THR: Fox won't renew 'King of the Hill' →

Thirteen has proven not-so-lucky for Fox’s veteran animated comedy “King of the Hill.” After several previous brushes with cancellation, the network has opted not to renew the series beyond its current 13th season.

I am eternally grateful to be alive at this moment in history.

This is not reasonable political expression; it is just malicious. And it is unacceptable. On behalf of the University of Kentucky I apologize to Senator Obama and his family. I will personally assure...
