Having wrapped up King of the Hill's 13th season, series co-creator Mike Judge reflects on what it's like to work on over 200 episodes of the series. While it looks like the Arlen, Texas-based animated comedy has reached its end, there are a couple installments left to air. No dates have been released about that, but there's hope for return this September or October. However, Mike Judge believes the time really has come for the end.

"I actually think it's probably a good time to stop," he said on an interview with the New York Times. "Then again, I kind of wanted to stop six or seven years ago, and I felt like it got really good after that. At the same time I would prefer to quit while we're ahead rather than run it into the ground."

It seems that Hank Hill will live long after all. Following FOX's announcement that it was canceling King of the Hill after next season, other networks are apparently looking into acquiring the two-time Emmy Award-winning animated series. One of which is ABC, a network reportedly interested in bringing Mike Judge's show over its slate. However, fans should not get their hopes up just yet since discussions are still in early stages at the moment, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
