King of the Hill season 13
season of television series
The thirteenth season of King of the Hill originally aired at the 8:30–9:00 p.m. (EST) on Sunday nights on the Fox Broadcasting Company from September 28, 2008, to September 13, 2009. Four episodes from this final season originally premiered in syndication during the first week of May 2010. Actress Brittany Murphy, who voiced Luanne Platter, died on December 20, 2009, five months before the final four episodes aired. It is the final season of the show's initial run and the last to air on Fox.
Production
The showrunners for the season were John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky. Beginning with the episode "Lucky See, Monkey Do" (and in preparation for the DTV transition scheduled for during the season), King of the Hill started being produced in 720p 16:9 high-definition. 20th Century Fox Television initially ordered thirteen production episodes, but decided to keep the show in production for four additional episodes.
Like the previous season, because Fox wanted to make room for new shows on their "Animation Domination" line-up, two of the final six episodes that aired were "The Boy Can't Help It" and "To Sirloin with Love". Both episodes aired as a special one-hour final on September 13, 2009.

Why this record matters

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account.
