season. It’s my own fault for getting over excited and thinking this was all 13 seasons. Just read the description carefully before purchase.

Lucky..at last
Waited a long time to find that the last season of the King of the Hill finally came out on DVD. Tom Petty as Luannes husband Lucky is portrayed in cartoon form..along with the rest of Hanks friends and family. His voice is so funny as he puts on a Texas draw...can't wait to watch it again after so long...

One of the best animated sitcoms takes a bow. An excellent final season gets a great Blu-ray.
The final season is full of laughs, quotes, and memorable episodes. After floundering for a few seasons the show really finished surprisingly strong. The Blu-ray looks great and b/c this was the only season originally made in HD, it's great to see it properly presented on Blu-ray. The picture and audio quality is absolutely superb, no artifacts or sound clipping. It's a total joy to own the complete final season in one slick Blu-ray set. My only complaint is that the case itself held the discs to tightly, that is... until I modified the inner plastic holders by removing some bits. Now the discs pop in-and-out perfectly.The set includes all the episodes from the final season, including the four 'lost' syndication only episodes, presented properly in originally intended order. And this set suffers from no odd issues/nitpicks like some of the previous sets did.Go ahead and get this final season of the animated hit on Blu-ray... I tell you what.

The blu ray skips
Great show 5 stars but one of the eps skips. But there are no scratches on disc.

Great show for anyone into comedy
Such an excellent show, one of the best-of-all-time in my personal opinion. Filled with laughs that address the times it was made in, it can be appreciated by both adults & children alike. Anyone who grew up in the 2000s should have an appreciation for this show which brings a level of nostalgia to the table. Written, produced, & directed by some of the same people responsible for the American-version of the "The Office," if you like this show, you'll love "King of the Hill."

Very Good Price!
First, I ordered this season and got my first copy. Unfortunately the first disc was scratched and would not play in my PS4 or PC. After going through the replacement process, all discs work great! Thanks to Amazon's fast replacement process!

Great show finally back on region 2
I love King Of The Hill and bought the fort 6 seasons on dvd when they came out. Sadly they were discontinued on region 2 for a long time after that. 7 seasons completely blocked off for European buyers. Thankfully they've appeared again and are well worth the money of you're a fan of the show.

In the final season the show moves to widescreen and we see Dale try to live like Bear Grylls
The Final Season comes to DVD. I never thought we'd have the full run of King Of The Hill on DVD so thanks to Medium Rare Entertainment for releasing the remaining 8 seasons. In the final season the show moves to widescreen and we see Dale try to live like Bear Grylls, Hank gets into a war with a neighbour over Independence day decorations, Luanne brings back The Manger Babies, and in the season finale Bobby impresses Hank by finding he has a talent for inspecting and distinguishing cuts of beef.

Good to finally have the set on DVD
Good to finally have the set on DVD, it's a pity they later series were not reproduced in widescreen HD like when first shown on TV.
