While
King of the Hill's fate hangs in the balance, it still has to finish up its 13th season. Tonight marks the season finale of the acclaimed animated series, closing off with the episode "Uh-oh Canada."
On tonight's
King of the Hill, Boomhauer (Mike Judge) decides to trade houses with a family from Canada. Though the switch will only be for the summer, it seems like a long time. He leaves behind Arlen and the rest of its inhabitants, who in turn try their best to make the newcomers feel at home.
Unfortunately for everyone in the small Texas town, the Canadians aren't what they expected. Hank (Mike Judge) and the rest of the Rainey St. regulars try their best to put up with the neighbors, but none of them see eye to eye with one another. It's going to be one hellish summer for the Arlenites, who suddenly wish they had Boomhauer back.
While it seems like it isn't a fitting ending for
King of the Hill, "Uh-Oh Canada" promises to be quite an episode. Improv comedian Colin Mochrie takes his turn as a guest star, voicing the character Gordon. Seeing as how Mochrie had his beginnings in Canada, it's safe to say that he'll be playing the patriarch of the family who trades houses with Boomhauer.
FOX has announced that
King of the Hill might be back for two episodes to properly conclude the story, but no airdates have been announced for them. After 13 years and over 200 episodes, the animated show has risen to become the network's longest-running series to date.
The show employs the voices of
King of the Hill co-creator Mike Judge, Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Johnny Hardwick, Brittany Murphy, and Stephen Root. Don't miss its season 13 finale as it airs tonight at 8:30pm on FOX.
