<P> Many writers have examined the show through a political lens . "It's not a political show," said Mike Judge in 1997 . "It's more a populist, common sense point of view ." In 2005, Matt Bai of The New York Times Magazine called it "the most subtle and complex portrayal of small - town voters on television ." A 2016 reappraisal from The Atlantic dubbed it the "last bipartisan TV comedy," with writer Bert Clere noting the program "imbued all of its characters with a rich humanity that made their foibles deeply sympathetic . In this, King of the Hill was far ahead of its time, and the broader TV landscape has yet to catch up ." </P> <P> King of the Hill is currently ranked #27 on IGN's "Top 100 Animated TV Series". In 2013, TV Guide ranked King of the Hill as one of the top 60 Greatest TV Cartoons of All Time . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Award </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> Nominee (s) </Th> <Th> Result </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Annie Awards </Td> <Td> Best Animated TV Program </Td> <Td> 20th Century Fox and Film Roman Productions </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Best Individual Achievement: Directing in a TV Production </Td> <Td> John Rice for "Keeping Up with Our Jones" </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Best Individual Achievement: Voice Acting by a Female Performer in a TV Production </Td> <Td> Brittany Murphy as Luanne Platter </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Best Individual Achievement: Voice Acting by a Male Performer in a TV Production </Td> <Td> Mike Judge as Hank Hill </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Best Individual Achievement: Writing in a TV Production </Td> <Td> Paul Lieberstein for "Luanne's Saga" </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Alan R.
